Possible but no plan has implemented yet. Right now, there are multiple feasible studies but these studies didn't persuade anyone to start such project.
No plan, but it's necessary for china to do it as soon as finance and technology allows.

This is possible though
First of all, it is off-topic. Limit it to your own water thread

Secondly, it is a dumb idea because keep pumping water into an area without a way for the water to leave will result in salty fields. You will end up with a salty lake and salty fields.

Anyways there's a possible example that it won't get salty field. I'll post in my water tread. But my post is mainly about the canal that India don't like but can't do anything if china done so. China shouldn't care what will India think if canal built.

hmm, semiconductor = oil is just something that natsec nuts came up with. Nothing is like oil. By the time China really gets into semiconductors, it will be cheap and abundant like everything else China touches.

Don't worry about it, China won't build anything other than mature node in Brazil. most countries just want mature nodes locally to help their domestic industries. You don't need 7nm process for that.
This is exactly what I mentioned. You need a large market for tools, and what better than to set up mature node fabs in aligned countries that have strong local demand and that don't conflict with yours? A Brazilian 180 nm analog fab built on Chinese tech would mean that Chinese industry now has a new captive customer for tools that provides feedback in a very different market. Brazil gets tech independence.

That’s not a given. India invests far too little in education and infrastructure.
Agreed, but this understates the nature of India's problem. Even calling India's situation a "problem" understates it because there's an implication that a solution exists. India will not and cannot get its act together enough to make these sustained investments, and as the world economy becomes more sophisticated and technologically dependent with every passing year, India becomes less able to meaningfully participate.

This isn't because of some political choice India made, with the implication that it can make different choices in the future. It's a consequence of what India is - India is not a centralized state with a deep history of strong government. It is a patchwork of principalities that got stitched together by the British (and prior Muslim) invasion that masquerades as a country. It's a less cohesive EU without the money.

To drive the point home, there are incidents where police forces from neighbouring Indian provinces shoot at each other. How can anyone reasonable think that's a country?

People should really examine their assumptions about how countries develop and what the conditions required for that are. China's experience cannot be replicated, and certainly not by a "country" like India.

BRICS is probably going to need a new name.

Any suggestions?
