China's mega dam on the Yarlung Zangbo is more than a new energy engine
China has broken ground on the world's largest hydropower station high on the Qinghai-Xizang/Tibet Plateau, a new engine for green energy. But beyond clean power, what will the massive project on the Yarlung Zangbo River mean for China's vast west and its South Asian neighbors? What challenges lie ahead, and could it reshape regional cooperation?
Host Tu Yun joins Dr. Qu Qiang, a fellow of the Belt and Road Research Center at Minzu University, Zoon Ahmed Khan, a research fellow, Center for China & Globalization, and Gao Xirui, a Political Science PhD candidate, Department of Politics and Public Administration, University of Hong Kong for a close look at the facts, the controversy, and the high-stakes engineering behind this mega project.
