People are right to be cautious, skeptical, and conservative. There's little upside to accepting some technocrat's "Just trust me bro! I know what's good you for!" sales pitch, and there's unknown, potentially unlimited downsides. The people prepping your avocado toast and sanitizing your wastewater have bigger priorities than learning about all the details and dangers of all of today's novel technologies, nuclear or otherwise, and you haven't earned their trust, so they're understandably not going to risk theirs or their family's lives. That's my rant in the general case of techno- and nuclear- skepticism. In this particular case, it's simply a political move by China.
