Is China Surpassing the U.S. in Public Transit and Infrastructure?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2023
- For the peoples of both the US and China, nothing is more important than functioning electrical grids, public transit, roads, highways and bridges. So why does it seem in the U.S. that each week more stories of collapsing bridges and highways continue to surface? It’s politically popular in both parties in the U.S. to fix infrastructure, so why does it do rarely and slowly happen? How are people in China responding to the rapid development of new cities and technologies?
We are joined by Walter Smolarek, Editor in Chief of Liberation News, and Albert Wang, key opinion leader across Chinese social media, to compare and contrast the state of infrastructure in the U.S. and China.
Overlap is a global conversation show based on a simple concept - while US elites are working to build a new Cold War environment with China, we want to do the opposite, with people-to-people dialogue and virtual exchanges that show how much we have in common, and how much we have to lose from a new policy of isolation and demonization. This show is made in collaboration with our friends at WaveMedia @WaveMedia, a private media house in China.
Comparing US crumbling infrastructure to China's futuristic infrastructure is an insult.
this video could have just been 3 minutes of them both laughing, after the question was posed.
Wait till you see what we do to China's infrastructure ☢️
Thank you for this comment
@@donHooligan lol
@@TacticalMayo Wait...until the US makes a hypersonic missile? I expect that'll be several decades...
Our infrastructures here in mainland China is amazing cant complain especially with the affordable price in public transports, now we have drive-less taxis, drive-less bus and drive-less trains. But we have a-lot to learn and improve in our country - Thank you for these two guests.
Wait till you see it turn into radioactive ash.
@@oliver2669 if China surpasses the United States we will not accept it and we will not be able to deal with it and we will absolutely not co-exist as number two and you will get a world war that goes nuclear. Being number one to the United States is worth dying and ending the world over never forget that.
@@oliver2669it’s a white supremacist US imperialist threatening nuclear war
@@TacticalMayo The USA is turning to ash right before our eyes.
@@oliver2669he is trolling.
the main reason infrastructure is so bad in the yankee empire, is that the ruling class (the 1%), do not use public transport, and rely very little on any other public infrastructure (they have their own). war is far more profitable.
To restate your point in a different way: The bourgeoisie want government to be as weak as possible, and for every little thing to be a profit centre for one capitalist or other, so they have concocted private "solutions" for everything. (I'm still not articulating myself very well...sorry.)
The American Society of Civil Engineers who reports on US infrastructure every four years says it will take 4.59 trillion to improve US infrastructure by 2025. Thanks for reporting on the farse that our professional politicians are giving us. We need a government that represents the people, not the donor class. Thanks
Which people? The people on whose land you've squatter your whole life? Uh...maybe they don't want any kind of American government!
China already surpassed in every field that really matters like science, infrastructure, manufacturing, etc. USA still have dominance in financial markets through it's oil backed dollar. Soon it will be overcome through multipolar world currency.
only in your dream. lol
how could world number one country like China have a foreign minister suddenly disappear without explanation and he is gone forever ?
The scary thing is that the financialized U.S. economy will then collapse leading to reactionary behavior that will be very destructive to its population. The U.S. govt has failed to maintain a skilled manufacturing base and though we have natural resources, our national wealth is mostly reliant on financial chicanery.
If you haven't died in a nuclear war than that means China did not surpass the United States. There will be no form of coexisting as number two the United States would rather die ☢️
@@therach7841worry about nuclear war.

Just ask yourself how many high speed railroads are there in the U.S. & you'll come to the right conclusion.
So true this country infrastructure is so disgraceful for a so call first world
Ahh, one?
@@sootuckchoong7077 Given how it is defined in the U.S. according to Wikipedia: "Amtrak's Acela, which reaches 150 mph (240 km/h) over 49.9 mi (80.3 km) of track, is the US's only high-speed rail service." So I guess your guess is correct.
none
That was my first thought. The question posed in the headline here is absurd. Of course China is light years ahead of the United States!
China's infrastructures are basically to service the people's needs. China is not comparing with other nations but will help to build such, if assistance is sought. Go China!!!🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
See works of Chris Jansen
The title of this video seems as absurd as asking "Is Yao Ming taller than Danny Devito?"
China is miles ahead. Have you seen the amazing bridges being built over there.
As a European I hope we act more China and less like the USA. Currently we're somewhere in between and it also varies very much per region/country. On infrastructure there's a lot of investment in the transition into green energy and infrastructure but it pales in comparison to road building and fossil fuel infrastructure, which shouldn't be the case.
why do Europeans talk about infrastructure if they are afraid to talk about who blew up the gas pipeline?
I'm Chinese living in the United States for more than 10 years. (living in LA in recent 9 years) My answer to this question in the year of 2023 is: they're not even comparable, China's Public Transit and Infrastructure are both in another level.
I'm saying this not because I'm Chinese, I'm just sharing what I observed in both countries.
US's modern infrastructure does have a long history compare to China, but it's not a excuse to explain the poor maintenance. Take a look at LAX, I believe every single one who experienced it know what I'm talking about. Man this is LA! The second largest city in the States, how come they never consider improving its airport? I really don't understand it. Not even mention the subway system, free ways, bus system.
US's Public Transit and Infrastructure is not only far behind China, it's also far behind a lot of other Asian countries. And I'm also wondering, if China's Public Transit and Infrastructure is not the best in the world, name a country that is better than China on these.
80mpr is blazing fast on a Amtrack train, Went from Toledo to Utah a few years ago & it peaked at about 50, and that was rare, more like 25-30 on average.
Given the state of the rails, I'd be shitting a brick at any velocity above 10. Of course, the greater danger from trains is not to people on them, but those who live near the rails, as in Lac-Mégantic, East Palestine, etc.
USA might not have good infrastructure BUT THEY GOT 11 Aircraft carriers... about 50% of EARTHS aircraft carriers... Who needs working public transports when you have that?? "Fun fact China have 95%-99% of all BEV busses in the world...
Especially when we go to war with China in the near future we're going to need them.
What's the point though? If war ever breaks out between nuclear powers convention warfare won't work
Not to worry, the US still have their so called “freedom and democracy” LOL!
And LGBTQ++++++🤣🤣🤣
China surpassed the US with the last few years. As a Canadian, I'm envious of Chinese high speed rail.
Me too. Theret should be a subway system in every city in Southern Ontario, and Ottawa
Don't be envious. Be happy for them.
@@gameimprovements4347in the US we could care less about railways. The United States only cares about being number one and is willing to die and end the world over it.
@@silveriver9 of course that's correct. I am happy for them, I just wish Canadians stopped handing power over to two capitalist parties.
We just don’t have the population to support this kind of thing. Also, the weather/ climate will require and incredible effort to maintain this kind of infrastructure.
The US can never be so honest and self-critical or self-examining and reflective as china is right now
Damn right it does. With the aging and outdated infrastructure there’s absolutely no comparison.
Whatever tankie
Yes. See how broken the infrastructure is all over US, but US congress believes and brokered they are the best
We are the best.
@@TacticalMayo ok
@@TacticalMayo How's the Amerikkkan operation at Kabul's airport goin'? 🤣
Our money goes to the fake wars of the Billionaires Club who own and control Politicians and Media
Simple examples:
1. China: 40,000 Kms of high speed trains... USA: 80 Kms...
2. 5G: Far better QUALITY and COVERAGE in China's major cities than in the US due to Huawei's SUPERIOR technologies (much higher number essential industrial patent Families: 40,000)...
In terms of government investment for future and beneficial to the people, China is ahead of USA.
If China surpasses the United States there will be no future ☢️
Infrastructure needs maintenance; Infrastructure maintenance in the United States is very bad!
Not necessary cuz we're going to go to war with China.
@@TacticalMayo I love it when Nazi dumfux make communist points without knowing it.
These overlap episodes are excellent content per usual. Great job BT
Of course China surpadsed Yankees.. Nofoubt
The contrast is amazing but inevitable between one party rule with 5-year plans versus two party elected two or four or six-year elected officials systems; additionally Chinese leaders were trained as engineers while American leaders mostly were trained as lawyers or business managers.
In my neighborhood of the US it took them 3 years to fix a stretch of road that is 1.5 mile long! They closed the road down for about 2.5 years before they finally started working on it! Meanwhile, everybody in my neighborhood had to take a different road to get around which meant that we had to drive 2-3 miles extra in order to get to the main road and the highway.
Sounds like here in Britain mate,.🤷🏼♂️☹️
An honest balanced video.
In terms of public transit, absolutely. In terms of infrastructure, in many areas, and in many areas there is still much work to be done. The top thing that comes to mind is that, while some areas in America have boil water advisories, as mentioned in the video, this is the default procedure pretty much throughout China.
not surpass but also 50 years in advance from the states.
LOL no
boiling water does NOT help against lead poisoning! it just kills germs and stuff, which is still useful, but not effective against every hazard
As for the outside world, why should we bother. lt's for the countrymen to worry the condition they have.
Yes, yes and yes. Are crumbling infrastructure sucks in the United States. Hey, but when it comes to military industrial complex we have unlimited funds. 🙄
Can't believe the question is serious.
exactly.....but this would be big news to anybody who believes MSM in the west.
@@donHooliganyou got to be out your mind to believe a bunch of commies 🖕
@@donHooligan good point
Excellent food for thought
200 billion given to Ukhraine, enough to build good infrastructure in Usa.
Enough to end homelessness in the US too. Priorities.
Imagine.... we could spend 20 billion to fix the our homeless problem in US. we don't have a Gov. Only corrupt puppets paid off and controlled by their billionaire masters.
China hasn't surpassed USA in wasting money in offensive military. But they are catching up fast in that as well. As for the rest, it is like comparing a horse to a ferrari.
Wait till you see the war ☢️
CN military spending has been on par with GDP growth, and they kinda have to with the bullshit the US is doing around them
Except Chinese weapons manufacturers aren’t allowed to make a profit when selling weapons to the Chinese military, so the Yuan can stretch a lot further than the Dollar to avoid waste.
FYI, Chinese weapons manufacturers can profit from selling to foreign buyers, but obviously can’t sell their most advanced weapons. They love Middle Eastern princes at their annual defence expos 😂
yes and it is cool as fuck
Wait till you see what happens to it in the near future ☢️
I had to check the date on the video to be sure UA-cam wasn't showing me something from the 00s, because this might have been a serious question around when UA-cam was founded.
I rode the Shanghai metro on my way to my job in China in 2016 through the art of the business district
Great discussion, thanks.
The reason why infrastructure has taken a back seat MIC pays the government better. Corruption rules supreme. Peace
No it's because of the coming war with China
Interesting. Imagine instead of paying soldiers and military officers that are stationed in their 800+ military bases around the world, they instead train them to be construction workers and engineers. Instead of paying for guns, planes and ships etc, they pay for tools, diggers, cranes etc. But US needs to hold onto their military power.....
"The government" was always rich European men with a penchant for war. Don't you guys learn that even in your misshapen history texts?
16:28 Water 💧 RACISM in the US
The US is the homeland of racism.
Total BS I live in mixed community in the South and we get notices for boiling water due to contaminants. The water all over US is filled with heavy metals antibiotics pharma drugs hormone disruptors and more crap you ever want to know. Tired of this race card BS. we are all affected by our Government trying to depopulate us.
Keep it real today if China claim #2 in building infrastructure nobody going claim #1 unless they have no shame 😂
This is what US and China need. Younger generations people talking problems and comparing in a non-confrontational and honest manner with a view to understand each other better.
Countries that lead the world in 44 critical technology* sectors:
1. China = 37
2. USA = 7
3. UK = 0
4. Germany = 0
5. Japan = 0
Top5 manufacturing countries (share of global output 2023):
1. China (38%)
2. USA (16%)
3. Japan (7%)
4. Germany (5%)
Between 2013 and 2021, China alone contributed more to world economic growth than the G7 combined.
China = 38.6%
Canada, France, UK, Germany, Japan and the U.S = 25.7%
US look at china as a competitor
China look at US as another India
This show is so urgent and needed !! let’s western and non western people sit and talk about overlaps and what we can learn woth one another
I try way more than I should
Unfortunately infrastructure in the US looks exactly like the President, OLD and Falling! 😂😂😂😂
An embarrassment! But we can send 160 billion to Ukraine oligarchs and the military industrial complex cronies. Meanwhile US is falling apart in every aspect
I just asked a blind man, but I aint surprised to hear that he saw them so clearly. Except India, seriously 😂. They just look the other way and say no.
Is this a real question???? Ever and ever asked!!! China has overtaken since years USA not only in infrastructure!!! What is more important in china now are a immense amount of well educated still growing and in much less and declining !!¡!!(only to mention a few)🤠🤠🤠🤠🥳
Lol forget about China, they are world apart....
Wait till you see what we do to China ☢️
Of course!
Do you really have to ask 🤨?
Followers of western mainstream media need to be educated 😂
67 trillion is what you owe me
🇨🇳⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
11:19 State owned vs Pravate sectors benefits
infrastructure in china is in many ways far ahead of US, but that is no reason to be satisfied. for example, recent floodings in the north is a reason for public uproar. true it wasn't nearly as bad as Katrina, but it could have been handled better. do what one can and don't use other countries, such as US, as excuses.
China is not interested in bettering others but to improve its citizens lifelihood.
Is that why 28% of Chinese workers live in dormitories?
I have been ethiopia and have seen the Chinese built metro in addis ababa. The Chinese care about helping others.
What I see as the problem in USA infrastructure is companies in the eighties exported manufacturing to China reducing taxes available for local services now whatever funds are there are for generous superannuation payments to government retirees no more money in the cookie jar
Crackhead take
Facts b facts
The NY Times can copy your title tomorrow.
"surpassing" you mean surpassed?
Good and very impresive subject or topic for our livehood not comparision of which country higher GDP or GNP
most important is what country is higher PPP(Purchasing power parity) and should be consider living enviroment
such as transport,electric,water,tele-com,internet access,health facilities,public service,banking,delivery,house
convinience shop,public safety,Noise,leisure,Park,Polusion,trafic,hyigine even important for human morality including
behavier,law in order,culture,religion,media,crime,and Gap between rich and poor...all of this can be effective to
our living enviroment and feeling comfortable conditions common knowledge So therefore do not fall to these

I'm just not any good
As a Chinese was born in 1973 grew up in Shandong Province, I have never seen 停电 since 1990s , why you as a person born in 1990s , “very often “ 看到停电？还有中国远远到不了自满的地步，随便一个例子，日本西班牙至今人均高铁里程比中国高，中国媒体总报道中国5G基站世界第一，但是韩国无论人均基站和网速都远远领先中国。还有，最重要的，中国三十年后这种巨资基建如何维护好，现在就该计划了
The guy said they still have blackouts because of not enough power. So I don’t think the Chinese infrastructure is even close to USA or European.Just imagine having power cuts in europe.
双厨狂喜啊！！！
No, China isn surpassing USA on transport, USA already did it 20 years ago. China alone has 60% of Highspeed railroads and more than 30k km if I'm not wrong
Seems the railroads in America were built by the Chinese!
Can China 🇨🇳 mass produce passenger planes??
Ramping up for that. Watch out Boeing and AirBUS.
Yes, the first Chinese-manufactured passenger plane, the C919, completed its first commercial flight 2 months ago.
2:25 after all, they all contribute to *The Economy.*
there is one economy, but right wingers love their "invisible lines." (borders)
China infrastructure unfortunately have hidden danger. Though I am sure national projects are well monitored its the other construction that are the worry. Its undeniable that there are corruptions in China and unfortunately there are reputations of unscrupulous Chinese contractor cutting corners for more profits and that could cause future catastrophe.
Shouldn't reducing cars or at least reducing the growth and spread of cars be a "climate" or "environmental" ecological goal considering the oft mentioned "climate change" tipping point or danger zone or eventual global calamity or whatever you want to call this fashionable thinking about global warming catastrophe that is supposedly right around the corner for our grandkids or whatever. I am just repeating sentiments that we hear often from a certain environmentalist tradition. It is somewhat similar to the tradition of fundamentalist Christians forecasting the end of the world etc. This is from the book of Revelations if I am correct.
I see that China is focusing on bolstering consumerism. Meaning what? Isn't consumerism basically the main economic model already? Bolstering it means more more more. This sounds very American. Bigger faster better more more more. Shouldn't reducing or replacing cars as a main economic driver be minimized or transitioned to better forms of mass and local community forms of transportation that lower the energy output per aggregate people moved? This seems like one of the quandaries of the day. How come we rarely hear about the energy per person moved equation? Probably because this is a slam dunk argument against individual or family cars.
If only we could make all roads go downhill then we wouldn't spend so much energy ha ha.
You've said everything except the inevitable conclusion: China is CAPITALIST.
Don't be a busybody. Care just about your country's infrastructure, leave US's to the people in the US. It is all a matter of priority. The USA may want to prioritize on technology and as for India it celebrates when its population overtakes that of China's.
Don't be a nationalist. Nationalism is insidious and always leads to wars.
Imagine the idea of celebrating over millions more than you can feed, clothe and house. I cannot.
Is BN placating to China again much more than any other country? Yes. Infrastructure isn't as important as democracy, individual rights/freedom, and socialism.

India is planning to build their nationwide infrastructures to be on par with China or even better in 5 years time. So in 5 years time, India infrastructures will far better than US too.
In five India is still dont have enough toilets that thousands percents guarantee........!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ain't gonna happen for India for a long, long time.
reach the level of US first, LOL. overall India still far behind US. this level of confidence is often built on ignorance. most indians have never stepped oitside of their towns, much less speaking their country. go out see the world more and then you will be less likely to be fooled by your goverment. that applies to indians as well as americans.
India started planning their nationwide infrastructure a lot longer than 5 years ago, they also planned to exceed China’s economy decades ago. Wishing for something doesn’t equate to effective execution, and there’s no other country like China when it comes to delivering on promises 😂
you don’t need to be a great genius to understand that the infrastructure in the United States will begin to fall apart disastrously quickly In a few years, if you don’t turn towards total repairs and the construction of new infrastructure
China's flood control system needs a little work. 😂
China hasn't surpassed USA in wasting money in offensive military. But they are catching up fast in that as well. As for the rest, it is like comparing a horse to a ferrari.
No way China will spend as much as the US on military. China's defence budget is about a fifth of US's. The US budget is larger than the next 10 biggest spenders combined.
