How will china benefit from the Yarlung Tsangpo project?International affairs expert Mohammad Shoaib ahmed to understand this project. He said, China's proposed multi-billion dollar hydrodam will have about 60 GW (giga watt) (60,000MW) power generation capacity. This will make china more self-reliant in the field of energy. china is already the world's largest energy consumer. In future, if there is any supply disruption (of oil and gas) due to a war in the South china Sea, then china will be able to easily handle the energy crisis.Mohammad Shoaib also told that 94% of China's population lives in Eastern china and this dam will also be built on the eastern side. This will also reduce the distribution cost of electricity.Why is it a danger for India?Senior journalist Mohammad Shoaib said, the construction of a huge dam on the brahmaputra river can have environmental, geopolitical and socio-economic effects in India. This can have many possible consequences. Like when india needs water, it will not get it and when it does not need it, the impact of water will increase. Due to this, flood situation can arise. This dam can change the natural flow of the river. This can affect the availability of water in india, especially in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. Water shortage can have a bad effect on agriculture, fisheries and livelihood.
