India questions China's Yarlung Zangbo dam
India also brought up concerns about China's massive planned dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River (called the Brahmaputra in India), which could be the world's biggest hydropower project.
There are worries about how this might affect communities downstream, so India asked for more details from China and pushed for expert talks to keep things transparent.
