The level of engineering construction in China has always been in a leading position, and it is also known as an infrastructure madman. In recent years, the Yarlung Zangbo River Water Conservancy Development Project has been mentioned many times, but there has been no official document before. In fact, the technology for constructing hydropower stations downstream is already very mature. Regarding the issue of power transmission, my country has many years of experience in this regard. High-voltage transmission technology has been widely used, and there are no technical problems.
Recently, news about the establishment of a hydropower development project in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River has spread. It has become a hot news report in the Indian media within a short period of time. They are worried that once the project is completed, India will become passive and the eastern powers do not need to do it. The victory can be won by cutting off the upstream water source.
According to a report from the World Wide Web, the relevant person in charge of the project, Yan Zhiyong, said that this time it has been clearly put forward in the document, not a simple plan, but a formal implementation, and the construction of the Yarlung Zangbo River hydropower station will start. The hydropower resources in the basin of this area are very rich, especially in the downstream turning areas, hydropower resources are quite advantageous, and it is also known as the world’s most abundant hydropower. If it is formally developed and constructed, then The scale will be equivalent to three Three Gorges power stations. Both for the power industry and for the protection of people's livelihood, it is a very meaningful measure, and the prospects are very optimistic. After
learned the news, many media in India panicked. They quoted the above report. For a while, this news became a matter of great concern to the Indian public and the government. Indian media reports emphasized that India and neighboring countries are countries in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River. If China builds hydropower stations there, they will face great threats to water security. The "Hindustan Times" published a message claiming that China has an advantage over India in terms of cross-border water resources. Once China "weaponizes" cross-border rivers, countries in downstream river basins may be in trouble. .
Everyone knows that the large-scale confrontation between China and India on the border has been going on for a long time, although in terms of comprehensive national strength and military strength, India is far behind China. In this confrontation Among them, India has already consumed tens of billions of dollars. India’s economic strength is not very strong, especially after being affected by the new crown epidemic, the economic conditions of most industries have been stagnant, so these military expenditures are a large expenditure for them, despite this, They didn't stop, but they insisted on wanting a lasting confrontation.
So when they learned that China was going to build a large-scale Yarlung Zangbo Hydropower Station, they were very panicked. In the past few years, China has also built some water conservancy and power facilities in the border areas, but the scale is not very large. , So there is no substantial impact on India. But this time the situation is different. Once the Yarlung Zangbo hydropower station is successfully built, it may have a very important impact on downstream India. In this regard, my country believes that India’s worries are superfluous. my country has invested sky-high funds to build water conservancy projects that benefit the country and the people, but India believes that my country is targeting them, and it is a bit too high.

Some relevant analysis pointed out that if the relationship between China and India is friendly, then the Yarlung Zangbo hydropower station is beneficial to both countries. It can provide water resources during the dry season, and during the flood season, flood storage can be used to reduce downstream flooding. The impact can play a role in peak shift adjustment, which can also bring positive benefits to India.
But this requires a prerequisite, that is, the relationship between China and India is no longer a deadlock. If the two sides have been in a tense confrontation because of the border issue, it is very difficult to talk about cooperation and friendly bilateral relations. . China respects the sovereignty of any country and is unwilling to provoke disputes. If China and India can maintain friendly relations in the future, this project will not only benefit the Chinese people, but also benefit the Indian people.
