The Numbers: Security cameras, prefab housing, generating power and pandas on the brink of extinction

Some China-related numbers you may have missed: 

2.75m: The number of security cameras installed by the Chinese government since 2003.

1k: The number of prefabricated houses requested by Taipei from Beijing. The houses would be used to shelter those displaced by Typhoon Morakot.

800GW: The amount of China’s installed power generating capacity. The goal is 1,600 gigawatts by 2020.

1,590: The number of pandas living in the wild in China. Experts fear they could be extinct in two to three generations, unless they begin to reproduce more frequently.
