The Mekong River is facing a crisis and is gradually deteriorating due to the impacts of climate change and the construction of dams, which severely affect the river’s ecosystem.

 

Thai PBS World interviewed Brian Eyler, an expert on transboundary issues in the Mekong region who specialises in China’s economic cooperation with Southeast Asia, to discuss the effects of dams on the Mekong River’s flow and suggest potential solutions to save this mighty river.

Once again China snubbing its nose at its neighbours typical attitude 😔

I've said this many times for many years. The CCP is THE most dangerous bunch of a..holes on the planet. Xi Jinping wants only one thing. Complete dominance over his own people which he basically already has and economic and military dominance in the Asia Pacific Region.

(1) that's not "one thing", it's two.

(2) Do you really think he's limiting his ambitions only to the Asia Pacific Region? I don't.

I sincerely apologise for my error. Wait! Is it an error though? Miltiray, economic, control of recources and people could also be seen as 4 different parts of just one thing. Dominance.

I wonder who's paying for all the dams in Laos?

Wonder if NongKhai will still host those 'mysterious fireballs'?

A lot of them are funded by Thailand would you believe. The ROI is a cheap hydroelectric power supply.
