In Regards China and Noted Power Outages (Sept/2021)

 Posting this as I wasn't sure how to actually add it to Reddit, new at posting and its through a third-party APP.

UPDATE:

Recently in the news China has also decided that they would not build Skyscraper classified buildings (thinking of Canton Tower, or The Shenzhen Financial Building) for the next few years to conserve energy. It is certainly a positive movement and interesting timing for this policy to be made public as they begin to also loosen up the "Zero-COVID Tolerance" that has been creating a lot of strife in and outside of the country.
