Panel Exposes 'Dark Side' of China's Green Energy in Tibet

A panel discussion in New Delhi has unveiled the hidden costs of China's renewable energy drive in Tibet. Held at the India International Centre on December 1, the event highlighted how Beijing's "green" narrative conceals severe environmental degradation, including pollution from lithium mining and the construction of mega-dams on the Yarlung Tsangpo. Experts warned that these projects systematically displace Tibetan nomads and militarize the region under the guise of sustainability. The panel emphasized that exploiting the "Water Tower of Asia" threatens downstream water security for India and Bangladesh while cementing China's geopolitical control.
