I wonder where they get the water from.

I used to live in Washington State, by damming the rivers that flow through eastern WA, and collecting the waters flowing easterly of the Cascade Mountains, they have turned desert into farmland. But, in WA, they have gravity on their side, and I wonder how the Chinese get water from where it is plentiful to where it is scarce.

an african who started to plant trees to stop the desert & now a forest. an indian who wanted new generations to enjoy the fruits he did. created a forest. a woman who planted trees. pretty sure the inca did similar at machu pichu.

but does show china is INVESTING in technologies, the moron wants to mine coal......
