Yeah when I read the question, “construction” is definitely not one of the things that came to my mind. The work is simply too demanding, so many people involved, deadlines, work under the sun, in general I think building is hard work. I can see a structural engineer or consultant having a nice life-balance tho.

Comparing China to Russia is laughable.

One has a competent government the other doesn’t.

There’s plenty of info of African leaders thanking China approach in Africa. African leaders are not dumb , if China offers a better credit card and infrastructure plans than some western countries they will choose that. Yes, it’s that simple.

As a non-native English speaker, suddenly I feel more proud of myself.

I love China, and have a generally positive opinion about their government. I’d say 70% positive and the other 30% is because I hate oppression and censorship.

Edit: Deng was the GOAT
