Recently I took my second short trip to China namely the Shanghai delta belt - Hangzhou versus my first trip to Shandong sometime last year.
Growing up as a kid with relatives in China and watching/hearing the Malaysian Chinese relatives relating to us the happening in China back in the 60s and 70s versus NOW, the leap and bounds seems unstoppable for the development at key strategic zones.
In 1990s the former Malaysia PM Tun Mahathir lead Malaysia business delegations to invest in China. Fast forward 34 years (2024), reverse happens and the ASEAN region is hungry and dependent on China investments and infrastructure development funds.
15 years ago, I went back to USA and back to the Ithaca where I stayed, studied at the Ivy. I took my family with me for 3 weeks to tour USA and Corning where I once worked.
The town were old worn and nothing significantly new.
As the saying goes, SEEING is BELIEVING.
The West will die of its own doing and natural death. Asia will grow at its own pace. Even if Asia does nothing status quo, the west will decay and not progress.
China has correctly focus on investing in infrastructure development the lifeline of all economies.
The high speed train, airports are the veins. The inland waterways for centuries remain the artery of transportation of goods as people rely less or more correctly no longer depend on the waterways to move about but top grade high speed train.
Major tourist attraction landmarks are filled with local Chinese tourists.
China is probably best describe as rag to riches story over 60 years.
