China is a destructive outlier in the global energy arena. Fifty-five percent of its power still comes from coal, and 17 percent comes from hydroelectric dams that generate as much geostrategic conflict as they do power. On the other hand, China is attempting to lead the world in electric vehicles and nuclear power. So how does the Chinese Communist Party plan to keep this strategy moving forward as the country鈥檚 demands skyrocket?

For the inaugural episode of our new 鈥淚nsider Interviews,鈥� host Miles Yu is joined by Hudson Senior Fellow Thomas Duesterberg to provide answers from his report on China鈥檚 historical water struggles and solutions.  

Read Tom鈥檚 report, The Global Impact of China鈥檚 Water and Related Environmental Problems.
