Tibet provides a lot of water to China and India
- cyberpunk 5y agoAnd what, china thinks tibet will somehow find a way to stop rivers running? Or the kind of people who move individual ants while building temples would poison such waters? I still don't get it. Maybe it's those little blue flowers from Batman Begins they're after? >_<

- throwaway_1928 5y agoChina is already planning the "world's riskiest mega dam" in Tibet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEYuRFJ12iw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEYuRFJ12iw. It plans to use water supply as a weapon against India.
- warner_of_doom 5y agoChina, yes. India, no. Most of the water entrapment areas of India are within India's borders. And, the rest come from the Himalayas, where it isn't easy to divert the flows, and most of those mountains are under Indian control. See: https://www.thetibetpost.com/en/features/44-environment-and-health/6941-tibet-the-third-pole-and-water-tower-of-asia https://www.thetibetpost.com/en/features/44-environment-and-... The real threat is China launching attacks from Tibet, against India. Why? Because much of Chinese trade goes through the Indian Ocean, where India has negative control. So, it is easy to see China getting wary of India and launching a territorial war from Tibet, in order to gain dominance over India. And, of course, Pakistan would join in.
