This was a country that just thirty years ago had few cars and didn't even have a modern road network. Now eastern China has freeways extending from Shanghai to Beijing.

And as bad as those freeways are (I know, I live half my life in Shanghai, and drive those roads regularly) they're STILL better than the freeways here in Seattle!

You could say the same thing about 1960's USA.
