China has approved the construction of the world's largest dam on the Brahmaputra River in Tibet, with an estimated cost of $137 billion. This ambitious project, part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, is expected to generate over 300 billion kWh of electricity annually. The dam will be constructed at a massive gorge in the Himalayan region, where the river makes a dramatic U-turn before entering Arunachal Pradesh in India and flowing into Bangladesh. This development underscores China's focus on large-scale infrastructure projects.
