On second thought, you're right. Forgot we live in a fucked up society for a second.

Apart from this being fake or not. how they will focus this moon into China only and not in other countries?
and what if the connection to the satellite is broken while it's in ON state?

I think it's innovative rather than stupid... It is risks like these which help society progress exponentially.

Lol thats pretty cool and stupid at the same time
Damn its going to be an interesting Project
Yeah no this doesn't work. Our planet is fucking huge for one, and we can not send up nearly enough reflective material to light up cities. Second problem would be that LEO satellites do not stay over one spot. They orbit the planet 15 times a day. The spotlight of light from such a satellite would move so fast across the ground that it would have no purpose what so ever as an area would be lit up for a few seconds tops lmao.

Nice meme though

The essential cause of the stability of our currency was to be sought for in our concentration camps. The currency remains stable when the speculators are put under lock and key.

Feel like this would just backfire. Even Skyscrapers cause burns/fires because the glass reflects the sun. Imagine a big ass artificial moon doing it... Ya... good luck with that. They'll be setting shit on fire and burning their own citizens.

Just one problem, there is many more
Exciting to see when this darn thing fails and blows up or something? :/

In one of the comments a guy genuinely asked:

China is like China in Deux Ex Human Revolution.
