Some xv years ago, a Chinese engineer Li Ling together with a retired PLA General Gao Kai, seriously worked on a scheme for the diversion of the Yarlung Tsangpo/Brahmaputra. Li Ling published a majority called Tibet's Waters volition Save China inwards which he detailed the diversion project, also known equally Shuomatan Canal (from Suma Tan inwards Central Tibet to Tanjing inwards China). At that time, 'experts' denounced the plans of Li Ling together with Gao Kai. Beijing also decided to cool downwards India’s legitimate worries.In 2006, the Chinese Water Resources Minister Wang Shucheng, a hydraulic engineer, affirmed that the proposal was "unnecessary, unfeasible together with unscientific. There is no demand for such dramatic together with unscientific projects." He withal admitted that in that place a innovation inwards the drawers, but "the projection involves major fiscal together with technical difficulties".
Wang farther explained: “For example, nosotros must proceed an middle on possible floods when the Yellow River has 58 billion cubic metres of water. If some other l billion cubic metres, non to lift 200 billion, is poured in, I am certain all the dams together with protection embankments volition live on destroyed immediately.”
He added: “the terms of diverting H2O from the Yarlung Zangbo would live on much to a greater extent than expensive than whatever of the electrical current H2O projects.”
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao also confirmed: “The Chinese regime has no plans to ready a dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River (the Communist People's Republic of China utilization of the Brahmaputra) to divert H2O to the Yellow River.”
Qin Hui, a professor inwards the School of Humanities together with Social Sciences of Tsinghua University declared: “We stimulate got to stimulate got the international reply into consideration. It is undoubted that the lower reaches of Yarlung Tsangpo River are inside India's Assam Province, where it is a lifeline for local agriculture together with backbone of the economy, simply equally it is farther downstream inwards Bangladesh.”
The Chinese media also criticized Li Ling's majority Tibet's H2O volition Save China.
Nobody took the projection besides seriously.
The novel scheme
Today the province of affairs is different, Prof Wang Hao mentioned in my article is the main proponent the novel diversion scheme; he is Chairman of the Expert Group on Dialogue for the ‘Red Flag River Issue’.
Wang is a respected academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, together with honorary managing director of the Water Resources Institute of the Communist People's Republic of China Institute of Water Resources together with Hydropower Research. He is also Vice President for Communist People's Republic of China of the Global Water Partnership; Deputy-Director, Academic Commission of Communist People's Republic of China Institute of Water Resources together with Hydropower Research (IWHR) together with a fellow member of the Science & Technology Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources.
He is an alumnus of the famous Tsinghua University.
He did his B.Sc. on Irrigation together with Drainage Engineering, from the Department of Hydraulic Engineering, Tsinghua University (April 1978－July 1982) together with his M.Sc. on Hydrology together with Water Resources from the Department of Hydraulic Engineering, (August 1982－March 1985).
Later he earned his PhD inwards System Engineering from the Institute of Economics together with Management of the same Tsinghua University.
Tsinghua University
For to a greater extent than on Tsinghua University, allow us stimulate got a hold off at Wikipedia:
When the Cultural Revolution began inwards 1966, many academy students walked out of the classrooms, together with some went on to live on utilization of the Red Guards, resulting inwards the consummate shutdown of the university. It was non until 1978, later the Cultural Revolution had ended, that the academy began to stimulate got inwards students again. Even so, Tsinghua University remained inwards the move yesteryear tier of schools inwards China.
Wikipedia farther explains:
Since the 1980s, the academy has incorporated a multidisciplinary system. As a result, several schools were re-incorporated. These included the School of Sciences, the School of Economics together with Management, the School of Life Sciences, the School of Humanities together with Social Sciences, the Tsinghua Law School, the School of Public Policy together with Management, together with the Academy of Arts together with Design.
Chen Xi
Who was seating on the same benches than Wang Hao when the University reopened later the Cultural Revolution?
One Chen Xi was there.
Chen is today fellow member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China. Chen is also Secretary of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China, together with President of the Central Party School.
From 2002 to 2008, Chen served equally the political party main of the University. Later he was vice-minister of teaching together with Vice Chairman of the Communist People's Republic of China Association for Science together with Technology.
Wang together with Chen know each other from the 1970s.
Wikipedia says:
“Chen was recommended to attend the prestigious Tsinghua University equally a ‘Worker-Peasant-Soldier student’, where he earned a bachelor's degree. At Tsinghua he was friends alongside Xi Jinping, who was also tending Tsinghua at the time.
Chen had joined the Communist Party inwards Nov 1978. After graduating from Tsinghua he returned to Fuzhou University to move a lecturer. In September 1979 he headed dorsum to Tsinghua where he completed a Masters of Science degree. He stayed at Tsinghua to operate for the Communist Party together with its affiliated Youth League equally a political organizer.”
Incidentally, Chen was born inwards September 1953, Prof Wang is a calendar month younger.
Another well-known Tsinghua Graduate
Another famous alumnus from Tsinghai University is born inwards 1953 (June).
His yell is Xi Jinping.
His closeness alongside Chen from their student’s days explains the latter's quick advertisement to the politburo. Let us quote Wikipedia again:
Xi Jinping
From 1975 to 1979, Xi studied chemic technology scientific discipline at Beijing's prestigious Tsinghua University equally a ‘Worker-Peasant-Soldier student’, where technology scientific discipline majors spent virtually one-fifth of their fourth dimension studying Marxism–Leninism–Mao Zedong thought, doing farm operate together with "learning from the People's Liberation Army".
The introduce diversion scheme
That is why the introduce diversion scheme is far to a greater extent than serious than the previous one(s); he may stimulate got the backing of many inwards the academic earth together with the Party.
The scheme, presented yesteryear Wang Hao together with his grouping of scientists, should non live on dismissed similar the previous i prepared yesteryear 2 onetime nationalist fools (Li Ling-Gao Kai Plan).
Further, equally mentioned inwards yesterday’s article. Communist People's Republic of China has tremendously progressed inwards the technological field, making it easier to realize on the projection ground.
The employment is the projection economically feasible?
Certainly not, but if big shots are behind...
