Are we testing ground for CHINA?

CHINA once boasted for their world's largest capacity hydroelectric power dam named three gorges dam. China government regard it as a historic engineering, social, environment success. But 2 years after its fully operated, what has exposed to them from their proud dam? They are struggling to fix the consequence of their wrong doing. Their longest and useful river, Yangtze, became a victim of building this mega dam. It paved the way for a place of super dam. The dam is located on the upper steam of the Yangtze river and block effectively. Firstly they thought they'll able to control possible floods in the downstream of their river that is life blood for most of their paddy fields which are planted on the either side of few thousands long bank. Moreover, the dam's capacity at 22,500MW in full capacity is hugely satisfy Chinese to go ahead and they are proud of moving green energy. Beside they want to show the outside world how they are taking care of environment.

However, now the Yangtze river start to show sign of drought along its river bed. Since the dam blocked its source at upstream, the river got limited water and farmers became victim of water shortage in their daily life as well as their cultivation. The government knows they are being panalized by global warming and artificial wrong doing. So their environment minister are being rushed to ease the problem. In fact they want to cover the consequence of their proud dam. Yesterday the government official ordered the dam management company to release 5 billion cubic meter of water immediately so that the Yangtze river can relief somehow. It show the urgent difficulties of their nature as a result of their development. It's fine to do in what the ruling party wants to do with their own land. The problem is they are investing in the poorer countries for developing hydroelectric power dam.

Being neighbouring country, my country suffer most of their energy-hungry attitude policy. My country is well known for its natural resources rich. Unfortunately, our government is not wise enough to cover our irreplaceable nature gift. Since independence in 1948, my country has been ruled by soldiers and they misconducted our natural resource. China has learned a good lesson from their proud dam that how such development can effect environment. How does it cost to its people. They needed to displace 1.3 million residents to pave a way for dam construction. The dam stretch to 2335m in length and 181m height. I'm very angry to see our Irrawaddy river is suffering for water shortage. It became drought historically worst. The media show the reason indirectly as the media censor is highly controlled by government.

Recently, our government signed agreement with China company to build a hydroelectric power dam at the upstream of our longest river, Irrawaddy. Our river is made of two small rivers at the upperstream. The dam is going to be built on the junction of those three rivers called May Kha, Malikha and Irrawaddy. What a stupid development is it? Nobody from country except few leaders agree with this. The locals of course suffer most first as they are being displaced by authority. Second, our beloving river suffer for unable to get enough water supply. We all are not happy to see dying river because it gave us clean water, help river transport, help cultivation, etc. But our people can't do anything but seeing it in regret because it's done by government.

Why China are doing the same mistake in our soil? Is it because their people won't suffer consequence of this dam development? They have cut all the forest in that province. Even they shifted our century age trees alive and replant at their territory. Eventually our land become plain and their land become greenery. Why our government is allowing this kind of thing happening in our soil? Why our people are not deserving to protest this project? Why China can do almost everything in our country? I want to remind our leaders that we are not Chinese colonial country. In reality, they, China, are treating us like its colonial. They took all advantages of us by pretending they want to see us developing. Some ethnic rebels are attacking this dam project as they dislike seeing their own local people suffer. But it is unlikely to see them success as it's up to government. The government will do everything if there is something block in their way.

I'm just feeling sad to think of it. China is saving their river, Yangtze while they are trying to kill our Irrawaddy. Hello, Chinese, are you systematically spoiling our future? Please respect our environment and our future if you are a good neighbour. You have taken most of our natural resources such as oil, gas, mine, jewellery, forest, human resources, raw agri-based products, etc. Then why are you still trying to kill us by doing something you don't like? Since you have taken a good lesson from your own Three Gorges Dam, please stop doing the same mistake in our land. I believe you can make energy from somewhere else. You have enough money to buy enough energy from all over the world. Let me beg you this thing that

Please do not kill our life-blood river, Irrawaddy. I beg your mercy, pleaseeeee.
