I see western Europe is collapsing slowly. West Germany was a super good place to live in the 70's and 80's but entire EU is being so mismanaged that is scary.
Except in Germany when it's built, it's built with quality and it will last. Don't fall for stupid Chinese fluff propaganda. God knows how many shortcuts and bribes were taken to build this.
Again, it’s called Quality Control.. you don’t rush through some shit like this…. You idiots are delusional…. Trying to compare America’s infrastructure to another country. I hate when you do that…. Y’all never focus on that one country that they’re talking about you always gotta drag the USA into shut smfh
Nah bro, I mean maybe with today political situation yes but I remember we got motorway like Salerno-Reggio Calabria (A2), or the Firenze-Bologna section of A1 which are much more impressive, with higher bridges and longer tunnels than this Chinese thing
Yeah it sounds horrible for US , Canada or what ever democratic country . Because we have democracy so every now and then some or other person will file a case in court saying , land is grabbed by govt balh blah and those constructions will hal a bit and again resume and again halt for cases filed by ecological department, forestry, or you name it . Yes democracy is not perfect but that is the best governance know for mankind . So countries like China they don't have this problem which we have ,if they think to do it they can answer to no one so they can do it easily quickly
My neighborhood's Soccer Field construction project has been waiting for almost a year now. I wonder what is so hard to just put a green turf over a concrete surface? I am in NYC btw.
I watched a TV show interviewing local villagers in this area, their lives were completely changed and improved by going out mountains easily. Very touching
@@dantsai5216no, he's simply focusing on a very important effect on the people in the region, rather than obvious aspects which anyone can see and comment on - effectively de-isolating them and they are very happy about it.
They didn't make high sidewall probably because they want the passengers to be able see the scenery. There is also sidewalk for pedestrians. Unbelievable and amazing! Kudos for those Chinese engineers and construction workers!
Google "Tofu-dreg" and you will understand how these are built so fast... and don't forget they use slave labor and offers no compensation to any worker who is injured or killed while building it.
I imagine there’s strict inspections of the bridge. I wouldn’t ride on that because I’m afraid of heights, not because I think there’s anything wrong with the bridge. China has some brave and talented construction workers.

I was wondering - we have 3 lanes of high ways (ok, here it is called express way, maybe that is different type). The 3rd is used for broken cars or emergencies. Here I dont see it in some shots. Also, when shit happens in fog, ppl are jumping over the barriesrs to the grass/forest so that next cars dont smash into them. Here you have nowhere to go.. except down.

@@andistheinforitbutso7513 there could be more deaths. We know China is not a democratic country. Their mainstream media are very tightly controlled. Even online usage is under control.
remember this country you are praising doesn't give a crap about your safety, keep that in mind and they would not allow you to know how many died building it either 🤔
In Canada, nobody would die building it, it's still in use years later, chunks of it did not fall apart and sink into the earth, its cost was on or under budget, and nobody was jailed for exposing some scandal involved in its construction. Don't be impressed by projects like this in china. They never are as described by the ccp. A typical reality is years later it will be revealed that nobody actually drives on this road.
excuse me big fella but I live in British Columbia and we built the Coquihalla highway from hope to kamloops in 20 months.. straight up and over the cascade mountain range..its the highway with the fastest speed limit in Canada too.
As a civil engineer, mean the amount of Geological studies in order to know the load capability of the soil, of every brought, and then all the calculus in order to know the amount of concrete, steel, and all those things, with such very different soil, along the whole road, the structural engineers who calculate that had my absolute respect
China has no inspectors in the construction industry they use the cheapest materials with no care I'm sure you seen the buildings falling over contractors using glass instead of gravel 😂 you can ride that bridge all you want
I have heard a story before. It took the Germans 2 years to build a bridge. Then it can be used for 100 years. The Chinese built a bridge in 2 months. Then repairs started 2 months later. I remember not long ago, someone sent a photo. On a river in China, there is a bridge built 1,000 years ago, and next to it is a bridge built 10 years ago. After a flood, the bridge built 1,000 years ago is still there. The bridge built 10 years ago has only the piers left.
This bridge shows the corruptions and dictatorships of ccp regime. On the contrary, the potholes on our broken roads repersents the freedom and democracy of another institutionalism.
You can visit several ghost cities where less than 10 yr old highrise residental buildings are crumbling allready. Can even find some in rural part of the bigger cities. But the glassfloor pedestrianbridge in the mountain is either still offline or fixed after the destined to happend real cracks. And the hanging-oedestrian bridge in the mountaibs ended up flipping upside down... as if was in a horrormovie. Thankfully people were securely fastened with ropes... or that would been a mass-killing event. Beautifull to watch these construction marvels on tv and drones. But NEVER would i voluntarly take a lotteryticket of a chance to get killed in these poorly designed deathtraps.
@@s00p3rman I don't know about Chinese projects, but in the Middle East and elsewhere, the ones designing many of these amazing projects are from the west. Russia is another interesting place. Their oil production and refining would be a small fraction of what it is without help from American and European oil companies. And with the war, it's falling apart due to lack of maintenance and parts.
Having visited China I came away feeling that they think up the most difficult projects they can then go and complete them. The more insanly challenging the better!
Yes its for SHOW. Part of CCP grand PR. But allready several of them have undergone major failures/accidents. The glassfloor pedestrian bridge. The hanging-pedestrian bridge. Highrise residential buildings that allready crumbles after less than 10 years. Its often pyramideschemes with flipping investment derivates, since they can not actually invest abroad. But the build quality is bad. And the grand projects are grand, but designed flawed. The maintance cost and maintenance obligations makes example that highriad in this video impossible to maintain in practical terms. It will crumble.
Never doubt the descendants of those who built the great wall. EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention. These kind of projects are only possible with authoritarian rule. Democratic countries will argue till the cows come home over building a new bicycle lane.
That's good. Democracy is good. Even if it takes time.. Dictatorship bad. Fascists bad. Even if things get "done quickly" ... I get it, you think you can have YOUR dictator doing things YOU want, but that's not how dictators work. In comes a "leader" who stands firm on his beliefs, and no one can tell them otherwise, he's got his mind made up and his morals set" Sounds good? It isn't. You're asking for a leader, who doesn't listen, who can't be reasoned with, unreasonable, who has his mind made up and doesn't listen to anyone, and you think that dictator is going to listen to you because you think he's on "your side" No. It's gotta be a mental disorder to believe a dictatorship is good...
As an civil engineer i would say it's absolutely amazing and beautiful, but whenever we build bridges and roads we build it for 20+ years and those gravity defying roads and steel structures are hard to maintain. Feels almost as if it's temporary structure with the information provided but depending on the material and visiting the site, only then can b said for sure. My dream is to visit China, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia for their marvelous architecture and structure design.
Don't dream. Make it happen. I recommend Japan from your list. My favorite place in the world is Croatia and you'll find an incredible network of tunnels, especially from Dubrovnik going up the cost. Have a look at images of the Pelješac Bridge which is just stunning, I take my kids every summer.
@@FSUOSU25 Yes I remember and couldn't wait until it was finished. My kids were so excited to cross it for the first time. It's just crazy when you see the gap that it covers. I know there are bigger ones, but for a small country, this is huge.
They built it so that people living in rural have a chance to be connected. Better roads, better opportunities, accessible to better education, healthcare and business.

Here in Toronto, Canada our construction companies are struggling to build a 19km LRT that's taken 14 YEARS and 13 BILLION to build AND IT STILL HASN'T OPENED because of various issues they're still solving. Also the city is spending several billion dollars and at least 3 years just to renovate part of the Gardiner Expressway that runs through downtown. It makes me angry that in other parts of the world they can get so much done in a relative short period time in an efficient manner and then you have corrupt, inept construction companies in Canada that take forever to get anything done.
They built the Coquihalla Highway in 2 years. That is a mind blowing piece of highway. The fact they did it that fast is unreal. It has taken longer to repair a small portion of the highway from flood damage than it took them to build the entire thing! We did have great construction. Now we can't even fix the highway that we built.
I have driven on this highway.. and it is as amazing and beautiful it can get .. truly a man made miracle.. longest tunnel i drove through was 27 kms long
That's why you don't have bridges collapsing and all kinds of infrastructure disasters. The building is regulated and regularly checked out at regular stages.
In Singapore, the same old road will be re dig re laid and re contruct and the whole process repeat after 1 to 2 years, dig, lay, re contruct. Within few kms, you will see road works road works road works...

Wait what?!
@@airnidzo yup. Look it up. It is the very definition of corruption and wasteful spending in this state….or any state.
"infrastructure corruption"
Question: How much human shIt do they have to clean up on a daily basis in the train terminal?
Newsome is almost a billionaire,isn’t he?😂
The video didn't mention that over 300 Chinese workers lost their lives during the construction
That’s not too much for a massive project like that.
OSHA who?
Yeahh normal I think
Source is as normally trust me bro.
Says Western jealous media 😂
3 billion USD, some countries build bridges, some throws $$$ in wars.
thats why murica is jelous of china
This is breathtaking and almost unreal.
In Montreal it cost 4 billions for a bridge just to cross the Saint-Laurence River. 😅
To be fair, that bridge will probably last longer.
Waste of money
Chinese construction projects are very problematic, big projects collapse frequently.

That’s because the signs cost double to read St Lawrence and Saint-Laurence.
It always costs more when you have to pay for labour.
No way in HELL I’m driving on that, don’t care how safe it is.
It's not safe lol, bet it collapses in under 10 years
Right I get anxiety just looking at it
Do you have a car?
It's china man not US
BETA
I wouldn't travel on that bridge for a million dollars. I hope they got a road on the ground level.
That looks terrifying. I wouldn’t be going anywhere on that
So, in case of an accident you literally see the death before you die.
I was wondering - we have 3 lanes of high ways (ok, here it is called express way, maybe that is different type). The 3rd is used for broken cars or emergencies. Here I dont see it in some shots. Also, when shit happens in fog, ppl are jumping over the barriesrs to the grass/forest so that next cars dont smash into them. Here you have nowhere to go.. except down.
Without transportation, you will die of poverty caused by the regional economic backwardness before you have an accident.
New Jersey DOT takes 5 years to put up erosion fences and scatter dirtpiles. There are literally large trees growing on these piles. NJDOT workers are really good at leaning up against the beds of their pickups all day with coffee, complaining how their obscene wages and benefits aren't enough.
One thing is for sure, Chinese infrastructure is not reliable and this has been proof multiple times.

My legs are weak! This is an engineering marvel!
Rip to those who lost their lives during this construction, you will always be heroes.
33 deaths
@@john2nite528only. In one school shooting there are more casualties
@@andistheinforitbutso7513 there could be more deaths. We know China is not a democratic country. Their mainstream media are very tightly controlled. Even online usage is under control.
There were only 33 deaths. In comparison, this bridge is about 5 times as long as the Golden Gate Bridge and only barely three times the casualties
The casual way we are talking about deaths. @@sweatybotfn9982
5 years to build that, here in Canada we can't get a flat road built in that time.
remember this country you are praising doesn't give a crap about your safety, keep that in mind and they would not allow you to know how many died building it either 🤔
In the US, all the workers stand around drinking coffee while leaning on their shovels. Whilst getting union wages at that.
Ask Xi and he will built in less than 1 month.
In Canada, nobody would die building it, it's still in use years later, chunks of it did not fall apart and sink into the earth, its cost was on or under budget, and nobody was jailed for exposing some scandal involved in its construction. Don't be impressed by projects like this in china. They never are as described by the ccp. A typical reality is years later it will be revealed that nobody actually drives on this road.
excuse me big fella but I live in British Columbia and we built the Coquihalla highway from hope to kamloops in 20 months.. straight up and over the cascade mountain range..its the highway with the fastest speed limit in Canada too.
As a civil engineer, mean the amount of
Geological studies in order to know the load capability of the soil, of every brought, and then all the calculus in order to know the amount of concrete, steel, and all those things, with such very different soil, along the whole road, the structural engineers who calculate that had my absolute respect
I pray the workers are still on earth with us, because just looking at this I just can't Imagine men DOING this, SIMPLE GENUINELY GENIUS.
In my opinion, the maintenance cost will be way higher than the construction cost.
That's what the toll charges are for
how many for the toll ?@@just_my_point5678
Only 3b? I'm impressed
Especially with shoddy Chinese construction practices.
@@joelwillems4081 not as shoddy as American mic
Just five years? Over here in Germany it takes about six years to fix a street.😂
China has no inspectors in the construction industry they use the cheapest materials with no care I'm sure you seen the buildings falling over contractors using glass instead of gravel 😂 you can ride that bridge all you want
I have heard a story before. It took the Germans 2 years to build a bridge. Then it can be used for 100 years. The Chinese built a bridge in 2 months. Then repairs started 2 months later. I remember not long ago, someone sent a photo. On a river in China, there is a bridge built 1,000 years ago, and next to it is a bridge built 10 years ago. After a flood, the bridge built 1,000 years ago is still there. The bridge built 10 years ago has only the piers left.
This bridge shows the corruptions and dictatorships of ccp
regime. On the contrary, the potholes on our broken roads repersents the freedom and democracy of another institutionalism.
👍🙋🇺🇲
Really??? GERMANY!!LOL.i don't think so..German engineering is the way
The real heroes are the people plying those routes. Their faith can move mountains.
Computer games just keep looking more real everyday
No one realizes just what it took to engineer this, the piling, the bridge piers, the ironwork, the materials and decking…breathtaking!
All of that Chinesium! Its the safest road, up to code, for sure!
Oh we do. It's so unreal.
@@tacomafish12😂😂😂
Obviously people knew it took a lot he literally said it in the video
It’s breathtaking
I'd love to spend a couple of years driving around China checking out all the engineering marvels of the past 25 years...
As long as you don't have to pay to maintain them.
You can visit several ghost cities where less than 10 yr old highrise residental buildings are crumbling allready.
Can even find some in rural part of the bigger cities.
But the glassfloor pedestrianbridge in the mountain is either still offline or fixed after the destined to happend real cracks.
And the hanging-oedestrian bridge in the mountaibs ended up flipping upside down... as if was in a horrormovie.
Thankfully people were securely fastened with ropes... or that would been a mass-killing event.
Beautifull to watch these construction marvels on tv and drones.
But NEVER would i voluntarly take a lotteryticket of a chance to get killed in these poorly designed deathtraps.
@@paulruano1903 这是你想象的中国，真实的中国远远比你想象的好一百倍
All the engineering marvels were ripped off from other countries. Everything is just a cheap knockoff.
@@s00p3rman I don't know about Chinese projects, but in the Middle East and elsewhere, the ones designing many of these amazing projects are from the west. Russia is another interesting place. Their oil production and refining would be a small fraction of what it is without help from American and European oil companies. And with the war, it's falling apart due to lack of maintenance and parts.
One thing about a bridge is all you have to do is go off it and well…
China is not for easy people... been there and respect that...
Having visited China I came away feeling that they think up the most difficult projects they can then go and complete them. The more insanly challenging the better!
Until the earthquake or mudslide..
Yeah and the united states payed for it
@@feminazislayerJoe Biden paid for it
@@feminazislayer No we didn't, he meant the equivalent of 3B us because yen wouldn't compute
Yes its for SHOW.
Part of CCP grand PR.
But allready several of them have undergone major failures/accidents.
The glassfloor pedestrian bridge.
The hanging-pedestrian bridge.
Highrise residential buildings that allready crumbles after less than 10 years.
Its often pyramideschemes with flipping investment derivates, since they can not actually invest abroad.
But the build quality is bad.
And the grand projects are grand, but designed flawed. The maintance cost and maintenance obligations makes example that highriad in this video impossible to maintain in practical terms.
It will crumble.
Never doubt the descendants of those who built the great wall.
EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention. These kind of projects are only possible with authoritarian rule. Democratic countries will argue till the cows come home over building a new bicycle lane.
You got that right.
YES
That’s right. A lot of backwards
Idk about you guys, but doing things under threat of imprisonment, death, or both is my preferred way of living.
That's good.
Democracy is good.
Even if it takes time..
Dictatorship bad.
Fascists bad.
Even if things get "done quickly" ...
I get it, you think you can have YOUR dictator doing things YOU want, but that's not how dictators work.
In comes a "leader" who stands firm on his beliefs, and no one can tell them otherwise, he's got his mind made up and his morals set"
Sounds good?
It isn't.
You're asking for a leader, who doesn't listen, who can't be reasoned with, unreasonable, who has his mind made up and doesn't listen to anyone, and you think that dictator is going to listen to you because you think he's on "your side"
No.
It's gotta be a mental disorder to believe a dictatorship is good...
IF IT DOESN’T FIT IN A SHORT, IT DOESN’T BELONG IN A SHORT!
God Bless the engineers and workers who made this possible. It is a marvel.
Drive safely, don't drive drunk, especially not on this road because if you do, you may not live to tell the story.
That can be said for any road bozo
Amen, good advice, thank you for sharing ❤
Drunk driver's never die, its the sober one's do.
As an civil engineer i would say it's absolutely amazing and beautiful, but whenever we build bridges and roads we build it for 20+ years and those gravity defying roads and steel structures are hard to maintain. Feels almost as if it's temporary structure with the information provided but depending on the material and visiting the site, only then can b said for sure. My dream is to visit China, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia for their marvelous architecture and structure design.
Don't dream. Make it happen. I recommend Japan from your list. My favorite place in the world is Croatia and you'll find an incredible network of tunnels, especially from Dubrovnik going up the cost. Have a look at images of the Pelješac Bridge which is just stunning, I take my kids every summer.
Malaysia? For?
@@nicholash8021That bridge you mentioned was completed in 2022. I just looked it up. It's beautiful.
@@FSUOSU25 Yes I remember and couldn't wait until it was finished. My kids were so excited to cross it for the first time. It's just crazy when you see the gap that it covers. I know there are bigger ones, but for a small country, this is huge.
Amazing 👏 🙀
Wow. 5000 years and the Chinese still never shy away from those massively huge and awesome construction projects 😳❤️🔥👁️
ang galing nmn ng engineering ng china.. marahil wlng curruption sa government nila..🎉⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌹🌿
They built it so that people living in rural have a chance to be connected. Better roads, better opportunities, accessible to better education, healthcare and business.
And were do the by pass that high lol
They built it so they could brag about it. It doesn’t seem practical at all
This what happens when you build for the people and NOT for the profits .
Or more so that the government can be connected with the villages.
But they have a lot of ghost city. 😅
Leave it to the Chinese to build a highway a mile off the ground
dont worry within 2 years it will be ground level thats for sure.
Highway to heaven😊😊
@@anthonyjarvis9472keep telling yourself that.
Making fun of them while they are becoming stronger.
They the bud of jokes for décades and now they are number 2 on the planet.
Mal investment; anything to feed the unsustainable growth model of china
Almost a bridge to nowhere
Took only 5 years, HS2 in England never to be finished😂
In the Pacific Northwest, we spent a half a Billion dollars on a bridge over the Columbia that was never built. Revisions they said.
This is nothing short of 8th wonder of the world! Hats off to the engineers and workers.
In US that same bridge would take 50 years to build 80% completed, cost $70B, +500 lawsuits filed, and still wouldn't be finished
At least it would be safe, come back in a year, let's see where this bridge is by then.
Oh oh... yankee superiority complex alert! It's been operational for a decade already.
It goes for all countries, really. China has their propaganda, the US has theirs and they influence their citizens just the same.
Btw, I despise the USA.

Here in Toronto, Canada our construction companies are struggling to build a 19km LRT that's taken 14 YEARS and 13 BILLION to build AND IT STILL HASN'T OPENED because of various issues they're still solving. Also the city is spending several billion dollars and at least 3 years just to renovate part of the Gardiner Expressway that runs through downtown.
It makes me angry that in other parts of the world they can get so much done in a relative short period time in an efficient manner and then you have corrupt, inept construction companies in Canada that take forever to get anything done.
How far has humanity come.
In Canada it makes 15 years to renovate a train station and 10yrs to build a street car line on flat ground
They are still working on a subway line that should have been completed 4 years ago.
They are more communist than China. Their bureaucracy is the worst
They built the Coquihalla Highway in 2 years. That is a mind blowing piece of highway. The fact they did it that fast is unreal. It has taken longer to repair a small portion of the highway from flood damage than it took them to build the entire thing! We did have great construction. Now we can't even fix the highway that we built.
The priority was to get the station infrastructure installed, to serve as homeless shelters.
Panjabis will get your job done mate
I have driven on this highway.. and it is as amazing and beautiful it can get .. truly a man made miracle.. longest tunnel i drove through was 27 kms long
Also travelling China's high-speed rail is incredible when you see how many tunnels you go through and the mountains you pass.
Is it safe driving on the yaxi Expressway
@@TheReaICowfish 😄
This will take America 10years just to get the paper work,
Chinese have no fear of heights. I wouldn't drive on that
I don't know about safety, but it's amazing!
id love to go through this highway. the view must be super beautiful
it is doomed. The ground is unstable in many places.
Here every construction zone I see 1 person working a digger, and 29 guys standing there watching him.
😂😂😂
when 3 Chinese sit in the middle of nowhere, after 3 minutes, one Chinese said let's build some shit in here.
In TOLL plaza truck driver 🚚 be like “would you accept property deeds for payment” 💰💰💰💰😂😂😂😂
Here in Canada, they took 4 years to build a underpass. Then they spent millions and millions to renovate BUS STOPS.
One intersection here takes 6 months to a year on average. Just zero accountability
Here in the UK is a disaster too! Funny how quick they can produce and send weapons abroad tho!!!
That's why you don't have bridges collapsing and all kinds of infrastructure disasters. The building is regulated and regularly checked out at regular stages.
it's still not built 😂

In South Africa a 20 meter long bridge takes 5 years to finish, this would take 10 000 years here.
It won’t finish in SA, but the money will be chowed
Same in the UK
US just finally certified two nuclear power plants in Georgia I think 8 years and $8B. China built 5 of the same design, for the same cost, in half the time.
