Most of China’s “solutions” cause as many new issues as the original problems due to authoritarian implementation. Housing is ludicrously expensive in China and falls apart in areas its needed, and worthless ghost cities (which also fall apart) in areas it was added without demand. The damn system was done without regard for areas affected by massive changes in flood patterns. And the electricity demand problem was one caused by governments subsidizing cryptocurrency miners over local needs in the first place. The west is over regulated and our infrastructure takes forever to build and maintain. What infrastructure that does get built, however, lasts. China builds more faster, but it’s often ill thought out and falls apart quickly. The west can and should improve how we handle infrastructure. China is a bad model. We should look to how we were able to create solid infrastructure more quickly in the past.
