China greenlights world's largest dam, posing risks to India and Bangladesh

The Chinese government has approved the construction of the world's largest dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo River, known as the Brahmaputra in India, near the border with India and Bangladesh. This project, which could generate three times the electricity of the Three Gorges Dam, has raised significant concerns in India and Bangladesh about potential water flow disruptions and environmental impacts. The dam's location in a seismically active zone adds to the worries about its safety and the potential for catastrophic failure.

This development has led to diplomatic tensions, with India expressing concerns over the lack of transparency and the potential for the dam to be weaponized in water disputes.
