Tibetans have experienced waves of genocide since the 1950s. Now, they are facing ecocide, the reckless destruction of their fragile environment. Under China’s red regime and its expansionist policy, there began the environmental destruction, degradation and exploitation of Tibet’s natural resources. China has attained the dubious distinction of taking the lead role in climate change. Outside the Arctic and Antarctica, the Tibetan plateau glacier has the largest store of ice on earth.
Tibet has very powerful rivers, with the potential to generate huge amounts of hydropower. The mighty rivers of Tibet are being dammed by Chinese engineering consortiums to feed the mainland’s relentless quest for power. Incessant taming and construction on the Yarlung River or Brahmaputra is a huge threat to downstream nations of India and Bangladesh.
Tibet’s environment is critically important to the sustainability of development of Asia and even to the survival of the continent’s billions who live downstream. The Chinese Communist Party never shared plans with downstream countries. It is absolutely impossible to get information from the CCP but the cost of choking water would have tremendous consequences.
The impact and damage to Tibet’s environment will cause huge frequency of earthquakes and floods in the surrounding areas and will have huge economic repercussions, and lead to massive displacement and irreparable losses of huge proportions and increase conflicts will all neighbouring countries.
Rather exploitation of African natural resources by China will make more sense
