To put it into perspective, Japan put into operation of the world first high speed railway, The Shinkansen, in 1964. Now China adds one Japan's total high speed railway network every year.

That is insane. China's landmass lends it to having a good blend of climates.

No, they have a very strong northeastern accent, and somehow most Chinese from the rest of China think their accent is kind of funny and will just make people laugh whatever they say, so their accent is almost becoming a standard comedian accent. China's best well known comedians are almost all from that region.

Xinjiang's Tarim River diverted and channeled to nurture world's largest desert poplar forest
Xinhua | Updated: 2020-08-17 16:31
URUMQI - The Tarim River in the southern part of Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, also China's longest inland river, has been diverted to flow across the world's largest desert poplar forest as part of an ecological restoration campaign.
The sluices along the Tarim River are being opened gradually during the high-water season to channel water across some 15 million mu (about 1 million hectares) of desert poplar forest in the river's basin.
This is the fifth year for the ecological restoration project designed to nurture the drought-resistant plant that serves as a major greening force in south Xinjiang's deserts.
A total of nearly 8.2 billion cubic meters of water has flowed into the forest since 2016, and another inflow of 1.86 billion cubic meters of water is expected this year.
The region is seeing marked increases in vegetation and waterfowl. The biological diversity had almost doubled in the river's downstream area in the past four years, data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences showed.
