China’s Great Dam Reversal: 300 Demolished, 340 Hydropower Plants Gone

"300 China Dams Collapse in a Chain Reaction as 340 Hydropower Plants Are Wiped Out. Yes — over 300 dams dismantled almost consecutively, and more than 340 hydropower stations taken offline. But this isn’t the result of a natural disaster, nor the aftermath of war. It is China itself demolishing structures once celebrated as symbols of national ambition. Why would a country that once built dams at lightning speed now turn around and tear them down just as quickly? What is buried beneath this astonishing reversal?
In recent days, social media across China has been buzzing with claims and footage of widespread dam removals nationwide. The scale is shocking. Yet the official explanation is even more unexpected: these demolitions are not for flood-control upgrades, and not to pave the way for a new megaproject — they’re part of a sweeping effort to restore damaged ecosystems. Few saw this coming.
