You could cover the arabian peninsula and sahara with panels and use UHV lines to connect to china.

I am all for that.

I just think it is more realistic to first build nuclear power plants within 50km of every city with a population greater than 1mil people in China.

I am not sure a there has ever been a UHV line longer than 3,000km? Efficiency loss only increases the longer a UHV line is.
