@MFA_ China:  1. The hydro-power facilities in China are largely beneficial for #Mekong countries. Experts have found that after China's cascade reservoirs were put into use, dry-season flows of relevant sections increased by 20% compared to past natural levels.
2. China has made great efforts in Lancang-Mekong water resources cooperation. China has provided flood-season hydrological data for flood prevention&disaster mitigation for 18yrs, and sent emergency notifications on major changes in outflow of Jinghong hydro-power plant 10+ times.
3. The so-called report cited by #Stilwell ignores facts. For example, it accuses China of holding back 280bln cubic meters of water, while the largest Chinese reservoir upstream can only store no more than 42bln cubic meters of water. One should be cautious when citing the report.
