If you don't like the forced relocations, then you should like the plan to bulldoze hills in Lanzhou rather than more fertile areas. Because anywhere more fertile, those hills would have many people living on each one, probably terrace-farming the hillsides.

That's the thing with various complaints about China. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't. They have less resources than we do, more people, and a history of non-expansionism and they're doing the best with what they have. Why all the complaining?
