Beijing: China has launched an investigation into the Yong’an Hydropower Project in Fujian province after major security violations were discovered. Investigators found substandard construction materials and unsafe building practices.
The project, budgeted at 7.5 billion yuan, aims to strengthen regional power supply. However, structural issues were identified that could jeopardize the safety of the entire dam. The Power Construction Corporation of China has announced a special probe. The project began in December last year.
