Depends what you count as China; the Yangtze, Yellow River and Mekong all originate in Tibet. They're probably the primary reason why China is so absolutely adamant that Tibet is and has always been part of China; losing that water would represent an existential threat.
And why China sees global warming as such a huge problem.
I imagine the OP means the Mekong
