I don't understand the title. Is there an update where they are reidentified as wind turbines?

I notice the OP seems to specialize in China’s greatest hits.

Sure, it's not too different from most of people specializing in bashing China's greatest flaws.

I think everyone, from the both camps, should welcome specialists like myself. Not because I helped China, but because I helped people better understand China.

Makes sense?

The guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ask to use the original title. Small changes are sometimes ok, or sometimes the subtitle. If you are an specialist in this subject it's better to write a nice blog post explaining the errors in the identification.

Looking at that photo, they are putting silos/turbines/flowerpots/whatever in what looks like the dry course of a seasonal river or stream. Is that a good idea?

Note the middle right side has a line of text: Yumen Gansu windfarm

This screenshot from Planet's earth photo is used for missile silos...
