Reading that China is quite advanced in AI also, and if these things are related, how are they handling things like data centers over there? Or are they not related?
China has a very different climate and landmass. The reason these companies keep trying to make datacenters in places where they’ll use all the water the residents need to survive, is because those places are the cheapest to build and opperate. Land in the desert is dirt-cheap (lol). China doesn’t have to build in the desert to build on cheap land, and so can build pretty much whereever they feel like it, including where water and electricity isn’t an issue.
Also, they’ve shown before that they don’t really have to give a shit about the lives of local residents. They probably (maybe) don’t want them to die, but relocation is always an option.
In the end we probably don’t know wether people are pissed about it or not, since we don’t get a lot of news from rural China.

Learn US history a little. Read about the flooding of the Ozarks and hundreds of other regions of the US to build power dams.

Yeah it just had me thinking. Thank you.
Lots of statesponsored datacenters being build in China. And of course with no way to say no to those.
And a majority of domestically produced Chinese RAM-chips are being funneled into Chinese datacenters (by government mandate).
