China has immense frackable gas fields, if the price is right - which it isn't currently.

China is already the world's largest exporter of human corneas, kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs and tendons harvested from live Falun Gong members. - thedailybeast.com

China has 1.3 billion potential transplant donors, so there's no problem finding a compatible HLA match.

solar cell is a widget that destines the high volume producers to make more costing less as cumulative production goes up, especially when the cumulative first slopes upward per linear function, followed on by parabolic, eventuate hyperbolic, and evolve to be exponential, and asymptotic exponential

quietly, even in face of trade sanctions and such, both china domestic adoption of solar and export ramp of solar doing better each year, allowing for ever faster dropping of cost and ramping of efficiency, at the production as well as the energy conversion levels

now, to 2017, 80% of the world's population shall achieve china-enabled grid parity, and the parity shall be 100% by 2020

starting in 2020, GOD parity shall be enabled by china, whereby the cost of rooftop solar generation shall be less expensive than just about all centralized power generation methods (coal, gas, hydro, utility-scale solar)

there is no reason why urban / rural electricity cannot be 100% solar, along w/ a good portion of highway vehicles and all trains, as well as ships, and even some types of planes

as i had always contended, imperatives give rise to solutions

the ever-more-cumulative-volume-for-always-less-cost equation works well also for LED lights and electric cars, both of which go well w/ solar everything

consequences?

w/ essentially free electricity, the ocean under xinjiang, that which is refilled by nourishment run off from tibet can be desalinated (what ocean? this ocean ibtimes.co.uk "Vast hidden 'ocean' found under Chinese desert"

... and free electricity can power a lot of manufacturing as well as electrify agriculture. all good.

the sun, together with pebble this fool.com and thorium that iags.org would enable china to export energy by way of manufacturing modules and installing such anywhere to everywhere

given the simultaneous energy equations, together w/ the funding dimensions, and joined w/ the belt and road that would facilitate the grand unification of eurasia and africa, the econosphere that would be impossible without technology becomes not only possible but likely, imo
