I think China should not object to these comparisons because it just raises the bar for China to do better. IMO it's a compliment. Better than comparing on metrics that are advantageous to China just to feel good.

Chairman Yan Zhiyong of Power Construction Corporation discusses plans for 60,000 megawatts hydroelectric dam(s) in Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. This development is a part of China's 14th five year plan. 60,000 megawatts is roughly three times the power generated by the Three Gorges Dam.

I want to see China invest in diverting flood waters from the south to the north/central. Those floods are costly, and there's plenty of desert that can be watered up there.

Life is getting better after moving from "Cliff village"
Villagers from Atulie'er Village, also known as the "cliff village" in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China's Sichuan Province, embraced a new life in SW China after moving into their new home in Zhaojue County this May. And how does villagers' life change after moving out of 'cliff village'? Join us and check it out.

Yes but that requires a major canal which will be too expensive to build because of terrain and will probably damage Tibet's fragile environment. Also I've seen Uyghur posters on Zhihu attesting that the bottleneck of argiculture in South Xinjiang isn't water.
Map of Yarlung Tsangpo, the Grand Canyon is the U-turn right before the river leaves China. You can see it's between two mountain ranges and very far from Xinjiang.
I'm talking Gobi desert, they're trying to build a green wall to prevent desertification/dust storms, might as well use flood waters to instantly greenify that area.
Hi localizer,
I read that Terraforming the Gobi desert , they need aside from water the micro-organism and soil macro fauna. Square straw technique is the foundation to hold the sand, so if the rain do come it will slide down the sand thru the straw not overflow it is the first step. The second step is to plant trees and shrubs, even if the tree and shrubs dies it will become the basis for nutrient the soil needed for its rejuvenation and third continue the process until the soil is revitalize. Its an arduous process only the Chinese had the temerity to embark upon. Cause it affect the national interest and its people survival.
I think the LOESS PLATEAU success cannot be replicated in the Gobi, It need a different kind of strategy and technique to make it green. 7 desert in China each have their own sets of problem and solution. It's a challenge, but one by one it is being solve with science at it's core and the ingenuity of the Chinese researcher and scientist.

Macau has higher per capita GDP than the US.
They need to use more of their own currencies among the RCEP countries. The trade going around among these countries will be big.The RCEP probably will decrease the use of dollars in the long term.
Which currency the RCEP will use for trade within the block, that is never mentioned in American media.
