Could China’s Tibet Mega Dam Help Boost Its Sway with South Asian Neighbours?
TIBET, CHINA, JUL 22 – The $168 billion hydropower project aims to generate 300 billion kWh annually, boosting China’s clean energy and economy while raising downstream water security concerns in India and Bangladesh.
- Last week, President Donald Trump asserted, `American money financed the Grand Renaissance Dam`, prompting strong pushback from Ethiopian officials.
- Earlier this month, Trump made the claim on his Truth Social platform alleging the United States `stupidly` financed the dam, and he also said it substantially reduces the water flowing into the Nile River.
- Ethiopian authorities have denied, Aregawi Berhe dismissed Trump's claims as groundless.
- Against a backdrop of Nile tensions, the GERD heightens regional conflicts as Ethiopia denies US funding claims, risking further destabilization in Egypt and Sudan.
- Ethiopian officials announced plans to inaugurate the $4.2 billion Grand Renaissance Dam in September, after more than a decade of construction, Africa's largest hydroelectric project.
