Dam opposition swells – Antoaneta Bezlova

From Inter Press Service, via Asia Times:

By boycotting a dam conference organized by the government, Chinese environmentalists have protested the lack of transparency in a river project to build the world’s largest hydroelectric cascade on the Nu River in southwestern China that flows into Myanmar and Thailand.

The environmentalists feared that the conference, held in late October, was being used to get around public disclosure of secretive state plans to harness the Nu River – a pristine waterway.
