I've seen projects built all over the world with lots of enthusiasm and funding, soon to be abandoned by lack of real need, and dwindling resources. Infrastructure requires maintenance, and when both need and resources depart, maintenance funds and attention are seldom extended. The China infrastructure boom is typical of other types of "booms". I can't be overwhelmingly positive (and every positive thing has it's DOWN side) because I am on the side of history. China might be an exception? I doubt it, considering China's history, too. --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > > > Â i went on the fast bullet train in 2008..from shanghai to the airport..7 > minutes..amazing..why are you being negative?...merle > > > Â > Merle, > > I think it's just possible that a lot of those "projects" are going to lead > an early slum-life. > > (something to watch). > > --Joe > > > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@> wrote: >
