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.
China can CLAIM to pivot quickly on projects, but it is always for show, and most of the funding ends up in pockets of corrupt officials.
The projects end up abandoned and swept under the rug, or end up in failure but reported as successful only to mysteriously never be heard about again.
Source?
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.
A large hammer can drive a nail twice as fast, but it will also mar the wood.
Project 2025 -esque
What a waste of time,money, and resources
China has ghost cities with empty apartment buildings. They have tons of resources to waste.
Tell me you're living half a decade in the past without telling me. "Ghost cities" are actually areas where the state preplanned urbanization so everything would be in place when people started moving in. In fact, most of these "ghost cities" are actually populated now.

Edit: could someone please explain why I'm being downvoted? I've provided a source to back up my statements. Or is this a case of "everything about China is bad because Red Scare"?
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
