One of our fellow Chinese members here is from Zhengzhou, but I can't remember which one he is.

I remember you are from Shanghai though. Same as @ChineseTiger1986.

Hey, megacity trolls and costal trolls and Canton/Shanghai trolls in PDF, don't u think inland small cities should be the biggest concern?

Those anti-China experts call the new district in Zhengzhou "ghost town", only we know how much we need them, how many locals need an apartment and how many high-tech companies need offices. I've been there, so prosperous， new energy, high-tech innovation, logistics, and that gigantic Zhengzhou East Railway Station! A major tech&transport hub in central China.

True, brother! We all don't believe those BS report, it could be empty at the very beginning because it's new district, but now it's quite crowed. As you said, all the top companies from home and abroad established their headquarter or region center there. I really appreciate that, hope you enjoy your stay in Zhengzhou! Are you from Wuhan? I've been there many times since very young, rapid development taking place every year, now it's different from my old memory, very beautiful and magnificent!

Wuhan's Optics Valley (Donghu New Technology Development Zone)
They called it Ghost City years ago
Just let them laugh, now it has 2 million residents, more than 50 universities and colleges, 1 million students at school, 71 national sci-tech research institutes, enormous patents and innovation every single day.

Yep, from Wuhan. Central China and western China are the future of China, only costal regions are developed not enough. My CRH trip from Shanghai back to Wuhan
When I was a kid, I traveled with my calligraphy teacher and classmates to Luoyang, Henan Province. It was a horrible overnight train journey, no A/C, over-crowed. But now, 2 hours to Zhengzhou, 3 hours to Luoyang by HSR! The progress is sometimes overwhelming!!!

Nice ! Hope to visit Wuhan next time! Wuhan's technology power is definitely top 5 in China. Can't agree more with you, only coastal region to be developed is not enough, central and west China need more attention, Wuhan, Nanchang, Changsha and Zhengzhou have more potential growth, I believe.

Hey, Shenzhen troll from Northeastern China, can we keep an eye on western China?

CPC greatest infra-structure build up that will impact China for thousands of years are

1. South–North Water Transfer Project (East Route)

2. South–North Water Transfer Project (Central Route)

South North Water Transfer enable Northern China proper farming 华北 to be industrialize. S China has water but its not suitable for large scale industrial farming as it is mountainous. Northern China is flat but rainfall is a little low and evaporation rate is too high.

3. 3 gorge dam and Yangtze cascade dam complexes

The best thing about 3 gorge dam is not generating power, but solving the flooding issue of Yangtze permanently. It turn Chongqing, 1000km inland from sea, into among world busiest port.

4. HSR

5. Taming of Yellow river.

Yellow river flooding kill millions. Now, Yellow river has not have serious flooding for 30 years. In reality yellow river is running short of water, as all waters are diverted to irrigation.

CPC feat since for the past 35 years are nothing short of miracle.

I have some doubts on water transfer projects. People in the north are deficient in water, which means their land can not support more migration. These water projects make my province(Hubei) suffer from some environmental issues. For the remaining, I have not problems, even the three gorge dam leads to fierce controversies.
btw, your HSR photo, no Chinese railway or CRH logo on the train

To allow Chinese to live comfortably, there is a need to mechanize and automate agriculture, just like the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps are doing now. The PLA farms are far far more productive than the Uighur farms or even the private farmers' farm in China proper.

Reason being, the small farmers have no capital and their productivity is low.

It is good many of these farmers move into city and when rural population get smaller, the land can be aggregated into cooperative (idea solution) or bought by industrial conglomerate (may be bad idea), or run by PLA style Bingtuan.

With water flowing from South, large scale industrial farming is possible. Its better for Northern China to have water than to let it flow to the sea.

This is my speculation, and I am open to discussion. I am not a agri expert.
