Ok we thank the chinese for releasing the waters after they choke the river. Sure, we thank them otherwise our kids will starve to death.

 

[Song Hong]

Not just releasing. Meking delta is prone to flooding. So China is keeping flood water. When drought come, Vietnam ask China to release water. China is doing it.

Ok we thank the chinese for releasing the waters after they choke the river. Sure, we thank them otherwise our kids will starve to death.

So look like Thailand and Vietnam are under China custody now...........

Hey the US gives hundreds millions USD, but nothing compared to China. Chinese give us since 18 years „free“ hydrological data. thanks China we know that will rain in summer snow in winter. Thanks God they don’t charge us with money.

China MoF spokesman Wang Wenbin states that "China only contributes 13.5% of Mekong Water". China has limited significance on the water level of Mekong.

第二，国际科学界和湄委会对澜沧江上游水电站的作用已有公论。中国澜沧江水电站“雨季蓄洪、旱期放水”，有助于维持湄公河旱季流量。此外，澜沧江径流量仅占湄公河全流域水量的13.5%，其出境水量对湄公河水量整体影响十分有限。在这个问题上，美方有关人士应当加强学习，而不是发表违背科学结论和常识的奇谈怪论。

Other research paper stated that China contribute 16% of Mekong water, but this is almost similar to the 13.5% that China MoF claimed.

When Vietnam in drought, she beg China. Despite having very little catchment, China release the water for Vietnam.

Why beg China? Why not beg Laos? Lao contribute to most catchment.

Reason is China has a lot of dam while Laos has not so much. So only China can help. Lao cannot help.

No thank you note from this PDF @Viet guy.

You do realize that the dams are inside China, do you?
You don't have **** saying here.

For the fact that China establish the Mekong River Commission and release water under Vietnam and other countries' request shows pure goodwill to you!

Do you know what does India do to Bangladesh in same situation for example?

Chinese dams on the Mekong have increased average water levels of the Mekong during the dry season. You should thank China.

Also, China only account for 16-18% of Mekong inflows and Chinese dams are not used for irrigation. The issues of Mekong are due to over development and irrigation from the lower states.

 

[Song Hong]

Got an English resource stating China contribute merely 16% of Mekong water. Laos is 35%. The best thing China can contribute to humanity is to sponsor dam building in Laos.

In pic2, we see that China Mekong is in mountain region. Hence China cannot draw a lot of water from Mekong unless it divert it to plains.

Experts and leaders in ASEAN knew this fact very well, but they allow USA and NGO to stir. FCUK the USA and NGO dogs.

China should reminded SEA how the America killed more than 10% of the population in bombing SEA during the war. America can create disorder in the region and run back to their own country to let the native sort out the mess. SEA and China will be neighbors forever. Pompeo and American politicians have no interest in the region aside from creating conflict.

The Lancang River basin in China covers an area of 167,000 square kilometers, accounting for 20.6% of the total basin area, and the annual average runoff is 16%; the basin area in Myanmar is 21,000 square kilometers, accounting for 2.6% of the total, and the runoff is 2%; in Laos The drainage area is 215,000 square kilometers, accounting for 26.5% of the total, and the runoff is 35%; the drainage area in Thailand is 182,000 square kilometers, accounting for 22.4% of the total, and the runoff is 18%; the drainage area in Cambodia is 161,000 square kilometers, accounting for 19.9%, the runoff accounted for 18%; the drainage area in Vietnam was 65,000 square kilometers, accounting for 8%, and the runoff accounted for 11%.

In other words, the upper reaches of China only accounted for 16% of the Mekong River's multi-year average runoff, ranking fourth among the six countries in the Mekong River Basin. Laos, accounting for 35%, is the largest water source of the Mekong River. Thailand and Cambodia are also higher than China.

the upper reaches of China only accounted for 16%
Some Western media spread rumors, and some Vietnamese with low IQ believe these rumors.

We welcome the Amreica invests money in the south Peninsula for developing. Hope this time the invest is real, as to past experiences, most america investment are the oral promise. After they got the geopolitics goal, they just forgot the money payment.
