The majority of the Chinese populace is concentrated in the eastern coastal cities while the interior regions remain sparsely populated, posing infrastructural and logistics issues. The country's sheer landmass has necessitated unique solutions, notably construction of the world's largest fibre optic network spanning 130,000 villages and a regional broadband project achieving 100% population coverage. Equally impressive is the development of a nationwide high-speed rail network, demonstrating China's advanced engineering capacity. Specific attention is given to renewable energy, with China emerging as a global leader in solar panel manufacturing and installation. However, issues persist like pollution from rapid industrialisation and managing waste from tech manufacturing. In response, China has implemented stringent policies and incentives promoting green technology and sustainable practices within the industry.
