Turkey stays away from China’s Belt and Road summit citing debt-trap diplomacy and Uighur concerns

One thing you can not accuse Chinese of , is being rude. They are very courteous towards people from other countries.

Just look at how China sent super powerful deputy mayor to welcome PM IK. Such respect towards PM of "higher than Himalaya, deeper than ocean and sweeter than honey" friend !

Nope, the picture shared is pretty much self explanatory. Barring a few prefectures/townships most of the said areas are barren and inhospitable to the inhabitants. You can't expect those few areas with negligible population to make a significant mark on a satellite based photo. Yes, you can harness the resources of those areas or use them for strategic purposes but the fact remains that more than half of China's landmass remains mostly uninhabitable, unlike India's.

I still believe detailed figures released by global institutions are a better measurement than a random picture downloaded on the internet.

40 something leaders came to Beijing just for BRI forum, not on a state visit, China sent no one to receive Russian president Putin when he arrived either.

detailed figures based on false data from a regime no one respects

OK, your pictures are more reliable than US institutions, maybe none of them are reliable. Your pictures are as reliable as your profile flags.

Tibet -- 1,228,400 km2
Xinjiang -- 1,664,897 km2
Qinghai -- 720,000 km2
Average population density-- less than 20/km² compared to your national average of 150/km²

India's total landmass -- 3,287,263 km2

As you can see, China has an area exceeding India's landmass with less than one-seventh your average population that lives in desert like climactic conditions. And i am not even taking other areas like Inner Mongolia into consideration.

You can't expect these areas to light up on a satellite based image like your population centres in Fujian, Hunan or Liaoning. This is not about any parameter like per capita electricity consumption or lack of development. Just that those areas are not suited for human settlements.

That's why I said that those pictures don't reflect the true facts of country's electricity consumption, China consumes over a third of the total global electricity but looks like an outright third world country in those pictures.

I agree, and your point of view is absolutely correct but you can't expect those areas to light up on a map when there aren't many people living there. It is only through engineering marvel that you have been able to build infrastructure in those desolate areas.

Something that the Indian government has finally woken up to and we now see accelerated infra building in our north east India.

the satellite pictures can be made by any satellite. you are free to post images of North Korea from a Chinese satellite

BRI = Project of "Peace"

And the moment when the "peace" kicks in you will wish you never agreed to it = say bye bye to your ports, railways for a very long time...

Are you talking about permanent Western military bases in Turkey?

per capita electricity consumption

Korea, North 153

India 128

Just found out that per capita wise North Korea is higher than India, that further proved the US based global hunger report.

Consumption in Sri Lanka is 56 per capita. Does it mean North Korea is better than Sri Lanka on an economic scale?

Datas from countries like China and North Korea should be taken with a pinch of salt.

North Korea can be economically better than Sri lanka, data from countries like India should be taken with a ton of salt. In China you see progress aross the board on the ground, in India you see little happening other than big growth number on paper.

you can decide who has more food and more energy

Why not? NK has only 20m people (less than Shanghai/Beijing), with Pyongyang as its major population center.

People dress neatly and streets are clean, at least in Pyongyang.
