2:40 PM With Beijing’s ambitious new plan to construct a mega-hydropower plant, tensions between the two Asian giants are expected to rise. The structure would cross the Brahmaputra River until it leaves the Himalayas and flows into India, straddling the world’s longest and deepest canyon at an altitude of more than 1,500 metres (4,900 feet). The Tibetan local government signed a “strategic partnership deal” with PowerChina, a state-owned construction company that specialises in hydroelectric projects, in October of last year. A month later, Yan Zhiyong, the CEO of PowerChina, gave the Communist Youth League, China’s ruling party’s youth wing, a sneak peek at the initiative. The “super-dam” however is in a league of its own.
