What it sounds like you're saying is "I believe I know how a bridge is built, but I have no idea what a cloning factory entails, so the latter is more impressiv

  Fair enough! I figure a cloning factory requires some expensive machinery and electronics, notwithstanding already expensive things like climate control, power, and lighting. And it's not like people have built cloning factories before, so you can't exactly look up plans on the internet. By comparison, bridges are fairly well understood and much simpler.

    A cloning factory is private property, a bridge is public access. Presumably you think the technology in a cloning factory is more expensive than bridge making equipment, but maybe you're not taking into consideration the various codes and legal requirements that are necessary to build a bridge.

      Haha what about the legal mess around cloning... seems like that would be a tad more expensive process than getting a licence to build a bridge...

        The Chinese government is the one providing all of the money and pushing the program. I have a feeling that red tape is not as much of a problem for them as you assume.
