Megaprojects Figure Into Chinese Culture Unlike in Any Other Culture

Its hard to say what they have to do. They aren't telling anyone what is happening within their system. And people within the system aren't sure either. If you aren't allowed to see anything because its constantly brushed under the carpet, how do you know how many flaws there are, how many are getting fixed, leave alone how effective the fixes are? And talking to Chinese people offline who have to actually deal with issues there, it's easy to see lot of anxiety. You can build the Great Wall and point at how beautiful it is. But we already know mega projects did not save the Ming Dynasty.
