Constructing China
Posted by Servscen on December 15, 2008
China, the sleeping giant is gently awaking. I had the chance to visit a place in China called Panzihua.
Taking a train going there, I saw that villages are rising up in what used to be rice paddies. Yes, China is in a building frenzy.
I saw at least two separate places where big construction projects were taking place. Trucks, cranes and gravel screening machines were busy carrying soil, sand and cement. I guess it was a big mall constructed in one area and a new city in the other.
I even saw a big mansion constructed in a small remote town. For just one residence, it took a construction company to bring in huge construction trucks, gravel screeners and a portable screening plant. Wow, these nouveau rich are really having the time of their lives!
The Chinese are also heavily investing in English education and a lot of people from richer countries like USA, Canada and Australia are flocking there to teach English for a hefty salary. If one visits a big city like Beijing and China, it would not be uncommon to see ordinary people in expensive signature wears.
I would not be surprised to see China becoming a superpower in the future. With its more than one billion people, it already has power in its hands even now.
