It's going to affect everybody. It's just a matter of making sure it affects the super-rich even more. Otherwise nothing will ever get done to stop the problem.

For those who questioning, this has became a serious problem not just for Cambodian alone but every countries fishermans and farmers who relied entirely on the Mekong River. Mekong River flows into a lot of countries in Asia, but because China built lots of dams (11 of them by the way) at the source of Mekong to make electricity, it changed the river flow and decreased the water level of the river significantly. This did not affect China in any way, but it's a disaster falling into all other countries that the River flows into. I'm from Vietnam myself, and the Cuu Long River, the ending point of Mekong River in my country also became just like this, if not worse. Before, the Mekong River splitted in 9 smaller rivers, hence the name Cuu Long (literally means 9 Dragons). But recently, all of them has completely dried up, especially in the dried season, when not a single drop of water could reach the sea. Lots and lots of farmers could not water their crops, and lots and lots of fishermans lost their jobs. All I can say is, thanks a lot China, for millions and millions of lives who solely depended on the Mekong River as their only life source, has been affected if not straight up been destroyed just for the sole purpose of making electricity for your own country...

This reminds me from the avatar the last airbender the city on water Jang Hui a fishing town, a factory moved in few years ago at the city because of rich people, and gunk up their water, now fishes slowly are dying, and dont want to live their and the people, they're starving. I bring this up because i seen that cartoon when i was young and i really never really thought a town actually exist like this in real life and this happening and it honestly makes me so sad man

China has been building super large hydroelectric dams on the Mekong River. But China has always denied contributing to climate change, and it has no significant compensation for farmers in the lower Mekong countries.

中国永远不能成为社会主义国家。中国人民非常努力，资本主义制度对他们的努力给予了奖励。共产党希望社会相信最近的经济增长是因为他们以及他们的共产主义制度。但是，增长的原因是努力工作的中国人民，而不是政府。对于所有阅读此书的中国人，请了解中国人与中国政府之间的区别。政府宣称要战胜贫困，战胜病毒，但他们也提供了错误的统计数据并掩盖了事实。贫困线每年都在减少，统计数字在无影响的情况下发生了变化，爆发新闻立即在微信等社交媒体上受到审查。您有权了解共产主义政府的邪恶行为，而不仅是正面消息。您应该知道，您的税款仅用于资助党员的奢侈生计。中国自称讨厌美国，但中国国家主席和大多数共产党员把他们的孩子带到国外去美国学校学习。您应该知道，纳税人的钱永远找不到社会主义社会。大部分金钱从金字塔的顶端开始，从贿赂和腐败开始。在列出的所有国家中，中国是世界上最不慈善的国家。中国人民永远不会给无家可归或不幸的人一分钱。在您的国家/地区给别人钱似乎有很多信任问题。如果您不能将钱捐给附近的无家可归者，并且您不信任他们，那么您认为共产党员将用您的钱做什么呢？我不讨厌中国。我爱中国，我爱中国人。我讨厌共产党。没有共产党，中国仍然可以有很多经济增长的繁荣生活。看看台湾。台湾是中国人民可以过上自由民主生活的一个例子。台湾也是一个繁荣的国家。如果您有法治和稳定的法律制度，那岂不是很好吗？我当然不想因为可以用数千种方式解释的模糊法律而被捕。想象一下，如果中国停止窃取人们的钱财，并干涉人们的私人生活，它将获得多少外国投资。请进行一些批判性思考，并控制自己的思想。当您小时候长大，在学校教过爱共产党，并相信这是谎言时，您就在伤害自己。当您观看CGTN和CCTV等政府所有的新闻公司时，请考虑一下它们没有告诉您的内容。外国互联网被封锁在中国是有原因的，这是因为共产党希望向您提供更多的宣传。我知道您希望您的国家成为第一名。您想为自己的国家及其发展感到自豪。但是这种发展只会使精英阶层受益。你不应该为此感到自豪您不应该为这个有缺陷的政府而感到自豪，这个政府假装关心人民。

the restriction of the natural flow of the Mekong River upstream, together with over fishing of the waters and also pollution of the rivers and lakes are more to blame than the climate change. but some moves are in place to help some of these issues

With that amount of water nearby why don't they fish farm instead. Atleast they can provide food for themselves. If managed properly it is nit impossible for them to gain further profits from it

@sekaihunter9378 3 жыл бұрын

Do you understand that large amounts of fishes simply cannot live with that amount of water? I had seen countless times when people tried to make fish farm and all of their fishes died, not because of pollution or toxic, but simply because the water level was too low. They even went as far as blowing oxygen into the water to keep the fishes alive, just because the water level was too low. And yet you tell me to make a fish farm with that amount of water? That would be a disaster during the dry season, when the water level will be even lower than that... And also before you ask, I live in Vietnam, the ending part of Mekong River, and it's even worse than this. Just in 2020 alone it had became the driest year in the past 100 years ...

They should focus on growing independent from the river, even that it's main way for income. Some farming or even growing fish in artificial lakes could be a way to survive.
