It baffles me how Americans can say, (paraphrasing), "on one hand it is illegal for Chinese journalists to report on public project failures, but on the other hand, I haven't heard of any public project failures."

That’s not what the parent comment said at all?

Americans know very well that their public sector fails to execute projects on time and on budget. They just don’t think the tradeoffs to convert to the Chinese system are worth it, nor are the benefits of the Chinese system exclusive to that system.

It was written to agree with the parent, not disagree. Yes, that does break from the normal comment thread cadence of agreement on odd layers and disagreement on even layers. ;)
