Infinite money does not lead to infinite scale in zero time. China’s nuclear industry is robust and growing, as is their solar and wind industry. Money can’t be wasted if you’re already tapped out on growth in other avenues.
This year, China deployed more solar panels than the entirety of all solar panels in the US.

I don’t really like how HRW does their reporting tbh. It basically consists of “here’s some random Chinese article that suggests something that they might do, which, because China is a single-party state, MUST describe what they do” coupled with “here are some sources from US-funded parties detailing what they claim to be happening in China.”
It’s not a question of whether their statements are accurate, but it’s a question of whether they’ve provided enough evidence to make those statements.
That’s actually not how modern China gained territory. The settlements in Xinjiang were explicitly designed to not step on the traditional Uyghur economic/cultural center of Kashgar. Instead, settlement surrounded Urumqi, a place that used to be a backwater of backwaters (the name meaning “beautiful pasture”). Even today, Kashgar and it’s surrounding areas are majority Uyghur (by far), while Urumqi is majority Han.
Privatization is such a waste of taxpayer money. You spend all those resources developing domestic capability and then sell it off to the highest bidder for a short-term cash infusion.
