Yes, democracies are inefficient. Any private citizen has the right to take their appeal to the courts. The government is not allowed to ride roughshod over the populace. This is why countries with an extremely strong and non-democratic central government can uproot entire segments of their population, taking away their property rights, and forcing their removal, all in the order to build new infrastructure. Yes, this might improve the country for the majority of its population, but in a mature democracy, the individual has retained their power to affect the government and its ability to force change on its citizens. Selfish maybe, but a good and strong democracy must and should recognize the individual rights of each of its citizens over the combined power of the group.

How many of those countries can pay back all those Chinese construction/infrastucture loans and refinanced loans now or 50 years from now? None of them can. They are more in debt to China than ever before. So what does China do instead to debt holders? Land grab as credit under the veiled disguise of "mutual cooperation and economic/commercial interests" such as the case of having and new Chinese naval base in Sri Lanka courtesy of the current govn't handing over a major port and also Sri Lankan sovereign territory leased into the next century to power project across the Indian Ocean and to also ensure unimpeded trade of Iranian oil. Anyone would decry this as *imperialism* if it were a western country doing this as it was in the past. In every aspect this should be called out as a new but old Chinese Imperialism. Let's also not lose sight that China will lose out to over a trillion or trillions of dollars if you include interest over the next century in the normal optic way of direct payment. The only other way to recoup investment is for China to take over more foriegn territory, foerign resources, and foreign industries. What is that called again? *IMPERIALISM*

Sadly enough California's highspeed railway was and is facing difficulties from the get-go. Inland flights in America are much cheaper than in Europe or China, making the rail less 'effective' as alternative transport. They added to many stations on the line to satisfy locals, which didn't cut the travel time as much as initially planned, which again upset the larger cities. There are severe speed limitations throughout the line, which means it isn't actually an 'HSL' but rather just an express railway most of the time. And last but not least, they had to allow freight trains on the network, which is a huge mistake if you aim for passenger traffic.

[@futbolind]

Air travel in Europe is ridiculously cheap on those cattle carriers like Ryanair. You can go from Paris to Barcelona for like €15.

[@hoixthegreat8359]

You've clearly never been to Europe. It's like £24 to fly from London to Berlin, £26 to Warsaw, £20 to Oslo on the 1st-8th May (next month). I just chose them dates randomly, and it definitely is cheaper if you buy further in advance. I paid £13 return to fly to Cologne.

Sadly America has neglected its infrastructure for three decades in favor of welfare, Medicare, and unfunded pensions. While places like China have put down over 10,000km of high speed rail and Asian nations are in the top 5 every year for best airports. Trains, subways, highways, apartment buildings, airports, bridges, and light rail are expanding across the world. What is America doing? Wasting billions on illegal aliens. Wasting billions on welfare. Wasting billions on destabilizing the Middle East while chasing some neo con dream of democracy by gun barrel. America needs to start its own one belt one road project. Now.

Great video as always! I'm not sure if I'd count the BRI as a single infrastructure project though. It seems like more of a broad national vision comprised of numerous smaller projects (if you were to count that, you'd probably have to count New York State's $150 billion infrastructure initiative for North America instead of the California HSR line). For Asia I'd pick the $80 billion Chūō Shinkansen Maglev line as the biggest single project that's more directly comparable to the others on the list.

[@eriklakeland3857]

Agreed. I'd enjoy a standalone feature on the Chuo Shinkansen on this channel. The Chuo Shinkansen is absolutely nuts for the people that aren't aware of it. 90% of the alignment will be in tunnels. The line is 177 miles, Tokyo Shinagawa Station to Nagoya Station in 40 minutes on the express service (AKA speeding by the 4 intermediate stations). For reference, a flight from Nagoya Chubu Centrair to Tokyo's Haneda Airport is listed at 1 hr. The maglev becomes yet more attractive when considering the train stations are in the urban core and the airports are further away (closer to more destinations, better transit connections). On top of that, yeah the flight is 1 hr but how much additional time is spent on boarding, security, runway taxiing and baggage claim compared to the train? Easily more than the time spent in the air.

Pretty sure this is just stock footage. I don't they have the budget to film in six contients for an eight minute video.

[@frankblangeard8865]

The United States is planning to spend at least $1.5 trillion modernizing its nuclear weapons. Does that count as an infrastructure project?

[@gurungmadan]

Crossrail isn't even London's current biggest project, its HS2...Its total costs is estimated to be 73 billion USD.

[@shaunjenks5768]

only Preparity work has been done on HS2 so far, the official infrastructure work has yet to start. With Costs ballooning to well over 100 Billion Pounds its highly likley this project will be scaled back significantly or even pulled all together, which would be short sighted in my view.

The B1M, IMO the coolest channel on KZbin! :-)

[@Gabzes]

Montreal is also getting a new bridge to cross the St Lawrence river and an automated, electric metro system (much like the one in Sydney) that will connect its western suburbs and its international airport to downtown and the south shore!

[@itsjourdon]

So obsessed with this channel and every video

[@rahilshah712]

India has boycotted the BRI and you're saying it's meant to benefit India. Plus the belt doesn't even pass by India. Another thing, you should have mentioned Mumbai's metro projects and coastal road. I know they're much smaller than the BRI but deserve a special mention. They're much bigger and more ambitious than the Sydney metro

[@gjit4077]

Largest project per continent mate

[@Teito1995]

Thinking this way they should also mention about Chuo Shinkansen which is currently being constructed in Japan. I bet they will talk about this in some point in the future so don't be stressed about ;)

[@rahilshah712]

@poortaiwanese that was due to some flowers from the initial opening ceremony getting stuck and causing problems

[@rahilshah712]

Ik largest per continent but the title says world's largest and not each continent's largest. So the methodology of the video creates an unfair bias as simple highway construction projects fare in a list of the world's largest infra projects. In fact even China's own HK- Macau bridge should have been mentioned

[@rahilshah712]

@poortaiwanese and I meant metro projects not railway. Mumbai is at least thrice as densely populated as London and the metro has had more than it's fair share of controversies. It deserves a mention

China’s B&R initiative is just huge! Will be interesting to see the trade impacts upon completion. Very interesting.

[@internetuser2721]

The whole point of the Belt and Road initiative is to restrict free trade and economic globalization and favor subsidized Chinese companies. In addition to that, China uses debt trap diplomacy to spread its totalitarian imperialism overseas. There are many examples of that already, all you need to do is open your eyes and stop watching those disgusting Chinese communist propaganda songs.

[@7thperspective666]

Internet User yes these are well covered points but from an infrastructure point of view it will have a massive impact on the region.

[@internetuser2721]

@Shivansh Nautiyal No doubt, although the possible consequences of the belt snd road could be disastrous (as they have been so far), so I don't know if I want to see what that might bring with it.

[@internetuser2721]

@Shivansh Nautiyal Very true and some of those ports could even be used as military assets in case of a conflict. Anyway, the fact is that those one belt one road projects have not helped the locals at all, in fact they make the economy worse and therefore harm the general populace.

[@isaaccpt6643]

Keep up the great work!!

[@radhirashdan4486]

came for sexy architecture clips, wasnt disappointed

[@orfeas8]

Seems there are many people feeling that architectural/constructional erection. Glad.

This dude needs a TV channel and i would watch it every day

[@artcurious807]

Just an update on California highspeed rail. It’s basically dead in the water and they will be lucky to complete Merced to Bakersfeld which no one will even use. Instead of contracting out the project to Japan and doing small chunks at a time where it might actually work, like maybe LA to San Diego or SanFrancisco to Sacramento the California government tried to do a doomed to failure project from LA to Frisco and now they have no money to finish it. High speed rail is dead in America because no one has the experience to create a rail line that goes to the right destinations, at the right speed, with the right ticket price, in the right amount of time. So people just keep driving.

[@lioneljones6484]

The high speed rail line in California was just a enron style money grab, a bunch of landowners in the central valley (probably rich democrats with political connections) made a ton of money by pressuring the high speed rail authority to run the line through every city in the central valley, which in turn caused the cost to skyrocket and the speed to drop to sub 150mph, in my opinion a bunch of people should be going to jail over this scam

[@artcurious807]

Lionel Jones , wtf I didn’t know it was that corrupt. California needs to be federally occupied until all the politicians are arrested. Remember the film ‘China Town’ with Jack Nicholson? It was about California corruption over water rights. And that was set in the 1940s. Nothing’s changed.

[@stevyd]

@@artcurious807 If you so desire a strong central government that runs roughshod over the individual rights mandated by the Constitution of the United States of America, you are free to do so. Thankfully it will never happen in this USA because the vast majority of the citizenship of this country does not want the dictatorial, non-democratic and despotic style of government you propose. You also missed the point of "China Town" by a mile. It was not about the corruption of California itself, but the personal corrupt power of certain evil individuals whose private wealth provided them the unlawful power to do as they pleased.

[@stevyd]

@@lioneljones6484 Sure, the large landowners in California's central valley are Democrats. Is that why the only Republican strongholds in the state are located in that same central valley? In a democracy, you need the vote of the majority to proceed. If the voters will not perceive or receive a benefit or service from the taxes or fees the proposed project will cost them, they will not see fit to pay for that project. Yes, that is not how they do it in China or many of the other countries that have a non-democratic or have an extremely strong central government, but that is not our (USA) way where the citizen has constitutionally mandated individual rights.

as for infrastructure，no other countries could compete with China

Which is other country at your choice ?
