China's new hydropower project on the Yarlung Zangbo River is sparking global curiosity—and the Foreign Ministry wants you to know it’s all about balancing green energy and environmental care. 🌱 Here’s the lowdown:
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun confirmed Wednesday that the project, located in the river’s lower reaches, will prioritize disaster prevention, clean energy development, and climate action. Think of it as a triple win: boosting local livelihoods, slashing carbon footprints, and safeguarding ecosystems. 🏞️
"This project strictly follows China’s highest industry standards," Guo emphasized, adding that construction will avoid key ecological zones while sharing flood data with downstream countries. No more 'water wars'—just cooperation! 🤝
With climate change looming larger than a Marvel villain, China’s push for hydropower could set a template for sustainable development. Plus, they’re keeping it 💯 with eco-protection measures like preserving original ecosystems and minimizing disruptions.
TL;DR: Clean energy + cross-border teamwork = a brighter future for everyone along the river. 🌏✨
