印度开发雅鲁藏布江 也许会损害孟加拉国的利益

NEW DELHI: India’s “increasing efforts to exploit the Brahmaputra river+ through various forms,” may have harmed Bangladesh’s interests, China’s state-run media said today.

环球时报表示，印度通过各种形式，不断加大开发雅鲁藏布江的努力，也许会损害孟加拉国的利益。

And Bangladesh, Global Times wrote, can’t do anything about it because it is economically dependent on India, which takes away its “bargaining power.”

对此，孟加拉国束手无策，因为其经济上依赖印度，这一点夺走了其讨价还价的筹码。

These statements from the government-run media come in the wake of reports that China is blocking a tributary of the Brahmaputra+ river, for what it says is its most expensive hydroelectric project ever.

中国官方媒体的这些言论，适逢中国截流雅鲁藏布江支流，为的是修建其所谓的最贵水电站。

There has been concern in India that this would block Arunachal Pradesh’s and Assam’s access to this water that comes to it downstream from Tibet.

印度有人担心，此举会让“阿邦”和阿萨姆邦用不上从xz往下游流的河水。

There was no need for India to “overreact”+ to news about China’s decision, Global Times wrote. It’s “easy to understand the anger of Indian people as they read recent news reports saying China had blocked a tributary of the Brahmaputra River,” but Indians are ignoring the fact that the capacity of the dam’s reservoir is lower than 0.02 per cent of the Brahmaputra’s annual run-off, the state-run news service said.

环球时报写道，印度没有必要对中国的决定过度反应。印度人看到最近有报道称中国截流雅鲁藏布江支流，他们会感到愤怒也是容易理解的。然而印度人忽视了这么一个事实，即该大坝的储水能力，不到雅鲁藏布江年流量的0.02%。
