I wrote a piece on China a couple of weeks ago but seem to have lost it. But in that research I concluded, rightly I think, that China's emphasis has been on two things....industrial development, proven beyond doubt and social progress.
Now while all of this was going on and likely to continue into the next four years, in the in the USA in the reign of a new person like Trump, concentrating on doing what he has obviously promised in Israel and the odd war of expansion, of course (Venezuela, Iran, Panama, Greenland, Canada..... all these game plays), this Chinese development will continue......for another four years. No wars; no expansive plans; no power plays; no subservience to another hated country like Israel and on.
So not only have the important priorities been maintained, they will continue on while the US goes its own ways, downhill.
But it was the tunnels, bridges, new developments, highways that took my attention, a British writer in the auto industry stating that such roads and highways, unrestricted by the need for tunnels and bridges that was one of the wonders of the world, some designs literally almost out of this world.
Don't know if you have see many examples Jenny, but it is miraculous.
Took a set of objectives to do all that and it appears they will continue.
Jenny,

A peasant country in 1945. Hard to believe
Wonderful to see most of this BUT getting rid of the 'hutongs' in Beiijing was painful.
Such wonderful old houses and communities. Everyone shared.
Luckily I took pics. before they all disappeared.
