This is a collection of analyses, essays and interviews with prominent Chinese intellectuals, experts and politicians who are opposed to the massive and environmentally questionable project to dam the Yangtze River. The largest hydroelectric project of its kind, it will generate 17,500 MW of electricity, displace over 1 million people, create a lake over 450 miles long, and probably silt up in a few years. The book was first distributed in early 1989, but was promptly suppressed after Tiananmen Square and the author put under house arrest. This is the first time it has been available in translation outside China.
