- steveplace 17y agoOur infrastructure projects assume that oil is going to stay at 80/bbl.
- hugh3 17y agoRemember that big infrastructure projects are a lot easier in China since the government has no hesitation about demolishing entire villages which might sit in the way of the latest highway, rail line or dam.

- nanotone 17y agoThat's an extreme example. How many people are going to fight to keep their home after having power and water cut and a 30-foot pit dug around it? Keep in mind that on the whole, Chinese people are much more likely to give up personal property/liberty for the benefit of the state. It's a massive generalization of course, but the difference between Chinese and American mindsets is really significant.
