It doesnt take the chinese $9 billion to build a few miles of underwater tunnel. It also doesnt take the chinese $750million to do "site studies" spanning a decade on said tunnel.
Government policies gets implemented in weeks, not years. China also runs their entire banking system like a utility instead of vegas. 99.9% of chinese are also not stupid enough to sign a zero down mortgage 10x their annual income. They also dont have unions to rot the country from within.
Quote from misterno:
Chinese are stupid
They invested in 3 Trillion today's USD soon to be worthless.
How much more can you act stupid?
Quote from geostrathmore:
If I understand correctly, China is not even a cent in debt?
And they are in a position to spend 3 Trillion dollars?
I don't know how they did it but Chinese official need to train American officials.
Quote from dafugginman:
oh boy. another one from the left admiring a communist system where government has the power to missallocate capital on a massive scale and do it quicker than here. Soon my friend, you will see that the system you admire is poised to come to an abrupt end, and will be revealed to be the greatest fraud in the history of the world, with a misallocation of capital on a scale into the fixed assets you mention that's never been seen before. Admire your state communism, the market distoritions, and the corruption that accompanies big government that has yet to be revealed. You will soon be shown to be an ignorant fool who thinks with his heart, not his mind.
