Ah...... I was being sarcastic?
I know that China's " advanced" infrastructure has only been around for about 20 or so years, and that it was necessary for production and shipping of exported "slave wage paid" and or forced labor produced goods.
I also know that there is almost no private industry there.
In any case, we being the largest importer of China's goods ( via "Wal- Mart") our own people have been paying for all of China's "advanced Infrastructure" of which Obama is so envious of.
Too bad he didn't see any of the other provinces outside of Beijing. He might have come away with a far different opinion of China.
Same with China. The government factories and the infrastructure around that is just OK, but most of the country, about 95% of it, lives in grass huts, walks around in rags, no electricity and no running water. Didn't you see the photos of all those huts squashed in the Earthquake, before they forced the TVs out of the area? There is still something over 5 million living in cardboard boxes from that little failure of infrastructure.
Infrastructure is a liberal joke word for government make work jobs.
