Likewise, Chinese mastery over ultra-small, cheap “micro-hydro” dams, which can generate tiny amounts of electricity from mere trickles of water, appeals to power-short, river-rich Africans. Tens of thousands of micro-hydro systems operate in China, and nearly none in Africa.
同样地，中国在超小、便宜的“微水电”站上的技术对于电力短缺但是拥有丰富河流的非洲也非常有吸引力。这种技术从很小的水流上就可以产生小量的电，在中国有数万个微水电系统在运行而在非洲却几乎为零。
