22 Comments on China’s “Amazing” Infrastructure

  1. I went on a college study trip to the Soviet Union in 1979, a story we heard many times was of buildings collapsing in the Spring. It seems workers, pressured to meet quotas, poured concrete in sub-freezing Winter temps. It froze before it could cure and harden, then later thawed and caused the building to collapse. No pride of workmanship in Communist society.

  2. As should be understood: any time a country is run by communists, every dime of money taken from the people for anything is grifted away. When we were in major inland city in China in 1996, we had to visit one of their main gov’t offices. The 4-6 story building HAD NO WINDOWS! Not a single window in the place — where gov’t employees worked! No one behaved as though this was particularly irksome. Middle of winter and NO WINDOWS! They did have spitoons everywhere, too. And they got a workout because everyone had varying degrees of some sort of chest ailment. Gah!

  3. I have been through some of the bigger towns in China where the main roads are paved to barely the width of a one-lane road here and little, or no, traffic control signals or signs.
    In Beijing, the major freeways are three or four lanes each direction with cars at least 6 wide.
    Whenever I am over there and in a vehicle (I never drive), I close my eyes and pray I will make it to wherever I am going.

  4. I have seen the buildings falling down from shoddy construction. But they continue to build them to keep all of the surplus men occupied. I have read that China has only 10 years left before the demographics of “too many men, not enough women” catches up with them.
    That’s sad

    It’s why they’re fucked. With all the saber rattling China does who have they been at war with in the last 30 years? India, just recently and India kicked their ass. China’s a paper tiger with no balls. AND, they cant feed themselves so they’re really fucked.

  6. Back in ’76, when I was looking at satellite imagery of China for the USAF, I was fascinated by all the large busses driving through the city centers. They had huge rubber bags of methane gas mounted on top. They were the size of the bus itself. It was the fuel that the busses used as they made their rounds through the city. When full, the rubber bladders were huge and as the methane was used, the bladders shrunk. Often, the bladders were overfilled and would make contact with the overhead power lines. When that happened, the bladder exploded and fried everyone on the bus and people walking nearby. It was a gruesome sight. I saw the results on several occasions. The methane was produced from animal waste.

  7. folks, this is what you’re gonna get w/ the Third World labor we’re getting in the US w/ the ‘migrants’, aka: ‘illegal aliens’. last 15 years of my recent employment I’ve dealt w/ them first hand. no understanding of code, regulations, blueprints, building standards, specifications. all they do is point, dig, shrug when corrected & get back in the truck at the end of the day.
    it costs 3 times as much on any job because of the corrections.
    … & that’s the ones the inspector catches

    in the future, with our brave new One World Government, this will be the norm .. one may believe in some futuristic world as in the ‘Star Wars’ franchise portrayals, but it will be more like the movie ‘Brazil’, then evolving into ‘Idiocracy’
    human nature, & present circumstances observed from today to the recent past, drive the reasoning … it’s inevitable

    stock up … water, non-perishable food, power sources, barterable items, ammo

  8. China stole all their technology from everybody else. Our idiot politicians gave china billions. Elon Musk is an idiot of epic proportions. His cars are a friggin joke, they use fossil fuel power just like a gas engine, nothing green about them.
    There is no such thing as green energy. Windmills are an ecological DISASTER, and very unreliable.
    China’s wonderful infrastructure was built with American dollars supplied by a bunch of treasonous fools.
