I was surprised to learn of large HVDC projects in China, and can't tell if the image is a real test facility or something from Nikola Tesla fan fiction.

China recently split their AC system, with only DC ties connecting Yunnan province to the rest of the China grid. Those DC ties are huge, and before the split a DC trip could have overloaded the AC lines. It's a bold move, and it seems to make sense. I haven't seen any followups that the system isn't working.
