The China Daily said that workers in central China have fished about 4,100 tons of rubbish out of the Three Gorges Dam reservoir in just six days as the trash threatened to jam up the massive structure.

The Yangtze River in China is 40 million years older than was previously thought, according to new research.

China’s controversial Three Gorges dam project has displaced 1.27 million people, as the government continues with its development, according to a state media report.

According to a senior Chinese official, China is planning to build a wind farm in its northwest region that will generate as much energy as Three Gorges Dam by 2020.
