Some of those buildings are horrific and megalomaniac.

China's poorest province, Guizhou, has gathered the majority of the world's highest bridges.
6000km control-accessed expressway in 2015, 10,000km in 2020s.

Guiyang City, Capital of Guizhou Province
2 high-speed railways in 2015 (Shanghai-Guiyang, Guiyang-Guangzhou)

One county in Guizhou, Panxian County

Qiannan autonomous prefecture of Buyi and Miao nationalities

Guizhou Province is like the lowest wood piece of a barrel....
Without the inclusive growth in Guizhou, the dragon's rejuvenation is meaningless.

The world has never ever seen such a construction boom like we see now in China. Just say something is impossible to be built and the Chinese will prove you wrong.

AIIB will help all developing countries to build it and enjoy the real inclusive growth!

Yep!
FAST telescope is located in Pingtang County of Guizhou Province, Southwest China.
China's poorest province is adopting quite a different path of development....
China's tech giants choose this province as their prime investment destinations of cloud technology.

Pingtang County, Qiannan Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province
2:05 FAST

Define "wonder".....

One of the many bridges in my city...
When it opened, locals didn't give a damn...
Another bridge, whatever.....a norm in our life in Wuhan

Very high expressway bridge?
Not even among top20 in China

Not even among top40 in China

Will replace the current number one world's highest

Such infra to the majority of Chinese is only one part of their normal life...
Only infra fans like me know what's really happening everywhere across the whole nation.....

a norm in China but would be a bragging piece for Canadians in the local newspaper for weeks. A politician cutting some ceremonial ribbon at a nothing event is newsworthy here.

The more popular event here is to invite relatives of the drivers and builders to take the first journey....
Sometimes they will invite public workers like cleaners and gardeners, migrant workers, children from the orphanage....Like in my city for the new high-speed railway

One section of The Silk Road High-speed Railway opens on 10 September, Chinese HSRs reach 20,000km

It says, fathers are the most handsome....

No, our government rather pose for pictures and fashion magazine

Well, Canada is one of the most developed countries in the world with a much higher standard of living than China and is basically a country that doesn't need such structures to be built as it's infrastructural (and any other) needs are already met. At the same time Canadian economy is much smaller but so are it's population and potential. Prices and wages are much higher which also makes it much more expensive to build things than in China. Anyway it's impressive to see things being built in such a large scale and quantity.

I'm more for a meritocracy-based government like Singapore as opposed to populist face-based.
