At this moment, let go of the things you don't want to care about when you're unhappy, and enjoy your happy time
An American netizen asked such a question on Quora, the largest Q&A website abroad: "Why do only 20 million people in China have electricity at home?"
This remark also aroused heated discussions among netizens from all over the world: "First, China's positive propaganda is not enough, and second, it fully proves the hypocrisy of the West's blockade of information", "China does not even have electricity, how can it become the biggest threat to the United States?" "Other Chinese who do not use electricity are all immortal cultivators", "You don't believe it when you say it, China's electricity miracle: electricity consumption exceeds the amount of electricity generated by more than 200 billion kWh".
China has a population of 1.4 billion, and the figure of 20 million has long been unknown to what year and month it is, and it is really idle to use this data to slander China now, because the popularization of electricity in China has reached the point where every household and town knows about it, and for China, the popularization of electricity is as easy as breathing.
There are even many answers that make people feel that they are very pertinent: "China has everything except for war", "You can ask why the United States has only one million people to live in".
A Chinese netizen directly said the crux of the problem: "This American netizen's question seems naïve, but in fact, the amount of information China conveys to the outside world is not large enough, not only an American, but also many foreigners do not understand China." In particular, countries that are unfriendly to China will not convey China's positive energy in their own countries, or even smear China.
It is true that Americans have not made this statement about China once or twice, but it has been extremely difficult for China to get to this point, even when it comes to the closest electricity to life.
China Electric Power began in 1882, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the development of China's electric power was relatively slow, and it was also in that year that some British businessmen raised silver and established China's first electric power company, Shanghai Electric Company, on Nanjing Road in Shanghai at that time.
At that time, only two cities, Paris and London, could be illuminated with the support of electricity, which also represents the proof that China has entered the synchronization of the times at that time.
Since 1901, many overseas Chinese have begun to operate private power plants, which can be regarded as the progress of China's electric power history.
Before the start of the Xinhai Revolution, there were a total of 80 power plants in China, with a total capacity of 37,000 kilowatts of power generation equipment at that time, and after the War of Resistance Against Japan, the annual power generation was directly as high as 4.45 billion kilowatts, which ranked 14th in the world.
After the Japanese invasion of China, the development of China's electric power entered a period of suspension, but after the fall of Northeast China at that time, the Japanese soon began to monopolize Northeast electric power, and also lured a large number of Chinese workers at that time into power construction, the scale of Chinese workers at that time, in a power station established by the Japanese as high as more than 200,000 people, which shows the atrocities of the Japanese at that time.
Due to the subsequent all-round occupation of Japan, China's large equipment undoubtedly fell into the hands of these invaders, which also made China's power experience unprecedented disasters, but in the face of such dangerous conditions, the Chinese people still use wooden boats to transfer thousands of tons of power equipment during the war, and the situation at that time can only rely entirely on manpower to retain a little hope of China's power.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China ushered in the "dawn" of electricity, and in the "First Five-Year Plan" implemented at that time, it also allowed China to develop rapidly on the road of industrialization.
It is precisely because of the implementation of the "First Five-Year Plan" that the development of electric power has also rapidly formed the basic form of the industrial system of New China, after which China Electric Power has started a difficult evolutionary process.
Those American netizens who say that China only has 20 million people using electricity seem to have a different view of China, which has been the world's largest power generation in the world since 2011, and has since become the world's largest power country.
After China succeeded in winning the world's first throne, it was not proud for the first time, anyway, let China's electric power industry officially go abroad, and also helped some foreign countries with backward technology to carry out the layout of the power grid many times.
When it comes to the power situation of China and the United States, China once ranked first in the world with 29% of the world's total power generation, while the United States, as the world's largest superpower, only accounted for 15.99% of the power generation, ranking second, as a model of developed countries, in terms of power generation.
This achievement also proves that China is strong in the power sector, and that China's achievements in electricity as a developing country can achieve now also prove that China's demand for electricity will also increase in the future.
Of course, this is not the first time that the United States has questioned China's development, since the American people are so confident, why as a superpower, power generation can only rank second in the world.
But asking this kind of question is more about the disapproval and discrimination against China, which once only took a few decades to show itself in front of the world's second largest economy in front of the world, and its strength is second only to the United States.
Whether this American netizen is just asking a question or asking a question when there is discrimination against China, it can only prove that he is shallow-minded, and it is nothing more than a joke in various countries, and many Chinese netizens also actively expressed their opinions after seeing it:
"Because Americans always look at the world as they are, there are too many homeless people in the United States", "There is no right to speak without investigation and research", "China's State Grid has illuminated the world", "There are too many problems behind this problem, and the information lag effect is too great."
Even if American netizens deliberately ask, it doesn't matter, China has already gone from the lights of the stars to the lights of thousands of homes, and China has long since taken off the hat of poverty.
