Focusing on hydropower

Reiterating hydropower as a "clean and renewable" source of energy and stressing the country's ambitious plans to further tap the resource, director of the newly organized State Energy Bureau, Zhang Guobao, also expressed at an industry forum concern over the "demonizing" from overseas of the country's efforts to exploit its rich hydropower reserves.

We believe these concerns are unnecessary.

We would rather our decision-makers forget about such noise and stay focused on their jobs. If there are people determined to demonize the country, they will always find excuses to say whatever they like.
