Thank you for this video ❤❤❤❤

Would it be fair to say, in simple terms, that the cost of extracting energy from a river, is that 1) it disturbs the ecology of the river system, and 2) it lowers the sediment levels, and thus the nutrients of the river downstream, yeah?

DUDE THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!

Wow all so my grandma survive this she all so had to run away from Laos because of genecide

[@SleeperGuy23]

Your characterization of the Mekong and Danube is funny. China is a big mean bully for damming a river but Germany is smart and industrious and look at this cool canal. To be clear, I am not in favor of potential weaponizing of water access due to dams, but I felt the need to mention the difference in presenting that information.

You are pissed because you are Vietnamese 😂

[@Based_Lord_Humongous]

It's the South China Sea. The only legitimate China is the Republic of China. The West Taiwan Occupation Party is NOT China.

[@lrn_news9171]

Lmao China doesn't have water issues in the south (some people claim that's why they're building dams in south). They're damming the Mekong because of energy generation, they're harnessing the Mekong for hydroelectricity. Indeed China's energy demands are still skyrocketing. And of course almost all of these stupid videos about China and the Mekong, it doesn't emphasize the fact that south of the border, Laos has built 4 dams on the Mekong and building like 30 in the next 10 years in the tributaries, Thailand is also building a dam I believe. The problems on the Mekong with the water levels, decreasing amount of fish and the effects on agriculture are mainly caused by Laos' dams as China's dams are pretty far to the north and aren't affecting the river that much in these southern agricultural regions, it's like a 500km-1000km downstream. Almost all locals in Laos and Cambodia who are experiencing problems along the river blame it on the most recent dam in Laos, which is a massive one. Its name escapes me but it was finished recently and people living downstream are talking about problems caused by the Laos' dam projects.

I heard the plastics are burden too

[@francisnjenga142]

You didn't have yo paint China in bad light. You should strive to be unbiased and objective in your videos(china does things for the interest of its people Which isn't a bad thing) painting them as heartless makes your video politically charged

[@FactSpark]

Thank you for the feedback, but I don't think I have presented it as heartless. Their actions during the drought have shown that they are willing to alleviate the drought issues downstream, but the fact that this control can be a means of power exertion is an objective fact. I'm also stating that Laos is attempting the same feat, which objectively complicates the situation and also allows them to "weaponize" the water and sediments if there is a need for it. The political chargedness is not something I am creating; it's an unfortunate byproduct of hydroelectric projects on rivers running through multiple countries. Also see the River Nile, where a similar but more extreme situation is playing out.

[@389383]

Being a dictatorship tends to put a country in a "bad light".

[@frankfleming1103]

Divided by country, media and individuals from English speaking countries can directly ignore it. Most of them have been brainwashed

[@JoeKo-w1p]

How about China not build a bunch of Dams effectively shutting off other countries life line?

[@zacktimmons2886]

He is speaking the truth… sorry you don’t see it that way but that’s the way it is…China doesn’t need 11 major dams on the Mekong.. that’s a bit excessive

[@ramprasadnayak3165]

why you are concern about another country. river etc..better mind your own business
