#4 In a related scheme, when the Transcontinental Railroad was being built, both companies were throwing down anything basically they could get their hands on, as the gov’t paid them as well as signed over vast land tracts for each mile of track laid. In many cases, cottonwood ties didn’t last a year. And the gov’t was aware of this practice. As well as making circuitous routings for completing even more miles. Once the check cleared, so to speak, crews went in and did a realignment as well as replacing crappy bits.

#5 All these projects are built to the same high standards that China uses for its own projects. I expect that success of Belt and Road despite the results of these projects always being horrible is predicated on a combination of intimidation and bribery.

#6 Is anyone surprised that China builds faulty everything?

Communism is one large fraud and only lasts as long as they can get away with it.

#8 ^ Fortunately, everything was overspecced on a project like that.
