Maybe the union workers who build our infrastructure should take a 98% paycut so we can be just like China

For all you parents of seven-year-olds, you better get them into the factory, because that’s “how China does it”.

Also, China’s obsession with the EPA/environmental concerns are legendary. (Sarcasm)

I guess Dear Leader hasn't been keeping up with the Chinese news. Their elevated roads and train systems collapse after a few years of service. The Chinese don't seem to know that concrete needs to be mixed just so in order for it to have strength. They also haven't used many pre-stressed members in their construction. Their roads will wreck your kidneys if you drive too fast.

From time to time their buildings also tend to topple over before they are finished.

Well, his is right, I suppose. It is great that we don't do infrastructure like the Chinese.

Its those cracks in the brand-spanking new Three Gorges Dam that I’d worry about.

What “both”? I see only one. One-party rule for far longer than we care to admit.

I bet he hasn’t looked at rural China lately.

Or some of the dirty, polluted cities where trash is floating in the rivers.
