China builts world's longest bridge

Central planning at its finest. Would the degenerates approve of such a thing if Obama wanted to build a similar economic justified project??


It is 10:51 PM, Monday February 21, 2001; the president is still black.
 

Exactly. Everytime someone mentions how china is kicking our ass, you always have the same sheeps who still believe it's the same china 30 years ago, and love to bury their head in the sand and justify our failures by pointing at china and yapping about their regulation/safety/crappy construction yada yada. That might be true for some small private projects still, but for large scale constructions china is far more advanced and efficient than usa is now.

Just going off memory what they have built in the last 5 years: world trade expo 2010, longest bridge, olympic 2008, beijin airport - one of the world's most advanced, nationwide highspeed rails, dozens of 80stories+ towers. What has the usa built in the last 5 years? a 2mile tunnel that got canceled after wasting 700mil, the 9/11 freedom tower after 10 years that just got started construction...am i missing anything...



Quote from short&naked:

It takes a bit longer in the USA to build bridges... we actually still have regulations (believe it or not). In china they use sand cement and hope it lasts the next 6 months. I mean how much of the crap coming out of that shithole is actually worth buying?

The keyboard you used to type this dribble, the lcd screen you are looking at now, the computer that allows you to post this message to the inter web...all or most of it are made in china. So if you are using "crap coming out of that shithole", by association, makes you a shit eater.

ya because USA takes years just to get a simple piece of shit done. Americans are fucking british descendants, that's why they love bureaucracy and paper-pushing.

and when an earthquake happens in china, how many 10's or 100's of thousands of people die from thousands of collapsed structures? in the US, a major quake might kill 50 people.

it's easy and cheap to build things when you don't care about the environment, worker safety, or longevity. the golden gate bridge was built in a couple of years, but that was back in the 1930s when we didn't care about how many workers died and minor concerns like that. if we went back to those days, we could easily have built your 2 mile tunnel in several months, and cheaply.

Fuck your stupid excuses, jealousy always makes you come up with such random nonsense. The products and services produced in this country and by this country are of no better quality than that of most other countries. Endless regulation and bureaucracy does not create endless quality, it only creates endless jobs for the pathetic and weak minded shitheads, who are called government employees.
 
I wouldn't trust driving over a 27 mile long bridge in China. If it is like any of the crap that is sold here in the US that is Made in China then it is cheaply made junk. Now, back to your noodles.

This is how you do infrastructure projects.

Meanwhile in the US, citing budget concerns a much needed new tunnel linking NJ to manhattan was canceled AFTER wasting $700 MILLION already.

Add insult to injury, it took the chinese FOUR years from start to finish to build the 27mile bridge, it took usa FIVE years and $700 million to come up with a fucking PLAN to build a <2 miles tunnel, only to get canceled before construction even starts.

I really want to be hopeful, but we are not just falling behind, we are getting left in the dust like a third world country by china...

And I bet it was all Chinese firms, with Chinese education, and Chinese technology that built that bridge. And I also bet all the funding came from within China. ....not. We built the longest bridge in the world for them is what you mean to say. Wake up. The elite of the world want to build up China and destroy the West. Why? The Chinese do what they're told and they don't bitch about it.
