China is planning to build the world's largest dam on the Brahmaputra River in Tibet. The project, estimated to cost USD 137 billion, has raised concerns among neighboring countries. China claims the dam will not affect lower riparian states,

China has approved the construction of the world’s largest hydropower dam on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, the Tibetan name for the Brahmaputra, near the Indian border. The $137 billion project, described as the world's biggest infrastructure undertaking, has raised concerns in downstream nations India and Bangladesh.

The project has stoked concerns about displacement and environmental impact downstream in India and Bangladesh.

Beijing has approved plans to dam a gorge in the Himalayas that is three times as deep as the Grand Canyon, despite concerns about the impact on Tibetan and India.

China is pressing ahead with plans to construct a mega-dam near its contested border with India, a colossal undertaking that could generate three times as much power as the Three Gorges Dam.

China's planned mega hydropower project will generate over three times energy than the Three Gorges Dam, currently the world's biggest.
