Six years after unveiling plans to build a 320-foot high dam and reservoir at Pacheco Pass in southern Santa Clara County, the largest water district in Silicon Valley still hasn’t found any other water agencies willing to help fund the project.
But this week, an unusual potential partner came to light: China.

Chinese businessman buying a 12,000 acre cattle ranch in California. What was Gavin’s cut?
Tell me at least one person has a few brain cells left, who
is in a position to toss a massive monkey wrench into this.
Sure why not? They are the future masters of California. Right?
Pave the Darien Gap and and put in a chain of Chinese restaurants and I’ll call myself impressed.
Under it, China also has helped fund some water projects, including dams in Cambodia, Laos and Pakistan. Some have had serious construction problems. The $2.7 billion Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric plant in Ecuador, finished in 2016, has been plagued with thousands of cracks and other major flaws.
In Pakistan, officials shut down the Neelum-Jhelum hydroelectric plant last year after detecting cracks in a tunnel that transports water through a mountain to drive a turbine, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It’s those dam Chinese again...
I thought dams were really bad for the environment, why does Santa Clara want to destroy the natural environment???
The entire West (aka left) Coast may as well be ceded to China.
For most of their sheeple it would make no difference.
They love “health mandates’.
They hate the red, white and blue.
They love being told what to do in most aspects of life.
I’m pretty sure the Democrat Party is owned by the Chinese Government
Rick Callender, the district’s CEO, said he had been approached by a local developer who offered to broker a deal in which “international governments” would pay some or all of the costs.
“They would probably sell the water to farmers, right?” said Jim Beall, a former state senator who was elected to the water district board last year.

Wow, the ChiComs take “ownership” of American waters and then deign to sell that water back to Americans at a (no doubt) exorbitant price. And, of course, 10% for the DemocRAT “Big Guys”.
They used one simple trick to build a new dam. Click here to see.
Why would the wealthiest county in the world need Chicoms to pay for a small dam?
BUT-—BUT-—Newsom is tearing down dams.
WHY is ANYONE from another country allowed to buy useful USA property ????
We don’t need a tofu dreg chinese dam here.
Number of acres of land owned by Americans in China...ZERO.
I imagine they could. The Chinese have a way of planning for their future.
And you won't believe what happened next!
Somebody wants to invest in California? LOLLOL You’re kidding, right?
