Abstract
This study explores the effects of China’s hydro-imperialism, where control over upstream rivers is strategically used to assert geopolitical influence. China’s extensive dam-building on rivers flowing from the Tibetan Plateau significantly impacts downstream nations across social, economic, and environmental fronts. Through a qualitative synthesis of existing research and policy documents, the study reveals profound socio-economic consequences, such as community displacement, disrupted livelihoods, and power imbalances in water negotiations. Environmentally, it points to a loss of biodiversity and altered river ecosystems. Geopolitically, China's dominance reshapes regional dynamics, underscoring the urgent need for stronger governance frameworks. Future research should focus on in-depth assessments of these long-term impacts, explore innovative governance solutions, and foster international cooperation to ensure fair and sustainable water management.
