This seemed pretty interesting. I've repeatedly come across the idea that how mountainous and desertified China's west is results in the east being kind of like an island. With that in mind, should I assume it's a safe bet we'll see a lot of wonderful infrastructure projects coming out of China to mitigate that geographic challenge?

And while this is being presented as a serious proposal, should it be taken seriously?

Let's pretend this is economically feasible - it sounds like a good idea till they hire a geologist who goes "what the gently caress, have you idiots never heard of sea quakes around subduction zones and poo poo" (there's a lot of faults around all of Asia). No, scratch that, it'd sound like a good idea, get implemented, and then demonstrate the existence of sea quakes as segments of the thing have to be rebuilt whenever one happens.
