I’m going to be honest and this isn’t about political stance or debates. But for some reason, I used to be subconsciously wired to think Chinese engineering was inferior and not up to standard (you can probably immediately guess where I’m from). But seeing documentaries like this show how the Chinese are some top notch builders, conquering tough terrain challenges that dwarf what most have to overcome. Of course people immediately jump to the quality of such endeavors, which is rightfully warranted. I just look at how regardless of differences, when brains come together, true progress and success are the outcome. And don’t try to “insult” me as being some “Chinese sympathizer”. I’m simply giving credit where it’s due.
Quality is better than the West. They have much higher budget for infrastucture not for warfare. Plus they are using cutting edge technology and modern high standard equipment, massive organized logistics. they are fast, reliable and efficient. No union, no bureaucracy, the Government can allocate resources and manpower quickly and can aquire lands with no court orders, lengthy court hearings and endless political debates. Look I lived in Shenzen, HongKong and worked in Europe and U.S for 8+ years originally from Malaysia and I can say China is so different from the West. Their thinking is not about race, religion, internal conflict or politics, heck they don't even think about the U.S that much they don't hate Americans they just dislike the U.S government. They don't have that much societal isues like gun violence, hate speech, mass shootings, racism, gang violence, homelessness, housing crisis, gender issues and all issues facing the west. The Chinese just mind their own business and keep to themselves. Most of the time all their care about is how to make money, work and how to make China better. I always say this, China have a mind of an old wise man, doesn't like to cause trouble, just want to live and protect it's families legacy and the future of it's dynasty. They don't care about childish things like internet, news , global and political DRAMA.. that is always seem to be happening with western people. Life in China is drama-free.
It's because this "documentary" is sponsored BY CHINA !!! (why do you think it's free?) The Three Gorges dam is slipping on it's foundations and may be ready to collapse!

They are going through the boom phase where they grow and grow. At such scale, the scary part will come when growth stops.

@@Rexvideowow If you have enough common sense, you will know that maintenance can be done with only a small annual investment.

According to the Chinese Premier, who Xi Jinping just had removed from office, China has over 600 million of its' citizens living in abject poverty, earning less than 140USD /month ( 1680/yr). China is one of the few countries which have an even greater income equality gap than the US. So, despite the picture of success this video portrays, the average chinese earn a bit over $12,000.00 /yr. As to the quality of construction engineering in China, they had 37 bridge and tunnel collapses just last month. Chinese officials in Henan Province were arrested fro trying to hide the death toll in a tunnel that flooding die to design and engineering failures. Original report claimed 12 fatalities which after investigation uncovered nearly 400 additional deaths with over 50 missing (presumed dead). This is not a "Free Documentary," since it was paid for by the CCP.

As a woman, I'm thankful to all the men that worked on all these infrastructure projects. And I'm thankful to all the women that looked after the children and cooked meals for the hardworking men on all these dangerous construction projects
I came to LA in the late 70s. There was an article mentioned to construct a high speed train from LA to Las Vegas in the mid 80s in the Los Angeles Times. It is still nothing after 40 years.
Absolutely amazed by the breathtaking achievements showcased in this video! China's remarkable transportation projects reflect incredible engineering prowess and technological advancement.
This is hardwork and cooperation combined. If every villager worked hard but didn't cooperate (due to mistrust, personal interests, NIMBY, or some other reason), the couldn't have been built. If they cooperated but not worked hard, so much growth would not have been possible.
China’s technology achievement has been hailed by many experts and has become one of the world’s leading infrastructure projects ever seen that China 🇨🇳 can made these by their own initiative.
In Delhi they are building a flyover on the main road where traffic is heavy and it will take one year to build it, for that whole year commuters will have to suffer the traffic congestion because of construction work, if they did it like China and it would have been built in 1 week.
the diffeence is , the chinese are disciplined and work, finishing their task mainly on time... In Delhi... Well , only those who have been there know what i mean... ONe year? hehehe. more like 3...
MAIN reason why is the ATTITUDE of the PAY MASTER ( The CCP ). Pay master MAIN goal to to PROVIDE services for PUBLIC Convenience. Thus during Construction ... Always MINIMISE inconvenience to PUBLIC. Thus Contractor has to ALWAYS put a) Safety of Work b) Speed with MINIMIUM inconvenience to PUBLIC c) Ascetics and Practicality of Project. d) Etc.. Main POINT is that ...."PUBLIC IS KING !!!!! ". If Public makes a COMPLAIN to Govn , the Contractor will be investigated and REPLACE when found guilty. However in MANY Construction Projects ... The Main Contractor with Engineering/Design Consultants are the ONE CALLING the SHOTS. Thus Main Contractor can literally do what he wants!!! Cost Over runs, Delays, Environmental studies, NGO, etc.
I am so happy to see there are still someone use words like "tofu-dreg projects". Plz, plz all of you guys still remains in such impression, and continue broadcast such views about China to worlds. LOL.
That’s because the workers demand fair wages and benefits! Not to mention safety regulations as well! That 5km of road way could be achieved very quickly if the workers quality of life didn’t matter 😂
@@apemancommeth8087 copium. we clearly have a broken system here. you say "unfair" wages, yet they are developing their country for the benefit of their future countrymen. They are making sacrifices to build a better future, something we could learn from over here. Everyone is so selfish in canada and worried about themselves. They dont care about building a better future for our children.
@@macberg5806 it’s called a first world problem, we need to import our low wage workers and for those jobs that are grueling and dangerous because no one is willing to work those jobs! Poor countries, the people there are just happy to earn something and are willing to work more risky difficult jobs because comparatively they can make more than their counterparts! I’m sure your not telling your kids to skip college to work a grunt job!
I can only imagine what it must be like in the first few weeks of a project on this scale. It must feel overwhelming. But once it nears completion the pride would also be overwhelming.
China firstly has the courage and the brains to undertake such projects. With the nation fully connected by logistics infrastructure and eventually the realization of very cheap energy from the Thorium nuclear stations; her mission to be an advanced technological and a very balanced-social nation seems achievable. Let's wait and see this exciting future!
Road projects to this scale in Canada will take 20 yrs to plan, 5 yrs for consult with local municipalities, fighting who is getting bigger share and who is getting more fund from federal government, then another 3 years to decide the alignment, then another 2 years to finalize, then another 5 years to clear regulatory hurdles, including protests from environmental activists, court injunction orders, local complains. At last they realized that they will face huge budget overruns and what is the extra fund coming from….
That bridge he shows in the thumbnail literally fell down when they were trying to build it. Chinese construction is now starting to fail and their are videos all over the internet showing they destroy environments and build cheaply, because most of what they do is COPY.
Bro, the Great Wall of china is a testament of the Chinese people’s persistence. I’m not surprise…, They’re able boi😁❤️. Well, all people have the capacity, but Chinese takes on some seemingly impossible feasts.
Being there speaking in metric and we are imperial I'm always in here on my phone doing conversion so they said it was $22 billion yuan "yn" so I can converted to hat into USD, that comes to 3 billion 2 million $3.02 billion USD. So in my opinion they built that infrastructure actually pretty flipping cheap when all is said and done. And I was also really shocked to find out that the Chinese market only started building cellular phone components for global use in 2014 I thought they had started it back in like 2005
High speed trains are the way to go for long and mid range distances, moving large numbers of people quick and safely across cities and town linking and expanding developments and productivity. Well done China.
China is three years behind Taiwanese TSMC (as in 2024). By the ways, both sides of the Taiwan straits are Chinese ethnic stocks. Chinese as a whole has achieved miracles other ethnicities and race can only dream of. 😂😁
I often wondered where China's developments and advancements as a nation would be today if the Chinese Emperor Xuando didn't issued the Edict of Haijin in 1434 that closed China off from the rest of the world. It was arguably one of the worst decisions ever made for China but one can also argued that the decision may have saved China from the same fates as the Romans, Egyptians, Persians going extinct when the populations out grows the resources to feed them.
China already can’t feed its population, that’s why they are desperately trying to buy up American, African, Brazilian etc. farmland! Than they trade for the remainder! Also china is also doing some really dangerous things like building a multilevel farm facility that can produce more than 40,000 pigs from piglet to pork chops that western countries fear will be the next vector for disease to spread! Personally I find it interesting and I hope they are successful because it saves so much space! Remember that the pigs NEVER see the outside world ever!
I can't imaging If he didn't lock China from the rest of the western power. More opium and nation debt will be high raised. Perhaps more slave will be exported.
Unreal how fast they build stuff. How’s the quality is what I question. When humans work together for goodness great stuff happens, massive achievement in short amount of time. Cool share!.
It is time you lay to rest the old stereotype that China does not build quality stuffs. China built the great wall with no modern equipment 3000 years ago, and it is still standing.
They actually have better railways and roads than we got in Canada and the US . Our construction companies prefer to work slowly for profits, just because it takes longer to build doesn’t mean it’s gonna be high quality. We still have potholes after 3 years on the same roads that took 3 years to build
Quality is better than the West. They have much higher budget for infrastucture not for warfare. Plus they are using cutting edge technology and modern high standard equipment, they are fast, reliable and efficient. No union, no beaurocracy, the Government can allocate resources and manpower quickly and can aquire lands with no court orders and hearings.
Also there is now a way from Beijing thru .....Xian, to Lhasa, Tibet. And even on to Shigatse, and a 2 lane very very lonely (where do you get gas/recharge EV?) all the way to Kashgar, I think. And you could go on from there across Karkoram highway into Pakistan.
you correct, not only Toronto, it is Canada can not produce a fraction of this infrastructure. The bigger problem in Canada is the barriers they put against the foreign engineers or doctors , nurses , mechanics or accountants citing the Canadian experience and designations are far superior to any other country. Second is lack of national infrastructure policy. all left to the cities and provinces fighting with each other. The end is what we see now of crumbling infrastructure, such as the 401 and 400 or auto-route 20 or 40 in Quebec. Wake up Canada and look outside and learn from others
LOL I've managed many "foreign" engineers in Canada. That's a polite term for babysitting, so they don't hurt themselves or anyone else. They're trash. Incompetent, uneducated, barely literate. I don't know who they paid off to earn domestic certification but they certainly don't deserve it. But oh boy do they work cheap!
Videos like this show how jealous people are of china. A quick glance at the comments and I see a bunch of trolls. Even though Im not chinese it seems funny how this is in almost every video about china
The situation of China is very different from other nations. There is Taiwan having a large number of paid net keyboard warriors who bad mouth whatever the mainland China does.
I don’t know if that is good or bad for India. Do you think they will have enough food? China had a one-child policy for over three decades, because they had trouble feeding their population. That policy kept the population from exploding. If not, the current population in China would have been over 1.8 billion. Even now, food security is the second priority. The first priority is energy in China.
INDIA wants to say they are better. But this evidence shows that CHINA is far more advance than India's infrastructures , management and technology. With these advances, China can progress much more rapidly and efficiently. India cannot argue with this ; NO WAY ! ! !

Through out history, if Chinese people suffered, they didn’t believe less government, they always demanded more intervention. It’s a culture thing. It works. You can believe whatever due to your history and culture, but in China’s case, central government is very essential in many things. Everyone is different in what will work, but it’s good to consider the alternative occasionally.
@@sudonim9398 I don’t know who you are talking about, US or China. If it’s China, then I have no idea what you meant by infrastructure spending cause more death, seems like weird logic. I assume you have no true understanding on how China was able to weather through the multiple global economic crisis in the past few decades including the 2008 financial crisis. Without the government spending, China would not have stable growth for decades, the external crisis every few years would have destroyed economic growth multiple times. Plus, I feel like you know every little about economy and finance especially in the global terms. China’s economic policy are set by many elite experts, I rather trust them based on their track record so far. Your words mean nothing since you couldn’t provide sound logic nor facts, what you said were facts were still just your opinions. I didn’t say you can’t have failures with gov intervention of the economy, I said, everyone is different, everyone is different, nothing is absolute, and cultural difference and local conditions matter. Everyone should focus on solving their own problems, not judging, interfering and defaming others to gain and to preserve its power. Currently, US internally and externally is doing way more of these judging, bulling, interfering and defaming. It’s difficult to watch honestly.

India is 5th richest country by gdp but our per capita gdp is less than Venezuela, Srilanka, Bhtuan, Bangladesh, Namibia, Congo and other African countries. So basically we are counted as poor country.

And for those will counter me with populations... I acknowledge that our population is huge but let's have some dignity, at least our per capita should be more than the bankrupt and poor nation around the world otherwise if Bangladesh's population and size were same as of us they would also have claimed to be the next superpower, then what's the difference between us and countries like pakistan and bangladesh.

The long Island Railroad in New York was completely refurbished by Chinese in record time using Chinese workers and quality of work was at the highest level. Yet there were no safety infraction or worker injuries recorded on that project. The project required a similar railroad bridge over a very busy intersection in the city was completely dusmanteked and replaced over a period of 48 hours. There were no worker injury and the quality of work was unquestionable. I think it's more than worker abuse and cheap labor. The chinese has been able to achieve such efficiency and quality due to the country's very strict laws against worker abuse, drug use, and most important of all is interest rates on loans. That's what the western media doesnt want to tell you. The Chinese maximum interest rate on commercial loans is 5%. In western countries banking That's around 12 to 18%. The high cost of production ih western countries is all about the cost of funds than the cost of labor, worker abuse or any other excuses used to distract the public from the truth. What % of the cost of the contract is influrnced by labor cost? Compare that to funding!? That's why they discontinue the teaching of economics in colleges. You need to get curious!!
In the U.S. and other developed countries they have requirements that China doesn't believe are needed. The do the construction yet independent 3rd party oversees the construction and signs off before they start another part. Materials come from certified vendor and standards are constantly checked. Workers are qualified for their task and nothing else. This is the reason why they have not been doing projects in U.S. and developed countries

Today, most major cities in China have issues regarding the lack of drainage systems and stormwater management, resulting in floods and other water-related problems all across China. China's ancestor's knew the importance and necessity city drainage and stormwater management, they have buildings thousands of years old that have excellent well engineered drainage that proves this. ~ CCP's priorities are wrong, it should FIRST build stormwater/sewer management systems into their cities and urban areas to prevent flooding, protect lives, property, crops and then the government can focus on mass transit, freeways, passenger, freight rail and High Speed Rail. ~ Stormwater/sewer management systems are the basic building blocks necessary for the foundations of all city structures. ~ If the Chinese people had to choose between having good drainage or High Speed Rail, I'm sure the Chinese people would choose good stormwater drainage systems that protect their lives, their crops, and their property than High Speed Rail!

According to the Chinese Premier, who Xi Jinping just had removed from office, China has over 600 million of its' citizens living in abject poverty, earning less than 140USD /month ( 1680/yr). China is one of the few countries which have an even greater income equality gap than the US. So, despite the picture of success this video portrays, the average chinese earn a bit over $12,000.00 /yr. As to the quality of construction engineering in China, they had 37 bridge and tunnel collapses just last month. Chinese officials in Henan Province were arrested fro trying to hide the death toll in a tunnel that flooding die to design and engineering failures. Original report claimed 12 fatalities which after investigation uncovered nearly 400 additional deaths with over 50 missing (presumed dead). This is not a "Free Documentary," since it was paid for by the CCP.
@@daveesser231 Lol, this is such a pathetic cope.

Also just love how you pick one example to negate the development of a country of 1.4 billion people. By that logic, what happened during the Katrina disaster must also represent all of the US infrastructures as well? The least you can do in a global competition is to not to underestimate your opponent. But keep listening to "YT experts" such as "serpentza" or Zeihan and bury your head in the sand, because to people like you, pride is much more important than reality.

It's bad then any city in other States
Traffic

Weather is not
High cost of living
MAIN reason why is the ATTITUDE of the PAY MASTER ( The CCP ). Pay master MAIN goal to to PROVIDE services for PUBLIC Convenience. Thus during Construction ... Always MINIMISE inconvenience to PUBLIC. Thus Contractor has to ALWAYS put a) Safety of Work b) Speed with MINIMIUM inconvenience to PUBLIC c) Ascetics and Practicality of Project. d) Etc.. Main POINT is that ...."PUBLIC IS KING !!!!! ". If Public makes a COMPLAIN to Govn , the Contractor will be investigated and REPLACE when found guilty. However in MANY Construction Projects ... The Main Contractor with Engineering/Design Consultants are the ONE CALLING the SHOTS. Thus Main Contractor can literally do what he wants!!! Cost Over runs, Delays, Environmental studies, NGO, etc.

Salute to the Chinese workers! They have a motto which goes: 答案总比问题多 Dá'àn zǒng bǐ wèntí duō. Translation: there are more answers than questions.
I often wondered where China's developments and advancements as a nation would be today if the Chinese Emperor Xuando didn't issued the Edict of Haijin in 1434 that closed China off from the rest of the world.
It was arguably one of the worst decisions ever made for China but one can also argued that the decision may have saved China from the same fates as the Romans, Egyptians, Persians going extinct when the populations out grows the resources to feed them.
China already can’t feed its population, that’s why they are desperately trying to buy up American, African, Brazilian etc. farmland! Than they trade for the remainder! Also china is also doing some really dangerous things like building a multilevel farm facility that can produce more than 40,000 pigs from piglet to pork chops that western countries fear will be the next vector for disease to spread! Personally I find it interesting and I hope they are successful because it saves so much space! Remember that the pigs NEVER see the outside world ever!
US is doing the same MISTAKES as Ming, prohibitING trade AROUND the world
Romans, Egyptians and Persians are definitely not extinct.

It is time you lay to rest the old stereotype that China does not build quality stuffs. China built the great wall with no modern equipment 3000 years ago, and it is still standing.
They actually have better railways and roads than we got in Canada and the US . Our construction companies prefer to work slowly for profits, just because it takes longer to build doesn’t mean it’s gonna be high quality. We still have potholes after 3 years on the same roads that took 3 years to build

Also there is now a way from Beijing thru .....Xian, to Lhasa, Tibet. And even on to Shigatse, and a 2 lane very very lonely (where do you get gas/recharge EV?) all the way to Kashgar, I think. And you could go on from there across Karkoram highway into Pakistan.
Actually it may loop back to Chengdu, Sichuan, but not sure how many lanes. Quite remote thru there (Myanmar, Kawagebo/Deqen).
They don’t believe in wearing safety glasses for the most part is seems. Amazing work 😮
you correct, not only Toronto, it is Canada can not produce a fraction of this infrastructure. The bigger problem in Canada is the barriers they put against the foreign engineers or doctors , nurses , mechanics or accountants citing the Canadian experience and designations are far superior to any other country. Second is lack of national infrastructure policy. all left to the cities and provinces fighting with each other. The end is what we see now of crumbling infrastructure, such as the 401 and 400 or auto-route 20 or 40 in Quebec. Wake up Canada and look outside and learn from others

I assume you have no true understanding on how China was able to weather through the multiple global economic crisis in the past few decades including the 2008 financial crisis. Without the government spending, China would not have stable growth for decades, the external crisis every few years would have destroyed economic growth multiple times. Plus, I feel like you know every little about economy and finance especially in the global terms. China’s economic policy are set by many elite experts, I rather trust them based on their track record so far. Your words mean nothing since you couldn’t provide sound logic nor facts, what you said were facts were still just your opinions.
I didn’t say you can’t have failures with gov intervention of the economy, I said, everyone is different, everyone is different, nothing is absolute, and cultural difference and local conditions matter. Everyone should focus on solving their own problems, not judging, interfering and defaming others to gain and to preserve its power. Currently, US internally and externally is doing way more of these judging, bulling, interfering and defaming. It’s difficult to watch honestly.

The long Island Railroad in New York was completely refurbished by Chinese in record time using Chinese workers and quality of work was at the highest level. Yet there were no safety infraction or worker injuries recorded on that project. The project required a similar railroad bridge over a very busy intersection in the city was completely dusmanteked and replaced over a period of 48 hours. There were no worker injury and the quality of work was unquestionable. I think it's more than worker abuse and cheap labor. The chinese has been able to achieve such efficiency and quality due to the country's very strict laws against worker abuse, drug use, and most important of all is interest rates on loans. That's what the western media doesnt want to tell you.
The Chinese maximum interest rate on commercial loans is 5%. In western countries banking That's around 12 to 18%. The high cost of production ih western countries is all about the cost of funds than the cost of labor, worker abuse or any other excuses used to distract the public from the truth. What % of the cost of the contract is influrnced by labor cost? Compare that to funding!? That's why they discontinue the teaching of economics in colleges. You need to get curious!!

Today, most major cities in China have issues regarding the lack of drainage systems and stormwater management, resulting in floods and other water-related problems all across China. China's ancestor's knew the importance and necessity city drainage and stormwater management, they have buildings thousands of years old that have excellent well engineered drainage that proves this. ~ CCP's priorities are wrong, it should FIRST build stormwater/sewer management systems into their cities and urban areas to prevent flooding, protect lives, property, crops and then the government can focus on mass transit, freeways, passenger, freight rail and High Speed Rail. ~ Stormwater/sewer management systems are the basic building blocks necessary for the foundations of all city structures. ~ If the Chinese people had to choose between having good drainage or High Speed Rail, I'm sure the Chinese people would choose good stormwater drainage systems that protect their lives, their crops, and their property than High Speed Rail!

Pause @ 20:02 - They were paying guys to just stand there and hold Electric Lights up for everyone else.... Let that sink in.. They were building a Train Tunnel, through a Mountain, but couldn't think of Electrical Lights with Stands. ... It's just a Metal Tripod.
That was in 1958.
@@laughingkor8643 we put machine guns on mounts before lights i guess
Yes but this was only for the photo the rest of the time it was very very dim.
lol! sourgrapes. And yet they built infrastructures criss-crossing their country in 30 years. Your california HSR and the China HSR system just about planned to build it at the same time iaround 2007. China have about 40,000 km of line now with the first line in operation in 2008, california still have to layout a single km of track.

China has returned to be the greatest nation on Earth 🌎🇨🇳 Again ❤
High-speed rails, with their standard of workmanship? I wouldn't step foot on it.
During my regular business trips to China prior to the lockdown in 2019, the high speed rail is my preferred mode of transport. Mind blowing how smooth the ride is, even at 350 kmh.
there's actually no workmanship .. its entire built on automation . heck, do you actually know about construction -
@@ssrae-2229 Does it make less of an achievement?
ive been on it already....
it was amazing...saw the stations ,huge,whole thing was quite astounding.
and the road,crikey ,they wind through the valleys and mountain ,huge bridges everywhere...
meanwhile,here in uk,supposed to be modern and highly advanced,we cant build high speed rail,no longer build ferry,...we cant even build a tram in scotland that can reach its intended destination.(yes,i said TRAM,not a train. !!!! 😭😭😭
You keep your words, I enjoyed the ride.
Nice video
