Another bridge collapsed in China on 2 February. So many bridges (both completed and under construction) have collapsed in China recently, but they receive hardly any media coverage. Everyone keeps pretending that Chinese infrastructure is the best. 🙄

Western commentators keep asking: “Why does China build so much infrastructure?” They never understand the real answer. Because in China, infrastructure isn’t a photo-op. It’s a covenant. Every bridge, every dam, every tunnel, every water-treatment plant— is built by people who know their own families drink this water, walk these roads, cross these bridges. In the West, infrastructure is a political slogan. In China, it is a national inheritance. They see Chinese rivers clearing up, lakes turning blue again, cities healing themselves within a single generation, and they call it “propaganda.” But ask any Chinese engineer, and they’ll tell you: This is our work, and this is our pride. The irony? Western media keeps mocking “Chinese construction,” while millions of Americans drink water laced with PFAS, from pipes laid 70 years ago, in towns still waiting for the basics of the 20th century. China doesn’t just build fast. China builds forward. Because 1.4 billion people cannot survive on luck— only on systems. And when you watch these videos of rivers reborn, polluted waterways turning clear, cities restoring themselves in real time… you’re not seeing miracles. You’re seeing what happens when a country remembers that the state exists to serve the people, not the other way around. That is the secret Western analysts keep missing: Chinese infrastructure isn’t about speed, It’s about responsibility. Not about showing off, but about belief.

I'm glad to see you take pride in the Dafaqu Grand Bridge, albeit I must point out that it is a bridge in China, not India. I also found the Chinese source video that you altered and slapped some bogus cations on. The recurring practice of some Indian netizens editing footage of Chinese bridges and then sharing them as Indian infrastructure on NH44 is misleading and dishonest. The 1,427-meter-long Dafaqu Grand Bridge, which crosses a deep valley in a mountainous area in the north of China’s Guizhou province, is a large-span concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge. It is a key project in a freeway that links the Guizhou cities of Renhuai and Zunyi. The main arch of the bridge — spanning 410 meters — has been painted red, providing a magnificent spectacle against the backdrop of the mountain and the valley, and drawing many tourists to view the surrounding scenery. The bridge sits more than 280 meters above the valley floor, equivalent to the height of a 100-story building. The complicated terrain, such as the steep cliffs, meant its construction posed challenges for engineers and building workers. Guizhou, the only province in China without a single plain and home to deep ravines, has long relied on tunnels and bridges to overcome its jagged karst landscape. Since 2012, the province has accelerated its bridge construction endeavors. Guizhou now has over 32,000 bridges either already built or under construction -- a tenfold increase compared to the 1980s. Due to its sheer number of bridges, diverse bridge types and complex construction technologies, Guizhou has earned the title of "the world's bridge museum."

Trevor Noah and his guest discussed the serious disconnect in the Western world’s understanding of China. One point was especially absurd: many senior U.S. lawmakers and policymakers had spent their entire careers writing, voting on, and shaping China policy — yet only recently visited China for the first time. They saw modern China with their own eyes and came back stunned, saying they had never imagined China had become like this. This is simply unbelievable. Ordinary Americans posting nonsense about China online is one thing. But officials responsible for China policy being this ignorant about China is another level of imperial arrogance. For decades, America froze China inside old stereotypes: Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan. Kung fu movies. Cheap toys. Fake goods. The world’s low-end factory. Then China changed. And they did not update the file. China built high-speed rail, EVs, ports, drones, shipyards, AI models, supply chains, and the world’s largest industrial system while Western elites were still staring at a VHS tape from the 1990s. But that is still not the real problem. America’s misreading of China does not come from a lack of information. It comes from American exceptionalism. They grew up believing the U.S. is the natural center of democracy, freedom, technology, culture, money, and military power — the country everyone should admire, imitate, and obey. So when China rises without asking for American permission, they do not see reality. They see an error. They keep saying Chinese people live behind a firewall. But Chinese people translate, repost, study, mock, analyze, and consume more foreign information than most Americans ever bother to read about China. Millions of Chinese study abroad. Tens of millions travel overseas. Chinese people use VPNs because they want to see the outside world. Meanwhile, how many Americans have actually lived in China before confidently explaining China to the world? How many can read Chinese platforms? How many follow Chinese debates? How many know what ordinary Chinese people actually argue about? A lot of Chinese people criticize America because they have seen America. A lot of Americans criticize China because they have seen headlines about China. That is the difference. China’s so-called “closed society” produced people curious enough to climb over walls. America’s “open society” produced people too arrogant to look outside their own mirror.
