The remotest town on China-India border in south Tibet, the last town connected with rest of China

[namefield_empty]

It seems that Yarlung Tsangpo swells a lot, could cause serious floold in downstream India.

The Yarlung Tsangpo in the video seems to be serene compared to the Siang in Arunachal Pradesh and the Brahmaputra in our place. Even other rivers in Arunachal Pradesh like the Dibang and the Lohit appear a lot scarier. Most of the rain bearing monsoon winds discharge their contents south of the Himalayas. Btw, i think that China is also dealing with unprecedented floods this year.

The Yarlung Tsangpo in the video seems to be serene compared to the Siang in Arunachal Pradesh and the Brahmaputra in our place. Even other rivers in Arunachal Pradesh like the Dibang and the Lohit appear a lot scarier. Most of the rain bearing monsoon winds discharge their contents south of the Himalayas. Btw, i think that China is also dealing with unprecedented floods this year.

Don't even try to explain that most of the water in the Brahmaputra is generated in the hills of Arunachal Pradesh; you won't get any buyers, particularly from the pom-pom crowd that desperately needs to believe that China can cut off water to India. That is needed to be there so that they can conjure up nightmare visions of India cutting off water to Pakistan, so that they can go hysterical with rage over hypothetical situations. Just read the thread on the moronic news item on India Today or some such Indian TV programme, that has given them some very nice moments of frothing at the mouth.

So rain in the Yarlung Tsangpo means floods in Assam, and please stop arguing.
