Could China and India go to War over Water?
Use code tldrnews at the link below to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan: incogni.com/tldrnews
Due to an odd twist of politics, China controls most of the water in Asia as it originates in Tibet, meaning that China's downstream neighbours depend on the goodwill of CCP for a reliable freshwater supply. So, in this video, we take a look at how China controls Asia's water, why it's becoming an issue, and what might happen next.

Ok, so there are some factual inaccuracies. Hydrological survey of Brahmaputra showed that 80% of the water in the river comes from the catchment area in India and not Tibet. Similarly, Indus captures water later as it crosses into Pakistan

This can be confirmed on google maps as the Brahmaputra drainage basin mostly lies within India The region is also geographically one of the wettest places on earth, with a village called Mawsynram in that region receiving an average annual rainfall of 11,872 millimetres (467.4 in), making it one of the wettest places on Earth as mentioned on Wikipedia.

Fear of Brahmaputra water diversion might be a myth.. according to an article I read by United states institute of peace , % of water in Brahmaputra entering from China, might be as low as 7% . Such low % of water controlled by China , must be the reason Indian govt is not taking this too seriously

I will never understand using what criteria these people classify disputed regions on their maps, if you show kashmir and Arunachal pradesh as disputed areas.

Moreover, independent Tibet existed for 39 years (1912 to 1951), not 2 as you claimed. Simply put, Tibet was almost never properly a part of China. Of course, Mao wanted control over the waters in the region, and illegally annexed Tibet in 1951, proceeding with forced Sinicisation subsequently. That is also why China wants their puppet as the next Dalai Lama, since that would allow them to legitimise their annexation.

You're mistaken to think Tibet can ever be a battlefield. Tibetan highlands are called the Ceiling of the world. It is the physical wall that separated Chinese and Indian civilization for thousands of years! But in a modern conflict highlands yield a significant artillery advantage. In plain terms, China can bombard Indian military and cities with little to no trouble. India can't fight a uphill battle in the tallest mountains of the world. Also millions of Chinese tanks & soldiers will descend upon India. Turning India into battleground. If you're only counting on the Tibetans to save yourselves you're doomed already!!

The very first line is wrong. You said, _Due to an odd twist in politics, China controls most of the water in Asia._ It wasn't "an odd twist of politics", China invaded and conquered Tibet so that they would have control of the sources of the rivers. Mao knew exactly what he was doing. He knew that if Tibet remained independent, it would have control over China's water supply, and he knew that if he conquered Tibet, China would have control over other countries' water supply.

Whether it's water, food, energy or production there aren't many countries that do all of this themselves - China, I think, is something of an exception to this being an exporter of all but oil (and is producing a lot of it's own energy through renewable sources). It's certainly a tactic that means the rest of the world can't afford to stand up to you.

@@everburn why would you compare a small part of Europe to all of China though? its misleading. You either compare all of China to all of Europe or, a province in China against a province in Europe. If you want to compare the UK, then lets compare it to Jiangsu which has a population density of 830/km² and the UK just 279/km². Both have similarly large populations of 84.7 and 68m retrospectively so they make a fair comparisons.

This was one major impetus driving conquest of the what is now known as the Tibet Autonomous Region. Many forget the fact these countries have been sparring on a REGULAR basis for nearly four years now in the Himalayas and nobody recalls the 1962 conflict between the two... Unlike many other comments, I don't care about mapping inaccuracies as they are obviously sourced materials and boundaries shift and that is how it goes. I think the major thing we fail to realize is a resource as precious as water makes gold look like dust... think about what an OASIS is. Water is CRITICAL and the PRC does have substantial control over multiple MACRO WATERSHEDS in the region and this is part of the conflict. Not all, of course. Good video

Thank you for your video! As a person from China I have not yet realized that we can even control the water to limit and contain the growth of the India. But now I learned it from your video and I will share it with more Chinese friends to think about it. It is a excellent idea since the border invasion issues and the aggressive foreign policy from the India against China, we Chinese cannot always be silent to those invasions from India, and our CPC government really need to adopt a smarter and more effective method (based on your video) to overwhelmingly stop industries in nationalism India. 💪

Rivers that originate in Tibet get most of their water along the way through tributaries. In other words, irrespective of the origin, the primary catchment areas of those rivers are NOT within Tibet. Moreover, those rivers flow DOWN from the Himalayas into the Indian subcontinent for a reason. CCP can't fight gravity either.
Classic case of the West, and especially America, (yes, including most policy makers) not understanding Geography for shit. If they could've forseen even a quarter of what China would eventually become- they would have taken Tibetan independence much, MUCH more seriously after it's annexation and subsequent years. Not saying the CIA should've done China dirty, but Nixon visiting China more or less killed any chance of that independence ever happening. There was a tiny spark of reignjtjng the issue in the 80s-early 2000s when "Free Tibet" exploded onto the public/celeb consciousness buuuut yeah. It really sucks because a low populated region (wish country) like Tibet would have made for the PERFECT caretaker for Asia's water supply. They'd never be able to use/withhold the water supply. It would have been great. Hell, even if China were able to annex the headwaters of their own two rivers and water supply- it still would've been phenomenal. But because it's now controlled by a super power...they can turn off the tap whenever they please. Not even for their own water, but for the most populated regions on earth.
“Do to an odd twist in politics” do you mean war, forced subjugation, and an occupied sovereign nation with a thousand or more year history?

Yet another forum where China seemingly trumps India. Its quite interesti mng how much foresight Chinese leaders have had, to create arenas that give China such increased leverage over their neighbours and rivals.
China laid claims on these territories using two sources: Tang and Yuan. The Tang managed to conquer Central Asia and parts of modern Afghanistan and Kashmir for over a century (650s-760s). The Yuan meanwhile annexed Tibet and parts of modern Himalaya terrain to interior China for the first time. Given this aspect, it is worth worrying that China will justify their territorial claims of previous dynastic empires to achieve their aims over India.
