>"I'm just amazed at how China is moving forward where other countries (looking at you, USA) simply cannot."
Can you explain this comment? China is not building rail networks in Africa for altruistic purposes, their primary interest in Africa's natural resources. How does that relate to the US in any way?
>"Also: environment is happier."
Have you been to a Chinese city recently? Beijing or Shanghai? They are choked with cars despite having good rail infrastructure. In fact China is the largest producer of cars the planet right now. There are times when your lungs hurt at the end of the day. People wearing air pollution masks is normal.
Also you are comparing a centrally planned economy full of SOEs(state owned enterprises) controlled by the Communist Party with a free market economy, they are nothing alike.
>"What's their secret"
There is no secret, the economy is centrally controlled by a single political party that can not be voted out of power.
