China is building another mega dam on Yellow River: sc.mp/0wae
Preventing natural disasters from the Yellow River has been the goal of every Chinese ruler since ancient times, and the current Chinese government is no exception. But what makes China’s “mother river” so vulnerable to natural calamities, that it has also become known as the “Sorrow of China”? And how have past civilisations tamed the river and tapped its full potential?

Read more on this in the SCMP: sc.mp/0wae
China has only 9% of the world's land surface, yet 18% of the worlds population! Maybe they need to contain themselves a bit, for the sake of equality eh?
SCMP videos really stick out among similar content providers by having enough visuals accessible to not need to repeat them. This was an interesting little lecture, not least, visually!
Wow, the amount of water and the speed they travel at is crazy!
you didnt live near rivers are you?
This is a fascinating and challenging example of ecological management to balance nature in harmony with human needs. It's unfortunate how unintended results can occur, but learning is a life long practice.
Deforestation is intentional.
@@fullcircle4723 the consequences are not though
"China is a place where dreams come true."
- a generation ago, Chinese people don't even have enough to eat.
- today, 154 million Chinese travelled abroad for their vacations back in pre-pandemic 2019. Spending $387 billion, which was 35% of the global tourism revenue for that year

Hi I'm Chinese, sorry for the covid!
Can anyone tell me how to go on youtube without vpn??
You’re no human with a fake face cover
The river is now largely for irrigation purpose
The river that gives livelihood also takes lives. Such is the power of water. The wise Chinese says that water can hold and float ships that weighs many tons.
Amazing how you were able to showcase exclusively western experts sharing their opinions on the yellow river. I guess there are no scientists in China capable of expressing findings about their own land. SCMP wins the award for best western mouthpiece. Would love to see the day when CNN does a piece on American history and only have Chinese experts share their commentary.
Scmp is owned by Jack ma and you know who he is
Why can't you just appreciate the report? The other day I saw a documentary about Norway's North that was made by Chinese PHD students (from a Chinese university) who were simply interested by the region. I think it's great that other people are interested into other countries and aren't only centered about themselves.
Here's the worlds tiniest violin for your hurt insignificant feelings.

@@petervan7372 - Yeah, but most of the editors are white in scmp. Jack Ma is the owner but he doesn't run the show.
It’s not a yellow river. It’s just noodle soup
Trust me even the media also getting so close can fall on the same plate.
China has had to manage the Yellow River for agriculture and its cities, but this needs soil specialists and plant specialists to plant much more trees and green spaces upstream to slow the silt accumulation. It takes smart planning and strategic planting of trees & grasses where root systems can hold the soil upstream to slow erosion. At the same time local officials have to balance soil protection/erosion protection with economic development. On the latter point, climate change can bring drought or flooding, so there needs to be more study & prevention of man-made problems. We hope China succeeds. ❤❤😊
Indus river,Nile river and yellow river are very important
And ganges
@@runajain5773 Its ganga not ganges..
thames
0:19 it is true that it is reffered to as "Mother River" (母亲河), but so is Yangtze. Also, if you go to baidu, you will find examples of many other countries and their rivers. So I am not sure if "mother river" is an expression of gratitute (as it was kinda subliminally said in this video), maybe it just means the longes river? Any Chinese ppl here to prove/disprove?
the birthplace of Chinese civiilization is around the yellow river, thats why its regarded as the mother river.
Yangtze (or we call it ChangJiang), is only incorporated in Chinese cilvilization much much later
It is terrifying that such a mighty river dries up and doesn’t flow to the ocean. Won’t that affect the salinity of the ocean? Can the sediment be dredged out of the river bed and put back on the farmland?
Ye its a very interesting debate. Some of the Dams in China have stopped sediment frkm reaching downstream to places like Vietnam and Laos. The sediment beung very fertile.
All the very best!
China's fate China's choice. Just let the Chinese be Chinese, after all we have survived through thousands of years. Go China!
This analysis is not updated. Reforestation is not the priority now, with the massive destruction of trees planted to pave the way for grain planting
Which location are we looking at. The Chinese from mainland or Chinese Cantonese Bible one?
Namaskar, 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Meanwhile, we Indians treat our Holy rivers like a sewer.

Managing a river is science, needed experimentation, failure and adjustment.....
Dams wont solve the flood or access water flowing prevention rather it will destroy river property etc
China is the country of hard working peoples💕💗💖❤💓🇨🇳🇵🇰✌❣💞💓
Political observers were beginning to be doubtful of what you reported/claimed were all truthful or just to improve your viewership. We felt that we had all been taken for a ride.😮
Whatever people say..China is doing very well on its own
levate i sottotitoli capre
Yellow river 150yrs ago is totally different in 2023...i've a rare photos of Yellow River from my Great Great Grandpa Photo Archives of then Ancient China
How different was? If you can, share your pictures, would be great
WOW WOW WOW !!!
Actually, the first Chinese government was founded for taming the yellow river
You try to tame it, it will claim you
You should just live along with it and carry on
It more like mud river😂😂😂
You control the water, you can control everything.

Incredible 😮
When a smart baby gets a really hard toy, it takes him 5,000 years to master it. This is the history of the Chinese nation and the Yellow River.
Ooh it's the earlier china, Cantonese one. More relevant. Run Run Shaw and Disney Hollywood down South East
Long live china, long live Chinese
♥️🙏
The population is not growing, is shrinking so the water shortage won't be a problem in the future.
especially when more and more people are migrating to the south where have no water shortage problem. And more water are also being transferred from the south to the north.
bs who told the population is shrinking? china has 1.42 billions people that is not even including the people in Hong kong , macca and taiwan. the covid 19 stop chinese give birth for a few years. But chinese populations were constantly about 350m to 500m but today is 3 times of the past. How can there is water shortage? but china needs to divert there waters to other places that is all.
Per Capita water consumption will increase manifolds in the coming years despite shrinking population.
Probably you are right, have my son that let the weather run when brushing his teeth, pretty normal among younger generations. @@theGalactic57
This is flood 😂
Interview some Chinese experts not those westerners who know nothing about China.
Aiyah, the Yangtze river North to south East. Tamer one. All the way down to Thailand and Malaysia. Your financial system needs to be reset app wall street money too much need to pause first not river water but sui(money)
4:53 wow really this footage? this is propaganda, those are not trees they are sticks
Can China help us restore the Ganges river?
A simple solution would be to block off the source.
Yellow 😂
Why would you interview a foreigner for a yellow river what would hevknow

U cant forbit nature being a nature. The paradox here is human is apart of nature and still have a capability being over the nature. Human can works and at same time a capability to controll the natural resource. Thats the human nature.

China man are ver clever
every problems , science come up with an answer, that answer become the problems one day, so on. Man against nature is normal, life is temporary, everything is temporary. river is temporary. chinese lucky to have 3 big rivers, the long river, the yellow river and pearl rivers
China, of course have an impeccable record for environmental protection. Smile 😊😝😊😝
Still, more coal power plants to be built 😂😂
Here's what ChatGPT has to say about Taiwan:"The "White Terror" in Taiwan refers to a period of political suppression and human rights abuses that occurred in Taiwan under the authoritarian rule of the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang or KMT) government from the late 1940s to the late 1980s. It was characterized by widespread government surveillance, arbitrary arrests, torture, imprisonment, and execution of individuals considered to be threats to the regime.
The White Terror era began after the KMT government relocated to Taiwan following their defeat by the Communist Party of China in the Chinese Civil War. The government, under the leadership of President Chiang Kai-shek, sought to consolidate its power and suppress any opposition or dissent. Initially targeting suspected communist sympathizers and independence activists, the scope of repression expanded to include intellectuals, students, journalists, and anyone perceived as a potential threat to the regime.
During this period, thousands of people were arrested, imprisoned, and executed, often without fair trials or due process. Martial law was imposed in 1949, and it lasted for 38 years, making it one of the longest periods of martial law in modern history. Civil liberties were severely curtailed, and censorship was pervasive. The government used surveillance, torture, and forced confessions to maintain control and instill fear among the population."
In other words: supporting the current (illegal) Taiwanese government is allowing the bad guys to win. The native Taiwanese en masse vote on parties who support reunification with China, but their numbers are so small that they'll never get what they desire. Nothing to say about the racism and humilation they have endured during those times. Go to Wiki and get lost in the many articles about how the Taiwanese natives were mistreated by these invaders.
Only Taiwan natives were real natives that were slaughtered by the Taiwanese who immigrated 200 years ago from China.. and why don't you chatgpt Japanese rule over Taiwan? Your way of creating division among taiwanese people will be the ultimate downfall of Taiwan. Shows it's just a majority mob rule vs a functioning democracy. Same as white Americans decided to get rid of black Americans because they are a minority.. get lost and Taiwan will lose support because your kind..
