Fastest Train
Fast train, big dam show China's engineering might :
HANGZHOU, China –
China rolled out its fastest train yet on Tuesday and announced that the Three Gorges Dam, the world's biggest hydroelectric project, is now generating electricity at maximum capacity — engineering triumphs that signal the nation's growing ambitions as its economy booms.
The successes demonstrate how, after decades of acquiring technology from the west, Beijing has begun to push the limits of its new capabilities, setting the bar higher on mega-projects as it seeks to promote the image of a powerful, modern China. But many of these initiatives have come at great human and environmental cost, and some have questioned whether the country fosters a sufficiently innovative spirit to compete on the next level.

"But many of these initiatives have come at great human and environmental cost"
Isn't this how the US made itself great. To achieve , you must have focus and singlemidedness of purpose. China has that. As for innovation, China is slowly coming out of its shell. It now has the fastest supercomputer in the World.

Sustainable and intelligent development, just like in the GCC countries?
Not quite:
In China, hard work, generates wealth that is then invested in developing the country in accordance with an actual need, and so goes the progress cycle.
In the GCC countries… well money is freely poured out from the soil, not resulting from hard work, its wasted the way we can all see…
The GREAT CHINA and it's discoveries(would be better to say LOW COST inventions)...lol
excellent!
very odd shape though !
They are silent movers.They have a silent agenda of taking over the world and they are really good at it because their citizens are cooperative too.Hats off to China.
