Theo nhận định của các chuyên gia, ở Việt Nam, nguồn nước ngầm hiện nay đã và đang đứng trước nguy cơ cạn kiệt và ô nhiễm nghiêm trọng, ảnh hưởng đến an ninh nguồn nước và môi trường.
Nước ngầm, một cách gọi khác của “nguồn nước dưới đất”, là một dạng tài nguyên nước được phân bổ hoàn toàn dưới bề Trái Đất được tích trữ trong không gian rỗng của đất hay trong những khe nứt của lấp đất đá trầm tích. Ở Việt Nam hiện nay, việc khai thác nước ngầm đang diễn ra quá mức, và đang đứng trước nguy cơ bị cạn kiệt, cần được bảo vệ.

Abstract
China has emerged as a dominant maritime nation, with significant commercial and military influence across the world’s seas. Beijing has rapidly increased its investments in global port infrastructure, and the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has evolved from a coastal force to the world’s largest blue-water navy. Yet, China has just one official overseas naval base: a facility in Djibouti. In Harboring Global Ambitions: China’s Ports Footprint and Implications for Future Overseas Naval Bases, we scrutinize China’s options for establishing additional overseas naval bases. Leveraging a new dataset and additional research, we “follow the money” to identify the top 20 ports that have received the most official financing from China; analyze potential basing options ocean by ocean; and propose a shortlist of eight locations for future bases. Our accompanying dataset, China’s Official Seaport Finance Dataset, 2000-2021, tracks 123 seaport projects worth $29.9 billion financed by Chinese state-owned entities to construct or expand 78 ports in 46 countries. We argue that the potential for additional Chinese overseas naval bases has significant implications for global politics and requires cautious strategic responses from the West and developing countries.

The building scheme is part of an effort to become a “transportation power”

These are good times for local officials who want to build expensive infrastructure. To revive a flagging economy, battered by draconian pandemic-control measures, the central government is giving them freer rein. The southern province of Guangxi has a project that fits the bill: a canal costing $10.5bn that will link its main river system to the sea. It will involve a spree of demolition, digging, dredging and building over the next four and a half years. Mulled over for more than a century, the project began last month.
