Interesting some locals might be upset their homes will be flooded by the project.
The last paragraph says the Chinese don't provide job opportunities to the locals or give opportunities to local to supply anything to the project.
Several years ago the Chinese wanted to open a coal mine in Western Canada. They wanted to import Chinese miners to work in the mine. That didn't fly. Next they agreed to hire Canadians, that's better lads. The last thing I heard they wanted miners that spoke Mandarin. They are persistent to say the least. I don't know how things ended.
