“Water is in everything, everywhere. So global water bankruptcy plus erratic water risks could impact everything, everywhere and worst still, all at once. Countries that don’t have holistic plans for water security in this new era of “Water B” will suffer greatly. China’s on it … its 15FYP clearly shows it’s prepping for “Water B” to ensure growth.”

Water is key to achieving a Beautiful China: “Fresh headway will be made in keeping our skies blue, waters clear, and lands clean.”
Water is a key ingredient of national security: “We will safeguard national security and social stability … to make critical infrastructure intrinsically safer … The development of a modern water network will be accelerated, and the support system for catastrophe insurance will be improved.”
