I don't think -anyone- knows how to build a plant or set of plants which will produce four million barrels of ethanol a day without consuming more resources than it produces... which is one percent of domestic US consumption, an effect so small you'd never notice it, even if it cost nothing to make in terms of money or the environment.
Since I don't think -anyone- can do it, I don't think -China- can do it.
You're arguing well outside of your expertise in terms of what is "technologically feasible."
