I was watching CGTN documentary today morning and I must admit that Chinese Gov has bottomless money pits. There 38 MEGA ($10 Billion+) projects currently going on in China today. They range from entire new cities, Solar Energy, Offshore oil drilling, Long span 2KM sea bridges, High Speed rail extension.
USA has no chance aganist this Dragon from the East. Graph ya China is almost Vertical. I don’t like the Chinese but you gotta give credit where it is due

The country’s first 100-megawatt molten salt solar thermal power plant in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu province, has successfully generated power while operating at full capacity on Monday morning, Chinanews.com reported.
Nearly 20 hours of operating records on Monday show the systems at the power plant have been normal and stable. The facility also set a new record by generating over 1.8 million kilowatt-hours of power day and night, with all indicators suggesting it has reached or exceeded its designed values. This marks another important step after the plant created 1.67 million kWh of power over 34 hours of continuous operations in mid-April.

China has approved construction of one of its tallest dams, a 239-metre (784-foot) hydroelectric structure on the upstream section of its longest river, the Yangtze
The reservoir of the Lawa hydroelectric project will submerge nearly 12 sq miles (31 sq km) of forest and farmland on the Jinsha branch of the Yangtze on the border between Sichuan and Tibet.
The project is envisaged to eventually consist of four turbines with a total capacity of 2,000 megawatts (2 gigawatts).

CHINA National Railway (CR) has increased the number of trains it operates per day by 2.7% and introduced new high-speed services with the start of its new timetable on April 10.
The total number of trains operating per day has risen by 130 per direction to 4970.5 per direction across the national network. CR says it has also optimised the capacity of its freight services to meet demand.
CR says the opening of the high-speed line linking Beijing with Zhangjiakou, Hohhot, and Datong on December 30 2019 has been successful with strong demand. CR is now operating 44 round trips per day, with seven additional services per direction at weekends and 19 extra trains during peak periods.
CR is taking advantage of the completion of the triangular high-speed network linking Chengdu, Chongqing and Guiyang to introduce a new East Sichuan – Chongqing – Guizhou service. The train will run three times per day and will take around eight hours to complete the full circuit.
