Even researchers from China’s Tsinghua University and China’s Transport Planning and Research Institute have warned and published a review in the journal Water in November 2024 examining how ship canals affect ecosystems worldwide. They found that,
large canals can reshape wetland hydrology, foul water quality, damage plant communities, disrupt animal populations, and open pathways for invasive species.
Science published an article, China’s canal project threatens biodiversity, warning about devastating consequences for wildlife and the wider ecosystem.
There are many similar reports questioning this project, but the article ignores them completely.
This is another example why we should not post content from media outlets like the SCMP as they are subordinate to China’s propaganda machinery. In that particular case, the article even refers to the “state-run Securities Times.”

This is not a reliable source imo.
