The picture shows the South-to-North Water Diversion Project
After the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, another water diversion project in China has been exposed. The second Yellow River is about to emerge. It is the Hongqi River West Water Diversion Project. It is planned to divert water from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to support Xinjiang , If the project is realized, the cost will be as high as 4 trillion, which is a very rare large-scale project in the world, then can China complete this project? As a result, China has not officially started construction of this project. Neighbor India could not sit still and banned China from building the Hongqi River, otherwise it would not hesitate to tear its face with China.

So why does China plan to build the Hongqi River? I believe the Chinese will not be unfamiliar with the name Hongqi River, because in many rural areas, there are Hongqi Canals that flow through farmland, and these diversion projects were dug by hand by older generations of Chinese, because in Hongqi Canal_ Before the excavation of span15span, farmland irrigation has always been a problem. If there is not enough water to support the growth of crops, it is very likely that there will be a lack of agricultural harvest. Therefore, the older generations responded to the call and began to build the Red Flag Canal across the country. At present, the Hongqi Canal in many places is still playing an important role, and the Hongqi River planned to be built now can be regarded as an upgraded version of the Hongqi Canal.

It is not easy to irrigate Xinjiang with water from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. You must know that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has a very high altitude, with an average altitude of more than 4000 meters. It is very difficult. For the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway alone, China took decades to finally complete its opening to traffic. The Hongqi River excavation workload is not less than that of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and it also needs to traverse many mountains. In addition to the large amount of work, the fragile ecology of the local area is also the key to obstructing construction. In particular, the Hongqi River must flow through many tundra zones. How to not affect the surrounding environment must be fully considered.
So China's plan to build the Red Flag River is exposed, why can India not sit still? It turns out that many rivers in India also developed from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.For example, and the Yarlung Zangbo River flow into India, so this country is worried that once China diverts the water from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to Xinjiang, it will lead to water shortages in India. In fact, India’s current drought and water shortage problems. It is not caused by China, but because India has not planned its own water conservancy facilities. There are only 93 reservoirs in India and the population is as high as 1.3 billion. Such a small number of reservoirs simply cannot meet India’s water needs. Even if China does not divert water into Xinjiang, The water from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also flows away in vain, not to mention that India has no right to interfere with any projects that China conducts in its own territory.

If China's Hongqi River can be realized, what kind of positive impact will it have on Xinjiang? First of all, nature is to improve the natural environment in Xinjiang. Thinking of Xinjiang, many people will be associated with the Gobi Desert. Because Xinjiang lacks water sources, it has been in arid environment for a long time, and only a few oases can rejuvenate. Now China is managing the desert and reinvigorating it. The key to sand is also the source of water. With water, it is possible to plant trees in the desert and reduce the desert area. At the same time, more water resources can ensure the development of Xinjiang's agriculture and drive the rise of the local economy.
Although the Hongqi River needs to invest at least 4 trillion yuan to be realized, and it will take decades to complete, the construction difficulty is no less than that of the West Line Project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, but once this artificial river is successfully excavated, Xinjiang and even Xinjiang The entire history of water shortage in the Northwest region will be completely rewritten, so that the western region can also retain talents and promote economic development, which will also have a positive effect on improving China's population structure.
