China's $62 BILLION Plan To Build World's Largest Network Of Artificial Rivers

China's $62 BILLION Plan To Build World's Largest Network of Artificial Rivers

China is undertaking the construction of the world’s largest network of artificial rivers in a bold attempt to essentially defy nature. Spanning thousands of miles with a network of man-made canals, aqueducts, and tunnels that traverse actual mountains, China seeks to transport freshwater from the south to its arid industrial regions in the north. In this video, we will delve into the contentious South-to-North Water Diversion Project: its financial implications, the reasons behind it, its environmental impact, and how it might benefit—or fail to benefit—the Chinese population.
