Gansu, the poorest province in China, a province where "almost no one is living." Qinghai, Xinjiang... Same story. Together, they have almost 60 million people. Many of them are minorities with historically poor job prospects due to their distance from economic centers.

By building energy installations in the middle of the country, they're providing jobs to a group that's been left behind by the rapid industrialization of the country's East. Providing them with a surplus of electricity. Driving investment in the region. Moreover, this group of people is more than the population of New York and Texas... Combined.

How about you take your racism and your classism and shove it up your ass?

Truly the words 'racism' and 'classism' have lost all of their meaning nowadays. Well alright classism I might be to see in there if I squinted at it, but racism?

Dude thinks Chinese people aren't people. Provinces with a population that exceed some of the most populous states in America... "barely have any people"

I mean relatively speaking that's not alot compared to the other provinces in China. No reason to get pissy.

They're also poor and economically disadvantaged. Do you like keeping poor people poor? Jfc
