It is strange that you chose China! Have you seen how many kilometers of urban freeways they built in the last 30 years? It is crazy. Look at the Beijing ring roads -- a traffic clogged hell space.

No, but I have you seen the Beijing metro:

and it sounds like it got a lot better than car transport during the same period.

China has built out both while the US has let both crumble.

The Netherlands also has both amazing public transit and amazing highways.

The US would rather argue over slashing the already meager social safety net and buy some more fighter jets, nuclear aircraft carriers, and modernize the obsolete ICBM force than invest in infrastructure these days.
