China builds world's largest dam in Tibet

China has begun construction on a massive £737 million hydropower dam in Tibet, intended to be the world's largest. The project, approved by the central government, will be built on Tibet's longest river and is expected to generate significant power. Concerns have been raised by neighboring countries and climate activists regarding environmental impacts and water control. The dam's construction faces objections due to potential alterations in river flows, biodiversity loss, and seismic risks in the earthquake-prone region.
