And we in the US struggle with getting anything built for less than eye watering sums - does anyone remember the recent bay bridge saga? Corruption, incompetence, etc?
Also, don't assume those bridges are built particularly well and will last for a long time. The Chinese have their own fair share of corruption, incompetence, etc...
Yeah, except for the facts that the leaky bolts that were the primary source of consternation last year (?) weren't part of the Chinese-built part of the bridge.
