In a historic move signalling China's deepening commitment to clean energy and ecological modernization, Chinese Premier Li Qiang on July 19 officially launched the construction of one of the world's most ambitious hydropower projects on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Nyingchi, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
