What? The Pyramids are still there. The Library at Alexandria was burned. The Colossus of Rhodes was an earthquake. What did I miss? Oh, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. I suppose a case of non-maintenance could be made for that, since the city was besieged, conquered, and abandoned.

We have environmentalists trying to stop and delay and sue every project to balloon the costs x10. I think it's just Chinese people are more open minded to development, whereas people in the west are so comfortable, they just don't want things to change. There's also that in China you dont plan for opposition and you dont have opposition. So you can cut down the costs to the minimum amount of time, and just labor and materials.

I'm calling BS on $280M. Even $1B would be insanely cheap for something this scale. Then again, everything in the USA is overpriced AF, so who knows.
@ruedeltaАй бұрын
Obviously don't compare to North America, everything is more expensive by something like a factor of x5 to x10. As for China in this case, it's economies of scale since they have built out 200+ bridges of similar make in that region. There is a lot that can be prefabbed and there isn't really a case for training, cost overruns, etc. The other big piece of help is that China tends to have a bunch of very specialized equipment for building bridges, such as the viaduct "printing" machines for their HSR.

There are amazing differences in the prices of things made in China compared to things made in other countries. I have been checking the availability and prices of gate drivers. These are things about 6mm (quarter inch) square with eight metal connecting pins and some amazing electronic wizardry inside, for turning transistors in a high-power circuit on and off. For gate drivers of western brands you are looking at one, two or three US dollars each. For Chinese brands the prices are around five or six US CENTS. How is this possible? Some people have told me the Chinese components are fakes/rejects/dummies that do not work. I bought some and tested them. Guess what? They work perfectly. I have also bought a Chinese thermal imaging camera that cost one-sixth the price of the well-known western brand and gives a far superior image, in which you can easily identify individual components on a printed circuit board rather than seeing blurry blobs of colour.
