Chinese government can print an infinite amount of Yuan out of thin air.
That’s not how any of this works. Sure they can do that, but they cannot control the effects of having done so.

I would say that there’s quite a lot of reason to believe that infrastructure investments can be one of the best ways to help poor people rise economically. Which has obvious paybacks.

This still requires creating infrastructure that is actually needed, otherwise it’s just wasting money.

A feature of rail is very high building costs. If they wasted money on building HSR on a lot of places where it’s not needed, this means there’s gonna be a debt that never gets paid by the utilization of the rail.
So it’s not about maintenance, but the up-front cost.

I once was in a lunch group where one of the people honestly asked the restaurant staff about wifi, standing almost next to this sign. The guy smugly pointed at the sign and said nothing.
It was cringy for everyone involved.

People are in their bubbles. People who say that woke is bad are shit. People who say that woke is great are shit. The concept is being used for good and bad for cynically manipulating people to be at each others’ throats all the time because that’s how fucked up shit companies make amazing amounts of money these days apparently.

Sure, of course, and not liking things can be done without psychoanalyzing the author and it does not require feeling superior to them.
