The political will in the West is lacking to move fast in recent decades and really support these kinds of projects. The CCP has something to prove, though, and right now they'll displace entire communities, disappear anyone who objects and destroy historic sites if that's what it takes for certain projects to get built.

That doesn't mean this isn't impressive. What's your point?

I think his point is that there are some boundaries over which we do not go, at least not easily. Meanwhile the disregard of Chinese governments for Chinese citizens can fill volumes :)

If you think the US government or industry haven't then it's because you've never read any history.

I've read plenty and the casualties are an order of magnitude bigger on the Chinese side.
