What you see is in short time, what China see is LONG range of time. In a long run, most of China's investment will be returned, maybe in different form
By the way, this may sound racist, but it is NOT. Chinese are MORE diligent, working harder, by and large, than MOST of people in S. America or Africa. I know a Chinese, who went to an African country set up a factory. He spent ONE whole year, did nothing, but tried to convince those local workers when their schedule is 8am starting, they cannot come at 9am. Those local people just could not understand why they had to come in as scheduled. LOL.
Many constructions by China to Africa , had to use China's labor force, but that is for a REASON! Otherwise, NO guarantee for the quality.
As for high speed rail, I think China should understand, HSR is NOT for most of the countries, period! They already stopped marketing HSR to S. American countries, as far as I know. It is ok to EU or some S. Eastern countries, where has very a high pop. density. I am SOOOO glad that China lost the bid for India's HSR, and it won by Japan. India's HSR is Bound to be a BIG money losing business, LOL |
