Hahahah. Why? First world nations do this on the regular.

Ugh.... that comment just reeks of Western privilege. What Bhutan does with their resources & energy is of no concern to any outsiders, unless they're involved in said operations themselves. Reductively, the advisor's comments just say: "They shouldn't be able to do X with their own resources. WE know what's best for them, not Bhutan."
