China is blighting millions of Southeast Asians by choking the Mekong River. It refuses to join the four neighbors’ Mekong River Commission (MRC). When China tested equipment on just one of the 11 hydroelectric plants in January-March 60 million Southeast Asians ran out of potable and irrigation water. The Mekong springs from the Tibetan plateau, as do eight other mighty rivers to South and Southeast Asia, and China. Illegally they also assert sovereignty over the entire South China Sea.
