Myitsone dam

Myanmar revived plans for a $3.6 billion Chinese-backed 6,000-megawatt Myitsone dam in northern Kachin state on the Ayeyarwady River.
It would have exported around 90% of the power it generated to China and it would cause huge environmental damage.
A World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) report in 2018 estimated that some 34 million people in Myanmar live in the Ayeyarwady basin, roughly two-thirds of the country’s population.
Northern Kachin state has been rocked by fighting between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the military for decades.
