China fact of the day

…there are 100 gigawatts of "illegal" electric power plants in China,
meaning plants not approved by the central government. (The entire
nation of France uses 80 gigawatts of power. China uses 650 gigawatts.)

China sentence of the day is also a citation from Arnold Kling:

China’s central government has difficulty getting its constituencies to
change, and it is "outsourcing" some forms of regulation and governance
to the U.S. and international organizations.

China essay of the day is here.

Is this a good/bad day for anarcho-capitalists?

I wonder what the population of China would be today if Mao’s socialist policies towards agriculture didn’t lead to the death of millions of Chinese between 1959 and 1961.

It seems to me that considering that most of china is still in comparative dark ages relative to the west, that China’s government wouldn’t have a problem with more power plants (Which the government didn’t build, another bonus: they didn’t have to pay for them). The only problem i can see that would make these plants illegal would be if they didn’t meet the emissions requirements of the government, or perhaps if they hindered vital river flows. And if either of those is the case, does the Chinese government not have the ability to shut them down??
