An ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission experiment is carried out at minus 20 C at an experimental base of the State Grid Electric Power Research Institute, Jan 9, 2011. The experiment base is a leader in doing 12 UHV-related experiments in the world. In order to link major energy production bases with the nation's power-guzzling regions to ensure power supply, State Grid Corp of China announced in last August that it will build a network of ultra-high-voltage lines in northern, eastern and central China by 2015.[Photo/Asianewsphoto]

China's accomplishments speak for themselves. Chinese never brag about their accomplishments. In fact, most Chinese don't even believe China will ever become a Superpower, even if she is at the cusp of Superpower-status, Chinese will continue to deny it.

Unlike snobby Koreans, they brag about literally everything. It comes from their inferiority complex of course.

lol damn it guys

I consistently catch Chinese media and Chinese people for doing exact things or more they criticize Koreans of doing. Plenty of Chinese media brags about China's break throughs and this and that. Most Chinese I've met brags about how China will take over the world.
Most Chinese I've met insists everything came from China even golf and Spagetti. Chinese I've met even insist all Asians were spawn from China.

You have your POV. But don't think it's any holier than others. That's a Chinese proverb you should learn. Be respectful to others and you'll earn respect. Simple truth.

lol @ the trolls. give it up already, not fooling anyone by pretending to be chinese, microtroll.

they should be very careful with handling of high-voltage grid due to a forthcoming solar storm that probably coming in 2012. it will be one of biggest solar storm in earth's history.

[ClassicalMusic]

That will help out with China's electricity distribution. Awesome!

is the world gonna end? i hear birds have been dropping dead in the US =[

lol naw, but there would be major disruption to electrical power grid since solar storm is a level 3 EMP.

[orange peel]

maybe that level 3 EMP is gonna turn on a secret DARPA skynet

what do you mean?

I am pretty sure China is secretly developing something like HAARP along side of those UHV, good job China

[Think]

The UHV technology is supplied by ABB, so i think the title is a bit misleading. However, it's nice to see China progressing so rapidly. The market potential is huge.

[avisitor]

UHV technology maybe good in some ways ...
But, with much more power transmitted over on fewer lines,
the impact resulting from losing a line is much higher.

There are other dangers in advancing too fast
And, without the proper precautions

Bragging is considered horrible and repulsive in most cultures. I have always wondered whether it is socially acceptable to brag in some societies / cultures.

uh, definitely not american

Rabid and blind nationalism knows no boarders or creed. China will be 2X more nationalistic now and will be 10X more nationalistic then anyone.
Partly because of sudden growth in economic powers giving it more prominence. And part of it is to hold the vast territories and people together.
Nationalism is a weapon. A corrosive and destructive then any weapons out there.

how can you quantify nationalism to give a definite conclusion that will happened somewhere in the future?

[ktoast]

Not all Americans are from the Jersey Shore. Bragging is bad taste.

You're right, nationalism is ugly. I hope future Chinese will not look down on those that are less fortunate than them. By all means love your country, but feeling superior to others just because you were born there is retarded. It's not like your required skill / talent / hard work for that to happen.
