Yeah so much copium on this shitty site whenever stuff like this gets posted. Most Americans are incapable of considering a rival country doing anything impressive.

What I can't seem to understand is why the USA doesn't do these types of projects. The US has all the money, owns all kinds of tech, has enormous empty lands, all the experts (remember that homeless LA lady Dr with PHD of Math that couldn't find a job and many more), has all the IPs but US just doesn't do any project.

If you take into account the capability of the US, Vegas sphere project was supposed to be a local news coz trains, building, bridges projects news would have engulfed it so much.

But since there is nothing else the Sphere became the national news.

Now politicians and citizens compete on stopping the California High Spend train from completing. It's lawsuits, sabotaging, corruption etc..

Then rush to comment negatively on China's big projects, it's just sad 😢. Search for any China project, any of them and then check the comments. No wonder they block all western social media.
