It's been almost 20 years since CA passed the high speed train from SF to LA. Not a single mile of track laid, but billions spend by lawyers. Yup, US run by lawyers, China run by engineers.
FYI, China has a high-speed rail system. It is currently running at a loss whose accumulated deficit totals over $800 BILLION! I would also suggest you google "tofu-dreg project" to find out about the reality of modern Chinese infrastructure. Modern-day China has undersea road tunnels which leak, skyscrapers which shake (and even collapse), and concrete walls (and bricks) which can be (literally) picked apart with bare fingers.
The most powerful place in China is not that a few people are working hard,But 1.4 billion people are working hard. This is not the power of a nation, it is the power of a culture that has accumulated over thousands of years.
well said non-chinese overlooked this issue. They focus too much on IT and big bodies. It is a culture of harmony and discipline that other cultures do not have.
Why are you speaking in English, when most here are obviously Asian? And this is especially curious as you speak it so badly. Your statement above makes no sense. In fact it looks like the work of a bot. Anyway why are you guys here at all, don't yous have draughts, floods and a war on your hands, not to mention all that 'tofu' falling down everywhere onto your people?
China is a must visit for me. I need to expand my imagination. Magnificent and great innovation Chinese has done in my country Kenya🇰🇪🙏. Thank you for diversifying into 3rd world countrys. 🙏
Having lived in Beijing between 2005-2007, it was an inspiration to watch the devotion and enthusiasm the Chinese people had to work and develop their country. One day passing a building, next day passing -instead of a building -a deep hole with foundation being laid for large apartment complex. Next day 10 floors higher. Next day ten more stories. Next day outside completed. Landscaping started…. Two days later -grand opening. NOT KIDDING!!!
Amazing!! The world is thankful for China's astonishing progress and achievements in technology, engineering, space explorations, lifting citizens from poverty, peacemaker etc. The whole world is better with Chinese advance. More power to China and its peoples.
I remember it took China 18 months to build its Formular 1 track. Michael Schumacher loved it. ❤ China has a record of building and completing big projects on time.
That is the rose-tinted version. If you want to see the ACTUAL reality of China's construction industry, I suggest you google "tofu-dreg project". The REAL reason China has "world record construction speeds" is because its engineers take unwarranted short cuts with the building of such things.

There are hundreds and hundreds of videos of such things on RU-vid and elsewhere, albeit mostly in Mandarin.

Very true, looking past the propaganda we are feed in the Western world for the most part China seems to move fast with little red tape on mega projects and those projects seem to benefit the people.
Before Covid, my Chinese wife and I took a 2 month motorcycle tour of China and Tibet ... the roads were unbelievable. I lost track of the 5 Km plus tunnels and amazing bridge views we had. The west is 2 or 3 decades behind them.

If your ever visit Shanghai, the local planning office has a 3D miniature model of the entire city and illustrates buildings due for replacement and when. They are coded by colour. There is a footbridge that goes over the layout, which is pretty cool. The detail is amazing. Also helps you figure out where everything is in Shanghai.
I've been living in Shanghai since 2013, and just in these 9 years I've seen the city change right before my eyes. I remember when i lived in my first apartment, they were erecting two new office buildings in tandem in my area, and every day I walked past those buildings they were just so much higher than the day before!
Have you been to cities other than Shanghai? The quality is FAR better in places such as SH, HK, GZ, BJ. Compared to places like where I am and MOST of the country, they are two different worlds completely. A famous example is the hospital in Wuhan. I went to visit it. They had two rooms made to look modern with electricity. The rest we completely barren with no outlets, just concrete tombs. It is no better than just outside tents. Like everything in this country, it is merely surface level.

The point of the "hospital" was to show the effectiveness of the CCP and how caring the government is (news flash, they don't give a shit).

I'm certainly not anti-china considering I am half Chinese though XD

As a construction engineer, this machine is a dream, with simpler , more cost-saving, and safer structure design when you have a such amazing tool at your disposal.
It is truly incredible to watch your video to realize how fast and efficient China can build those roads, railways, tunnels so efficiently and reliably. Thanks for making these videos. you have done a good job.
It took my local ouncil (Australia) 4 weeks to fix a small part of broken footpath in front of my driveway and it took me a month to decide which dresses to wear to a wedding.
That's freaking crazy 😧😧😧 you built something 5 times longer but half the time it takes. That means 10 times more efficient and better quality too. You gotta be kidding me. Not that I didn't know already how crazy they are, but this video just blows my mind one more time.
friend, one thing is to build fast and another very different is to do it with quality and many construction materials in china are of poor quality and this has been well known for a long time now, my father was a civil builder and worked in china for years and He told me that almost half of the constructions in China are made with low quality materials to reduce costs and with little or no quality in the constructions and many of the most modern skyscrapers will not withstand earthquakes...
@@antoniogarcia9648 Do you know out of the 20 biggest infrastructure building companies in the world, China has 16.

This happened recently, Google it. Also check out the bridge Japan built for Vietnam recently and collapsed again. Also search a railway project that was bit by Spain to build a railway on the desert in Middle East, but not capable of building it, guess who they asked for help, China.

Yes, China had major foreign invasions. The most recent one is in 1937-1945. Jpn invasion. The most brutal massacre. The major foreign invasions are Opium wars by U K, Eight Nations Alliance, and the most recent one by Jpn and also the most brutal atrocity that used bioweapon called Unit 731. The film Flowers of War with Christian Bale as the leading character. The film talks about Nanjin Massacre.
The Chinese people have an amazing quality as a culture, where as the people specialize to extreme degrees. I leaned this in my life from a wushu perspective. Qigong and iron palm showed me my first example of this. The records of the Grand Historian shows this aspect even in ancient times. The Chinese people are among the most innovative engineers in the world.
I went to china also As a representative of a multinational I used to visit china every six months First time in Beijing there were all bicycles Ours is a rare car which the company owns On my retirement the last trip There were traffic jams! And very few bicycles Shen zhen was a village when I went On my departure the people in Shen Zen were bigger than hongkong ! Congratulations to the people of china I am proud to be overseas chinese from malaysia There is no substitute for hardworking people The government is important but it is the people who produce ! Congratulations to the people Malaysia used to be great But not anymore We cannot (I mean the people) cannot tell the different peoples and has always sided with the people. Not in terms of productivity but votes The people now sell their votes to the highest player or party Wow ! We have a different government
The amazing quality of absolute submission and total tribal group think. It doesn't matter how many people disappear, get put into reeducation camps, or just die in a horrific way filmed on a 20 megapixel camera. Most of the Chinese People do not represent China, they have tons of amazing evolutionary features (Intelligence wise) and some women are beautiful, but Chinese men are bottom tier looks wise. They went down a different evolution path, putting all their skill points into Intelligence. Hence, the shortness, small penises, lack of morals and lack of value for life. This is only the Southern Chinese, as mongolian and russian blood flows through the northern bloodline.

The fact that the US imposed a virtual ban on the shipment of 7nm & higher semiconductor chips to China, China responded by allocating a staggering $1.48 Trillion dollars in the development of the semiconductor, IoT & AI domestic sector by 2025. They've recruited tens of thousands of engineers worldwide, including from Taiwan to accomplish this. My money is that they will have it before then. These guys get it done when they put their mind into it......how do you compete with that? 🤔
The US banned China from the ISS, China built their own Space Station. France didn't want to sell China their world class wind tunnel, China built the world's fastest wind tunnel themselves. Now, the clown POTUS banned the sale of chips to China, China will produce the world's best chips. In future when China build, manufacture & consume the world's best of everything themselves, let's guess who would be crying foul that China is not buying their stuff - e.g. like Australia. It's a given that China will be ahead and for a long time as they have millions of STEM graduates produced yearly - no country can match them there. Just look at their very young space project commanders compared to the grandfathers of others.

The most inspiring thing about this is China is able to build all these roads, bridges and rail ways in some of the harshest terrains, imagine what they would have accomplish if the had smooth terrain like the USA, by the way the US haven't even constructed a mile of high speed rail yet.
@DKK: "by the way the US haven't even constructed a mile of high speed rail yet" FYI, China's own high speed rail network is a large white elephant which has reportedly already lost over $800 BILLION US dollars.

The US doesn't need high speed rail. It has a far more sophisticated transportation system already, and a wealthy population that can afford to own their own means of transportation. The need for a high speed rail in the first place is not something to be proud of, let alone wasting your money on one. None of the high speed rails the chinese have built have ever turned a profit, and people don't use them. They were just excuses for the ccp to embezzle more money from the people.
China has amazing work power and engineering since ancient time like the Great Wall, the Goujian sword, the temples carved on the edge of the mountain, the Buddha mountain, etc. They must have great education system.
Yes, I am flabbergasted as how they managed to built the temple on top of a steep mountain bearing in mind ther are no such building equipment those ancient times
We could see their fast building tech on the winter Olympics buildings and the COVID hospitals pluming breaking and water pouring trough the light fixtures
It's called slave labor and communism.... Guarantee those putting in all the hard work are not well compensated and the quality of construction is not on par with Western nations.
"Now I got it, thanks." No, you don't. The real reason has nothing to do with technology. China's building speed is and always has been based almost exclusively on its extremely aggressive use of manpower.
A chinese engineering construction company has design and built a highway via duct 8 months ahead of schedule in eastern part of Singapore. This is the speed of chinese construction companies and building technology and you can witness the speed of skyscrappers and condominiums build in some parts of Singapore and Malaysia .
@@IronskullGM I guess you are not a Singaporean. Any main or sub con taking on the jobs will have to first qualify for the standards before embarking. And checks will be main on materials and structural quality throughout the construction process. Failure to comply will see the project cease and may be revoked. So please find out before you sprout. You sounded like a village bum.
That's why Chinese get almost all tenders in Kenya. Their work here is awesome... they're currently doing the Nairobi express way and is almost done ahead of time.
I love this video. Thanks for explaining to the world that Chinese Innovation in construction technology is making it possible to build so quickly. Infrastructure in China is covering the entire country bringing enormous economic benefits to all.

It may not be propaganda, it may just be ignorance. I have lived in China for many many many years. This is simply not the case in China. Some cities such as the tier 1 cities are very very very nice. Outside of those cities it is like entering another world. Many of the construction sites are able to be built quickly because they are empty concrete shells which the renters then need to furnish themselves and burden the cost of putting in electricity.

The China building machines have revolutionized construction of railways, tunnels and buildings. If these machines were used to build the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal of India and the Pyramids of Egypt, the years of hard labor would have been reduced to a breeze of a few weeks. Even the Burj Khalifa of Dubai could have been completed in 1 year instead of 5 years.

My secondary residential street is a pothole-riddled mess. You know where all the money goes to in America? The military, that's where. So we can intervene in other countries' civil wars. Anyway, our roads are falling apart and our rail lines are ancient. The only construction deemed necessary are those on Billionaire's Row to accommodate the super-wealthy. What a waste of money for a small number of people. America has fallen so far behind in construction because almost no one cares or has a sense of pride. I know China is far from being the perfect country but we can certainly learn some useful things from them and adapt some of their skills to help make America great again. We sure could use some new railroads to lessen cross-country truck traffic that tear up the roads neccesary for passenger vehicles.

When we were there in 2013 on holiday, across the hotel, a tall block was being built, we were shocked to see a whole floor of this building ‘grew’ overnight.

A wonder why any major building work/project takes years and billions of taxpayers money, and why our retirement age gets deferred further and farther.
How is it that you observerb what happens in Europe/USA and do not understand that the workers live better lives. In USA, where I am from - The harder and faster you work, "The Sooner You are UNEMPLOYED": The buildings cost no less to the eventual owner and they do not charge less money to use the serves from the building. So if you do not get the funds from working and hold them in your bank account - "You Impovish your Family": PS: The other families can take care of themselves - If they choose to not build for the "Rainy Day": THIS IS CAPITALISM - "Those who chase shoes today will find they can not have pants in the future".
@Roland Skelcher: I suggest you google "tofu-dreg project" to see the ACTUAL reality.

There are hundreds and hundreds of videos of such things on RU-vid and elsewhere, albeit mostly in Mandarin.
a good video on one of the aspects why China excels in mega construction. The other aspects include a motivated and disciplined workforce, and a balanced and efficient approach to mediating conflicting concerns. If the US wants to be successful in Build Back Better, she probably has no problem in inventing / adopting best technologies to achieve the task; but the American people need to be motivated to help it succeed, not litigating everything to death; and the government needs to learn to be accountable. If the Americans consider the freedom to resist and obstruct and even smear at will a fundamental value, then don't even bother - Build Back Better would only be plagued by budget overruns, repeatedly missed deadlines, and lackluster results.
for the american builders to go overseas, they will demand double or triple pay, housing and living allowance, and other perks and comforts of stateside living - driving the project costs up. Chinese builders in the BRI or any overseas project will just live in shacks or prefab housing beside the project/construction.

There were civilisations lost in the asteroid impacts 11600& 12800 years ago, so civilisation here is definitely older than that, it just got lost in natural disasters & time. Hear out Randall Carlson s argument
China uses the same amount of concrete in 2 years as the US in the whole 20th century, so if China's building doesn't fail 50 times as often as the US, I call it a win for China
China has 5 times the population of the US's and up until 4 decades ago, China's main transportations were bicycles. China might be using up lots of resources so far, but if you works out resources/costs per head, the US still uses much, much more than China's. Not to mentions, if the US was to build the equivalents of China had, the time, the cost, the resources per head will be many times more!
@@SeekTheTruthJesus So you are talking about the Mexicans in the USA when you are talking slave labour and why are you congratulating your Horrible USA. I am confused as you are burning your self. I also recall you had a bridge collapse in Florida like a 1 day after construction because you hired 6 woke women engineers to design it.
