That's neat, but do you really want the sky filled with these things?  Each one only produces 1.2MW, so it would take thousands of them to produce a meaningful amount of electricity.

I believe that these are stunts by the CCP to show the world how innovative and green they are.  Meanwhile:

I don’t think these are meant to be a replacement for ground-based power generation.  The article talks about how this is geared for remote and/or temporary situations, as it doesn’t need extensive ground facilities to operate.  And winds aloft are stronger and steadier than they are at ground level where conventional wind turbines operate.  It’s a clever solution for what it’s intended for.

Seeing one up in the sky would be cool👍
