The oppositions are just propaganda campaigns by the West. It's just to create wars like the one between Thailand and Cambodia right now. My understanding is that 80% of the water from the river to South Asia comes from the monsoon that drenched the Southern Himalaya. This takes place down stream from the dam. 2nd, hydropower requires water flow. What silly nonsense with these oppositions. Typical Western interference.
interesting for India to express concern. It must also feel for the pains of the Pakistanians who are the target of their actual, rather than hypothetical, water weaponization. I guess there is no equivalent in Hindu to what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
If NATO-US-Aukus did not threaten to cut off China’s sea trade, perhaps China might be persuaded that its energy supplies is sufficiently secure. I tend to blame the West for making energy security a major issue for China.
Perhaps China could indeed threaten India’s water supply (I have no idea if this is correct or not). India should do more to assure China that it does not threaten China’s energy security!
India's words carry no weight. It cannot threaten China's energy security if it tries. Modi needs to a big "daddy" (like Rutte) to threaten China but at the risk of annihilation.
Even the collective "might" of NATO-US-AUKUS won't matter much once a few carrier groups are sunk. What are they going to cut off China's sea trade with?
In an all out war, no one's trade is safe and China can do as much damage to the collective west as the other way around. Threatening trade is a lower rung in the escalation ladder. In a real contest, what's important is who will win in the battlefield. Trade is secondary when compared with survival.
As for whether China will threaten India water supply, that is not the intent for building the dam but can certainly be done if Beijing really wants to. After all, China sits on the upstream and there is no water treaty with India. India cut off Pakistan's water supply even with a formal treaty signed in 1961. Modi would be smart not to provoke China. As a country, it's decades behind China and its national power is negligible.
China could burn down an orphanage full of abandoned kittens and you'd find a way to praise them for it. You're a tankie. Glowing praise from a sycophant is worthless.
Don't understand India's concern. This isn't a dammed project, it is making use of the natural fall of the water and harnessing its energy to generate electricity. My biggest concern would be environmental and not from the dam itself but from the absolutely huge influx of workers, road building etc.

A terrific read, thanks Godfree
$167 billion for a century of electricity at less than half the cost of AUKUS and its century of debt.

China makes things, US destroys things - including, apparently, your mind.
people like these have no minds. they are grown in troll farms fed with chicken excrement and jew vomits
I guess that's exactly the dilemma you struggle with - how to praise Israel for genocide
The typical Western interference and warmongering...
...while the smear from a vomit filled troll is worth applauding:)

Even the Non Chinese people are praising China and it's policies.
Thos is great but dampens the sporits of the US sychophants

This will be the biggest job creation programme in history. Can’t wait for the term ‘Modi vivendi’ to hit the headlines.
