🇨🇳 Arnaud Bertrand on X: It's done: China just launched the construction of the Yarlung Tsangpo dam project
It'll be by far the world’s largest hydroelectric facility, generating 3 times more electricity than the Three Gorges dam, 300 billion kilowatt-hours.
This dam project alone could power almost a quarter (21.6%) of all US households, since the average U.S. household consumes about 10,500 kilowatthours (kWh) of electricity per year and there are 132 million households in the US.
It could also power the entirety of France and Italy COMBINED, since the average electricity consumption in France is 2 223 kWh per person per year, the scale is almost too unfathomable to believe.
Fascinatingly, part of the plan, as per China's “Eastern Data, Western Computing” initiative, might be AI
It's not only that the dam project will generate immense amounts of electricity that can be used for computing, but also the fact that it's located in naturally cold Tibet with close to freezing water temperature - perfect to cool down data centers for free.
As Keji Mao - who worked as a Research Fellow at the powerful NDRC (the top organization for China's economic planning and policymaking) - puts it: "China will transform industrial capacity into electricity, electricity into computational power, and computational power into ever higher levels of advanced productivity."

THE FIRST PHASE OF THE GAZA DEAL IS ONLY ONE PART OF A MUCH BIGGER PLAN
President Trump’s plan for Gaza — which is actually a derivative of his broader strategy to reshape the Middle East, prepared in cooperation with Prime Minister Netanyahu over several years — includes several key components.
Equally important is when each stage will take place (if at all) and what each one depends on.
Here’s how it is structured:
⸻
Stage A – Immediate
1. Release of the hostages in exchange for the release of convicted terrorists, an Israeli withdrawal to the 53% line, and the introduction of humanitarian aid.
⸻
Stage B – Following the Implementation of Stage A
This stage begins immediately afterward and may be prolonged — or even stalled — later on.
Several moves will occur simultaneously and are not dependent on one another:
1. Hamas must lay down its arms, renounce terrorism, and its members will then receive pardons allowing them to leave for another country. They will not take part in managing the ...
Four more Orthodox churches forcibly seized in Ukraine since late September

The Ukrainian state and schismatic-nationalists continue their campaign of persecution against the Orthodox Church. Hundreds of churches have been violently overtaken over the past few years, often with clergy and the faithful being left broken and bloody.
