China’s Mega Dam in Tibet: A $160 Billion Geopolitical Weapon? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

China is building what will become the world’s largest dam — deep in Tibet, on the Brahmaputra River. Known as the Motuo Hydropower Station, the $160 billion project will surpass the Three Gorges Dam and could turn Asia’s vital rivers into tools of political leverage. The dam raises serious concerns about water security in India and Bangladesh, with fears of drought, economic harm, and even a “water bomb” scenario. Analysts view it as part of Beijing’s broader strategy to weaponize rivers, as seen before on the Mekong. Both India and Bangladesh have formally voiced their objections, and New Delhi is now planning a counter-dam on its side of the river. Meanwhile, China frames the project as a gift to Tibet and a source of clean energy — but its neighbors see a looming geopolitical threat.
