China is building the world's biggest dam right above India, and India doesn't trust what could come down the river.
Arunachal Pradesh's Chief Minister calls it a "water bomb", because a sudden release could flood the towns below. In 2000, a landslide in Tibet burst and destroyed the homes of 500,000 people in India, and China's own geologists now warn the slopes around the new dam could collapse.
In 2017, during a border standoff, China stopped sending India the river's flood data but kept sending it to Bangladesh. Now India wants a dam of its own that holds more water than China's, mainly to catch whatever comes down.
So what do you think China's dam is really for?
