SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk on Wednesday gave his thumbs up for Chinese infrastructure construction, calling the nation 100 times faster than the US.

“China’s progress in advanced infrastructure is more than 100 times faster than the US,” Musk wrote on his personal Twitter account in a quote tweet of a news report about how a railway station in eastern China’s Fujian province was completed within 9 hours.

The construction took place at Longyan Station on January 19, 2018. A total of 1,500 laborers worked together with 23 excavators.

Many followed the thread and echoed Musk. A user named Brandon, who said he works for a light rail system in the US city of San Diego, commented that they have been working on a new station for more than six months.

Musk said in comments that the system of incentives in the US is messed up. “Higher safety & environmental requirements & labor costs explain only a small part of the difference. True root cause imo is an exponential growth in bureaucracy & a self-serving private sector consultant industry earning a % on project cost, incenting them to maximize cost,” he said.

Abnd what do Chinese do after building station in 9 hours?
Most of hsr station are located in the outskirts of smaller cities except the main cities where it goes to current station and inner city areas.
Jakarta to bandung a good example. Rail line did not go into city centres.

Infrastructure can be turned into rubble in an instant, doesn't matter how advanced it is.

In case you haven't grasped the plot already, Elon Musk's Tesla business is being held hostage by the CCP regime. He has to make a pro-China angkat bola soundbite now and then to keep Winnie off his back. It's not a choice.

Same goes for Foxconn's boss, who is currently being tasked to stir shit in the upcoming election in Taiwan.

The rate that China link up its cities by high speed rail is a lesson to be learnt. Similar to their rate of their housing market bubblelising. It’s to be written in the anals of history.

China's useless building infrastructure to boost the economy only make certain group rich. At the end of the day, you must put money into the pocket of your own people so that they feel richer. They spend

Looking at the wave of bankruptcy in Guangzhou in retail, you know that the economy is slowly crumbling. The people no longer has the means to spend cos they either loser their job or simply their asset value has turn negative.

Yeah. Tiongkok think like Isle of Paradise, infrastructure is expensive to build and even more expensive for maintenance

The cost of building expensive infrastructure will reach to point of diminishing returns as the econmic effect get saturated...it is not like playing Civilization 3

There is nothing else to build in China. Whatever airport, trains, highways it's all completed in record time.

Speed is important but how about safety?
How long can such stuctures last ?
Can cement and concrete even dry in 9 hours ?

IOWA – A group of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “old friends” from Iowa have been invited to a dinner he will attend in California this week – 38 years after they welcomed the then unknown party official for a hog roast, farm tours and a Mississippi River boat ride as they showed him how capitalists do agriculture.

“This has been a heck of a journey – we can’t figure it out. We don’t even know why he likes us!” said Ms Sarah Lande, an 85-year-old Muscatine resident who has maintained connections with Mr Xi since he made his first visit to the United States as the leader of a food processing delegation from China’s Hebei province in 1985.

“But we’re eager to meet with him, too. We’re regular, everyday people,” Ms Lande added.

Mr Xi’s warm and enduring bond with the Midwesterners he first encountered nearly four decades ago stands in contrast with the suspicions and acrimony that have characterised relations between the two largest economies over the last few years.

Both President Xi and President Joe Biden, who plan to meet on Wednesday during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco, have taken recent diplomatic steps to ease the strains.

The Iowans’ invitations for the reception and dinner, on the sidelines of Apec, came through the National Committee on US-China Relations and the US-China Business Council, in coordination with China’s embassy, Ms Lande said.
