Does China have electricity?
中國有電嗎？
QUORA網站讀者評論：
Daniil Raytsyn
No, China does not have any electricity. Not even a single light bulb.
沒有，中國沒有電。連個燈泡都找不到。
As you can see from this totally legit map, China is completely dark at night. There are no lights anywhere. In fact, the entire country functions without having to use any electrical power. Most people in China have never seen an artificial light, and very few can comprehend what electricity even is. The country is so primitive that even top-tier government officials don’t know how to use a light switch. Whenever Chinese citizens travel abroad they are bewildered by the sight of modern electrical technology, since they have lived their entire lives without it.
從這張地圖上你可以看到，中國的夜晚到處都是一片漆黑。沒有一丁半點的燈光。事實上，整個國家不需要電力就能正常運轉。在中國，大多數人都沒見過人造光，幾乎沒人知道電是什麼。這個國家太原始了，就算是最高級別的官員也不懂得如何使用照明開關。中國公民出國旅行時，都會被現代電氣技術的景象所震撼，因為他們一輩子都沒見過。

This image of the Chinese city of Shenzhen you see here is actually fake. The entire image has been meticulously photoshopped by the Communist party in order to convince foreigners that China is modern and developed, just like their own cities.
這張中國城市深圳的圖片其實是假的。是為了讓外國人相信中國就像國外一樣摩登發達而精心修圖的。
The electrical situation is so dire that many foreign companies have attempted to install electrical power in China, but none have managed to do so. The hundreds of electrical power stations in China actually serve no purpose. The solar farm you see above, which is apparently the world’s largest, only produces electricity for other countries, since there is no demand from China.
If you’re wondering about all the Chinese online accounts you』ve interacted with, they are actually all bots. Every single one.
電力形勢非常嚴峻，許多外國公司都試圖在中國建造發電站，但沒有一家成功了。中國數百座發電站其實都毫無用處。上圖的太陽能發電廠，雖然規模達到全球最大，但只為其他國家供電，因為中國沒有電力需求。
如果你因為曾在網上和中國網民互動過而覺得疑惑，你要知道他們其實都是機器人。沒有例外。
Unfortunately, China has no electricity, and that is something many people outside of China don’t understand.
The United Nations has called the lack of electricity in China an economic disaster, and has launched campaign after campaign to get an electric grid installed. There have been no successes, however, and to this day China does not posses electricity.
不幸的是，中國沒有電，這是許多外國人不明白的。
聯合國稱中國的電力短缺是一場經濟災難，並發起了一場又一場的行動來安裝電網。但一直未能成功，直到今天，中國還是沒有電。
In case you haven’t realized, this was all sarcasm. Of course China has electricity, they’re not savages and have access to most of the things as we do.
如果你還沒有反應過來，我說的全是諷刺。中國當然有電，他們又不是野蠻人，他們跟我們一樣對世界非常了解。
Apan Li, lives in China
No！I know it is so sad but I have to say it is true that almost all countries except China have electricity.
I always envy the foreigners because I never experience the life with electricity. I sincerely hope that you can forgive Chinese about our ignorance about electricity. I am willing to find out how electricity works to make up the blank with it.
Maybe you will guess what happened to this picture？
沒有!我知道這麼說很慘，但我必須說這是真的,除了中國外，幾乎所有國家都有電。
我一直很羨慕外國人，因為我從來沒有體驗過有電的生活。我真誠地希望你們能原諒中國人對電的無知。我願意研究電是如何工作的以彌補空白。
也許你會想這張照片是怎麼回事?

china generation capacity is number one in the world bit so is its population…1505 GW or 1505000MW in 2014…so they do have a lot of electricity but china is a big country and has transmission problems …apparently they are building eight 800KV Dc power lines tobe able to transmit power further from hydel and coal sources…they are also working on one grid as opposed to five separate ones…they have a hefty 90000MW in wind power, 28000MW from solar and 21000 from nuclear…This apart from 907000MW from coal and 135000MW from thermal and 300000MW from hydel…production in 2016 was 5932Twh…That is massive by any standards…but apparently they donot have universal availaibility and there are shortages..comparatively Pakistan has a generation capacity of 20GW and iran has a capacity of 65GW and india has a capacity of 329.23GW in Aug2017…In the USa capacity was 1064.1GW in 2015.
中國的發電能力是世界第一，中國人口也是世界第一…2014年中國的發電量已達1505千瓦或1505000 mw…所以他們的電力充足,但中國是一個大國,存在電力傳輸問題…很顯然他們正在修建8 800千伏直流電源線路，能將水電和煤電傳送到更遠的地方…他們也在研究單一輸電網，取代五個電網…他們的風力發電量高達90000兆瓦，太陽能和核能發電量分別達到28000和21000兆瓦…除此之外，煤炭發電量為907000 mw，熱能發電量135000 mw，水力發電量135000 mw…不論以何種標準來衡量，這個發電量都是天量…但很顯然，電量分布並不均衡，有些地方存在電力短缺的問題。相比之下，2017年8月，巴基斯坦的發電能力是20兆瓦，伊朗的發電能力是65兆瓦,印度的發電能力是329.23兆瓦…而2015年，美國的發電能力為1064.1兆瓦。

This question is/was a troll question: Sir/Madam, I have lived in Canada for close to 50 years, when I first visited this country I was shocked stunned.
Media did a good job, and misrepresenting this great nation.
Canada is very nice country and press/media are very good, but I did not know fraction of the truth about China.
Glimpses of modern China and I leave it to the viewers to make their own judgement about fairness of this question.
這個問題是想騙回復吧：先生/女士，我在加拿大生活了近50年，當我第一次來中國時，我簡直目瞪口呆。
這是現代中國的景象，我把圖片貼上來，讓讀者們自己對這個問題的公平性作出判斷。
Davie Notellin
Don’t know if the person who asked this question is a complete troll, or just being racist and ignorant. Maybe you need to tell your school’s principal to stop using history books from the 1930s or 40s, thinking the Chinese still live in grasshuts and using peddle-powered generators. If you can ask this question on Quora, you must have internet. I have never been to China myself but my friends and neighbors who went there last year, said western media really downplayed China’s incredible advanced progress in the last 20–30 years. They are now the World’s second largest economy and will soon surpass the U.S. in next 5 years. They have the World’s longest and fastest high speed public rails (>350kmph) (yes U.S. doesn’t really have any trains that can travel more than 150 mph). They are the World’s largest solar energy and renewable energy producers, and our ignorant president still want to dig dirty coals out from the ground.
我不知道問出這個問題的人到底是個徹頭徹尾的惡棍，還是個種族主義、無知愚昧的傢伙。也許你該告訴你們學校的校長，別再用20世紀30年代或40年代的歷史書了，還以為中國人仍然住著茅草屋。如果你能在Quora上提問這個問題，你肯定是能上網的。我本人還沒去過中國，但去年去過中國的朋友和鄰居跟我說，西方媒體確實低估了中國在過去20-30年中取得的令人難以置信的進步。他們現在是世界第二大經濟體，將在未來5年超越美國。他們擁有世界上最長最快的高鐵（時速超過350公裡/小時）（是的，美國沒有真正時速超過150英裡的火車）。他們是世界上最大的太陽能和可再生能源生產商，而我們無知的總統還想著從地下挖煤的事兒。
Sean Goin, former Spoken English Teacher at Hengshui Senior High School (2012-2015)
Having lived and worked in China for more than 7 years I can say from personal experience, yes, they have electricity, computers, cell phones, and technology. They have had this technology and have been using it for as long as any western country has. There might be some rural areas that have a bit of limitation to electricity, because transporting electricity over many km of wires is difficult, but I know of no town without electricity.
我在中國生活工作了7年多，我個人的經驗告訴我，是的，他們有電、電腦、手機和技術。他們擁有這項技術，使用電力的時間和西方國家一樣長。可能有一些農村地區在用電方面有一些限制，因為通過遠距離電線傳輸電力是存在困難的，但我知道所有城鎮都通了電。

It can vary by parts as can virtually any other country including America, Canada or even those in Europe. The larger, more populated areas definitely do and at this point leads the world in manufacture of green energy (solar and wind) as well as the installed base with more solar energy installed and working than any other country in the world. Having said that, due to the vast size and demand China also still has many large coal fired plants which are still operating as many of the green energy plants are used to meet growing demand versus replacement of the older generation systems. By the end of 2016, China’s solar generation capacity hit 77.42 gigawatts.
地區不同，情況不同，其他國家包括美國、加拿大甚至歐洲國家也大體如此。面積更大，人口更多的地區肯定有電，引領著世界綠色能源(太陽能和風能)的生產，太陽能用戶群比世界上任何國家都來得更大。儘管如此，由於巨大的規模和需求，中國仍有許多大型燃煤電廠，因為綠色能源電廠中有許多是為了滿足不斷增長的新需求，而非替代舊的發電系統。截至2016年底，中國太陽能發電裝機容量達到77.42億瓦。

No!
Of course not!
Don’t be so silly!
This picture is a lie!
沒有!
當然沒有啦!
別傻了!
這張照片是假的!
Sydney Ma, lives in China (1993-present)
This is my city, Shenzhen. As you can see China has no electricity because we are a dirt poor backward country. While traveling to the US by sail (we don’t have engines either) I was fascinated by something they call a light bulb, I had never seen such magic in my homeland. I wonder if one day mighty Americans will share their infinite knowledge and wisdom with us poor Chinese.
這是我所在的城市，深圳。正如你所看到的，中國沒有電，因為我們是一個非常貧窮落後的國家。當我坐帆船去美國的時候(我們也沒有發動機)，我被一種叫做「電燈泡」的東西迷住了，我在家鄉還從未見過如此神奇的東西。我想知道強大的美國人願不願與我們這些可憐的中國人分享他們無窮的知識和智慧。
Ash Pang
Depends on where.
In places that were once European colonies,such as Hong Kong and Macao,there is electricity
This is Hong Kong at night (ok its a very bad photo)
There is also electricity in major cities
For example Beijing held the 2008 olympics and Shanghai held the 2010 world expo.Imagine Olympics and world expos without electricity!!!!
But sadly,this is not all of China
In some very poor places,such as Gansu province and Guizou province,it is very poor that
有沒有電取決於地點。
在曾是歐洲殖民地的地方，如香港和澳門，是有電力供應的
這是香港的夜晚
一些大城市也有電力供應
例如，北京舉辦了2008年奧運會，上海舉辦了2010年世博會。奧運會和世博會若沒有電，會是什麼情形!!
但遺憾的是，並非中國全境都如此。
在一些非常貧困的地方，如甘肅省和貴州省
Well I don’t think they have any electricity
我不相信他們會有電。
Jackson Yee
this is a ridiculous question! If China do not have electricity where are all 「made in China」 from? Let’s pretend China do not have electricity, then more than half of your clothes will disappear from your wardrobe, if your wardrobe is made in China, then you save a small half of the clothes will nowhere to put…. If China do not have electricity, your life will messed up, your cup, your clothes, your shoes, your notebooks… u can check, how many thing in your life is made in China, if u still have questions, go to goolge search: Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenzhen……
Here is some photo about China cities
這真是是一個可笑的問題!如果中國沒有電，那麼「中國製造」從何而來？假設中國沒有電，那麼你一半以上的衣服會從衣櫃中消失，如果你的衣櫃也是中國製造的，那麼你存下的那一小部分衣服就將無處安放……如果中國沒有電，你的生活就會一團糟，你的杯子，你的衣服，你的鞋子，你的筆記本……你可以檢查一下，你的生活中有多少東西是中國製造的，如果你還有疑問，去谷歌搜索一下:北京，上海，重慶，深圳
這是一些中國城市的照片
Thomas Sutherland
Of course Not! China become the biggest industrial country in the world and the biggest exporter in the world and the world’s second largest economy using a mysterious magical force called Yo-Ra-Moo-Run.
The art of conjuring that force is a very ancient form of magic that allows the Chinese to sell very large quantities of very low quality goods to the whole world and become incredibly rich. Rumors has it that the very same magic is used by American media to make Americans believe the strangest things no sane man in other country believe about the rest of the world.
If you are a positive and smart person, you need to do something about. Say no to Yo-Ra-Moo-Run!
當然沒有電啦!中國是用了一種被稱為Yo-Ra-Moo-Run的神奇魔力，成為世界上最大的工業國、最大的出口國和第二大經濟體的。
這種魔力的施展是一種非常古老的魔法，使得中國人得以向全世界出售大量質量低劣的商品，變得非常富有。有傳言說，美國媒體也採用了同樣的魔法，讓美國人相信了其他國家的正常人都不相信的最匪夷所思的事。
如果你是一個積極聰明的人，你必須得做點什麼。對Yo-Ra-Moo-Run說不!
Roger Gilmartin, Traveling the world and learning wherever I go
Hey, look everybody!
Here’s another in a seemingly endless line of asinine questions, trying to make China look bad and backward.
All it does show is that the questioner should not have left school quite so early in their lifetime.
I recommend that you look at a nighttime picture of China from space, that way you can see that China is completely electrified - and you can also see that the Earth is round.
嘿，大家看!
這又是一個沒完沒了的愚蠢問題，想方設法要讓中國出醜，顯得很落後。
但這個問題只能表明，提問者真該在學校多讀幾年書。
我建議你去看看從太空俯瞰中國的夜景，這樣你就可以看到中國全境都通了電——而且你也能認識到地球是圓的了。
Arthur Brogard, lived in China (2001-2004)
Yes! But it is probably the best kept secret in the world today.
The Chinese use Static electricity and they manufacture it before our very noses while we look on uncomprehending. How clever those fiendish Orientals are.
Traditionally the Chinese use chopsticks made of amber and wear robes of silk.
They sit before you apparently doing nothing more than eating their bowls of rice but actually cunningly manufacturing static electricity by slyly rubbing their chopsticks on their robes…
有電的!但這也許是當今世界上保守得最好的秘密了。
中國人用的是靜電，他們在我們面前製造，而我們看不懂。那些東方人多聰明啊。
傳統上中國人使用琥珀製成的筷子，穿著絲綢長袍。
他們坐在你面前，雖然看著只是在吃碗裡的米飯，實際上他們很狡猾地用筷子在長袍上摩擦，製造靜電……
Paul Harrison, been 40+ times China, 2 bookcases full China books
Hong Kong was about the third? city to have electric power after New York and London
An insurance clerk Bandyshea Leighton suggested it to Chater,
See Austin Coates book , the power station was in the hilly part of Wanchai , Sun Moon Star Street area
香港大概是繼紐約和倫敦之後第三個通電的城市。
保險公司職員班迪謝·萊頓向查特建議，
讀讀柯慈的書，該電站位於灣仔多山的日月星街一帶。
Marcus Anderson Loh
Do *NOT* believe all those answers. I live in Hong Kong (in China) and there are lights *EVERYWHERE*. Literally everywhere. All of my family and friends have lights in their house and a user said he doesn't know what is a TV and everyone has one! Even in restaurants and public transport. And even though Hong Kong people dislike China, I am defending this. I have been to China before and there are electricity everywhere, hotels, transport, restrooms , etc. So do not believe those *ahem* idiotic posts which are obviously scams and if you don't believe me Google some picture please.
不要相信所有這些答案。我住在香港(中國)，到處都燈火通明。真的不騙你。我所有家人和朋友家裡都有燈，有個網友說他不知道什麼是電視，但每個人都有電視!甚至餐館和公共運輸工具上也有電視。儘管香港人不喜歡中國，我也要替中國辯護一下。我以前去過中國，那裡到處都有電，旅館、交通、廁所等地方都有電。所以別信那些明顯是騙局的愚蠢帖子，如果你不相信我，上google搜搜看。

What a moronic question, you should be banned!
這個問題也忒弱智了吧，應該把你禁言的！
Julian Fejzo, Albanian interested about China
Are you serious? DOES CHINA HAS ELECTRICITY?
I don't know that why did you ask this question, it has no sense!
It's OBVIOUSLY that in China there is electricity! It is the 2nd Powerful country in the world (but it exceeds the US)…
I think that who asked this question has some prejudices about China and Chinese people in general for ask one of the (according to me) most offensive and useless questions on Quora!
I hope that the user who taken that question realizes that what he asked is quite unpleasant…
你是認真的嗎?中國有沒有電?
我不知道你為什麼會問這個問題，毫無意義!
很明顯，中國有電!它是世界上第二大強國(超過了美國)……
我認為，問這個問題的人肯定對中國和中國人有偏見，我認為這個問題是Quora上最無禮、最沒用的問題之一。
我希望問出問題的網友能意識到他這個問題讓人很不愉快……
Murali Krishna U, lives in Living in Shenzhen, China (2014-present)
One more typical non-sense question! I think Quora should review this kind of questions and publish the sensible questions which helps people to solve their problems. Otherwise Quora will loose the magic touch which its has been last few years. Beware QUORA!
這又是一個毫無意義的問題!我認為Quora應該重新審核這種問題，發布一些明智的能幫大家解決問題的提問。否則Quora將失去過去幾年累積的魔力。QUORA慎行啊!

I do not think they have electricity as they are such an old civilization that they for sure have to rub sticks together to make fire. They mostly live in caves and bamboo huts and sing at night so the Chinese boogie man does not dare approach. Also all their industrial cities producing electronics are using cow manure, mud and sticks.
Are you for real, man? How can you ask such a question? Are you aware how much industry is there in China? They produce almost everything. Almost all electronics in the world are produced there.
我不認為他們有電，因為他們的文明太古老了，他們得聚在一起摩擦生火。他們大多住在山洞和竹屋裡，晚上放聲歌唱，所以中國的鬼神不敢靠近。此外，所有生產電子產品的工業城市都使用牛糞、泥漿和樹枝。
你是說真的嗎，夥計?你怎麼會問出這樣的問題?你知道中國有多少工業嗎?他們幾乎什麼都能製造。世界上幾乎所有的電子產品都是在那裡生產的。
Krishna Aamancharla, former Retired
Why people are obsessed with such ideas, does China has( have) electricity, does Pakistan has transport or toilets... Oh!!.
Try to think before asking questions about anything, try to think about getting ridiculed.
China is numbrr one in any aspect, especially elrical and electronics Industries and inventions. There's no nation in the worls which doesn't depend upon China for those items.( May be a Just A Little Exaggeration)
為什麼人們會對這樣的想法如此著迷?中國有電嗎?巴基斯坦有交通和廁所嗎?哦天啊! !
在對任何事情發問之前，自己都要先想一想，想想這個問題會不會惹人嘲笑。
中國在所有領域都是世界第一，尤其是電子工業和發明創造。世界上沒有哪個國家在這些領域不依賴於中國。(可能我說的有點誇張)

我猜你是為了搞笑來的吧。
Martin Norton, former Electronics RD Engr., Mgr, Consultant at Retirement (1960-2003)
I have to wonder how you come to ask this question. Perhaps you have not noticed how many items are offered in the USA, manufactured in China? Perhaps you do not follow news and failed to notice that China has just announced that their latest stealth fighter is ready for use by the air force? Their growing number of nuclear power plants?
When I emigrated from England to the USA in 1972, I was asked whether ice cream existed in England..
Was that question by one of your relatives?
我想知道你為什麼會問出這個問題。也許你沒有留意到美國有多少產品是中國製造的?也許你沒有關注新聞，沒有注意到中國剛剛宣布他們最新的隱形戰機已經準備進入空軍服役?他們的核電站越建越多了?
1972年我從英國移民到美國時，居然有個人問我英國是否有冰淇淋。
難不成那人就是你的親戚?
