China has ghost cities with empty apartment buildings. They have tons of resources to waste.

What’s the point? For the drink?

I’d guess for ethanol based fuels?

the point is leaving more food on the table that would otherwise be used for ethanol production.

Too bad the SCMP conveniently doesn’t link any research materials or evidence of this ‘vital’ energy production plan.
My bet is another bullshit project led by scammers. Just like that enormously retarded energy storage plan

China is able to pivot quickly on projects of enormous scale in part due to its political structure. I doubt many western countries would pivot so quickly and drastically for national interests in whatever you call this version of capitalism.

It’s not efficiency that makes people prefer democracy.

It’s funny how this image built of China to discredit anything they do leads a whole bunch of people online to just completely make stuff up on the spot against any positive news. When it comes to the point that a whole bunch of people are just making stuff up on the spot, we know how efficient the propaganda has been.
