For the first time, China has launched a localized software projectprocessing clouds in Beijing shortly before the 2008 Olympics - then they were able to artificially cause rain shortly before the start of the competition. In June 2016, China allocated $ 30 million for its cloud processing project.
A year later, China spent $ 168 million.dollars to supply equipment to support the "cloud seeding" project - they purchased four aircraft and 897 rocket launchers. As previously reported by Business Insider, the Chinese Ministry of Finance wanted to use "cloud seeding" so that by 2020 at least 60 billion cubic meters of additional precipitation would fall in the country annually.
