Biden starts infrastructure bet with US far behind China

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

Because people travel by planes and private vehicles. Rails are for cargo in USA.

In terms of private vehicles, American road condition cannot compete with Chinese road condition.

Catching up with China in infrastructure? wet dream, US.

Wet dream? Why the US invented inter state super highways , suspension bridges , inter state rail...the list is long all this started in the late 1800s. Hell 70% of Chinese mega infrastructure projects are conceptualized in US and Europe. C'mon infrastructure is easy, we aren't Pakistan

The hard part was the desire to fund..and..the work force needed to build ... Chinese workers helped build our railroads in the 1800s ...this time we'll probably rely on automation.

China also has better highways, but it doesn't stop China building high speed railways and subways.

Because most of its population is along its coast, whereas it is spread out over a larger area in USA. As I said before, it is not a counting game, but depends on the requirements of each country.

In terms of private vehicles, American road condition cannot compete with Chinese road condition.

Yes, but we do not need permission to travel anywhere we like.

(And our vehicles are much more luxurious.)

When China was already a civilization you guys were still hunters and gatherers, I m not talking about the past, I m talking about the present and the future.

The Chinese are so obsessed with infrastructure akin to a caveman that just discovered fire.
To China, infrastructure speeding is like crack and represents an unhealthy portion of their GDP.
China has been trying to recalibrated by increasing internal consumption - unsuccessfully largely because of the huge household debt that is a significant barrier to escaping its middle income trap. When people don't spend the government has to...and so they build and ...can't stop building.

PDF and its China friendly Pakistani population is one of few avenues for the Chinese wolfboi warrior to indulge his fantasy.

Infrastructure is good, I admit, but freedom to travel anywhere and at anytime is better.

As long as she is a buxom blonde, I wouldn't mind.

Seriously though, I have traveled extensively on US infrastructure. And in Europe. It is just a different order of priorities and preferences, and China is no different in this regards either.
