Water is replacing oil as the strategic natural resource of the 21st century. China is fortunate that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the third pole of the world and also called the “Water Tower of Asia,” is situated within its borders. However, the Chinese regime has ignored the U.N.’s international water laws and has weaponized water resources to gain control and intimidate other countries.
Mekong River
The Mekong River was once one of the richest water resources on Earth. It originates from the Lasagongma Spring, which is a glacial stream in the Tibetan Plateau, and flows through China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam, before eventually flowing into the South China Sea. The Upper Mekong Basin is known as the Lancang River in China. Known as the “Danube of the East,” it has now become a political bargaining chip for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to control Southeast Asia.
