Two Things You Can Say About the Chinese:

without comments

1) They love their big engineering projects.

Telegraph: “New Beijing airport to be world’s biggest.”

(Best line, re: how the thing’ll be constructed in under tree years:

“…government-funded developments in China are not subject to planning procedures, environmental objections or public inquiries.”

Them commies like their stuff built fast.)

2) They appreciate a nice baby sandwich.
