This entire concept has been studied extensively in China, and the conclusion has been that the yield is vastly overclaimed when solar panels are deployed on productive soil.
Your claim is that… China has incentive to reduce deployments of solar panels by criticizing the deployment of solar panels over agricultural land? We’re talking about the same China, right? World leader in solar panel production, being criticized by American and European leaders for overcapacity in solar panel production? I just want to make sure we’re on the same page here.
Jeez my bad the government responsive for legislating the sale of my broadcast rights has no oversight into the operations of my media company. Silly me.

You’ll excuse me if I don’t believe a PRC source posted on lemmy.ml.
Lol, this is funny for now but it’s gonna become a real problem eventually.

My claim is that I don’t see any reason to believe a PRC news source.
Your claim is that a PRC news source wants people to deploy less solar panels.
No, my claim is a PRC news source is not trustworthy.
If you want to show me a source that discusses this issue from a media outlet that isn’t state-controlled, feel free to do so and I will read it.
I do not give my time to state-controlled media.
BBC? CBC? NPR? RFA? Al Jazeera?
What, exactly, do you think the incentive is for a PRC news source to discourage solar panel adoption?
Neither the BBC nor NPR are state-run media.
State-funded is not the same. You’re being dishonest.

As a matter of course I don’t trust things that China says.
What’s the incentive structure for which China would want people to deploy fewer solar panels?
