When I was driving in Xinjiang I saw this thing on the horizon and thout it was an inland sea. It was only as I drove nearer that it resolved into solar panels, but even then the illusion that it was actually a body of water continued. I swear it took 20-30 minutes to drive past.
Of course this pales in comparison to the literal forests of wind farms that cover huge swathes of Xinjiang and which take hours to drive past and consist of the biggest wind turbines I’ve ever seen.
The green energy infrastructure in Xinjiang is genuinely one of the most jaw dropping things I’ve ever seen in my life. Possibly the most.
Be genuinely honest, what did it seem like for the local uguyrs? Do you think the west interpretation of what’s going on there true or an exaggeration?
There’s a channel on YouTube named Little Chinese Everywhere who was in Xinjiang about a year ago. You can see what life is like on the ground there for people in her videos.
