Manage episode 496448471 series 3343901
China has broken ground on the world's largest hydropower station high on the Qinghai-Xizang/Tibet Plateau, a new engine for green energy. But beyond clean power, what will the massive project on the Yarlung Zangbo River mean for China's vast west and its South Asian neighbors? What challenges lie ahead, and could it reshape regional cooperation?
