China preparing for ‘water war’ with India

China has stepped up preparations for a future water war with India by speeding up the construction of a massive dam on the Mabja Zangbo River, just a few kilometers north of the tri-junction border with India and Nepal, Kathmandu-based online magazine Eperdafus reported.

According to Eperdafus, with this project, China could increase tensions in the future and establish complete control over the area’s water.

Open-source intelligence @detresfa_ has revealed that based on its latest satellite imagery, the Chinese dam is located very close to the Kalapani region of Uttarakhand.

Not only this, but China is also building an airport near the dam, which could prove very useful for the Chinese Air Force. From the picture, it can be seen that the construction of this Chinese dam is not finished yet, but the work is continuing according to Epardafus.
