Also a completely integrated local and low-cost supply chain, unlimited access to cheap physical labour and an incredible government overreach to ensure every company is towing the same line.
To further note:
The authors caution that nuclear power is still not cheap
It’s a similar reach that a certain loud orange man is trying to instill E.g.. As long as it doesn’t directly negatively impact your life, you probably won’t notice too much.
Oh? Is the orange man building nuclear plants and high speed rail at a rapid pace and for super cheap?
No? Then can you explain to me why this comment is relevant at all? I’m aware that China has shitty policies in regards to some minorities, but are you insinuating that’s the reason they’re able to build infrastructure so quickly?
No? Then who is being oppressed when companies are forced to “tow the line” and complete a project quickly instead of stopping to sue each other and/or the state constantly like they do in North American? Am I supposed to feel bad for Guangxi LiuGong Machinery Co? Is China Energy Engineering Corp Ltd crying in the corner?

No, he is drilling for oil & gas because it’s readily available and aligns with his party’s vision of national interest.

China is building energy independence to be able to act geopolitically independent, not to be a saviour of the world (i.e. national interest). They can do it quickly domestically because no one can stand in their way. The current republican party is creating a framework to also reduce the amount of resistance they face when enacting their vision.
I’m not asking for anyone to feel bad for macroeconomics… Just not to indiscriminately believe that overreach is a good thing when it happens to align with our own interests.
Looks like a strategy that no western country can copy. It requires careful planning ahead and domestic manufacturing.

Yup china also knows this, that’s why they build much more renewables
Sounds like just the right amount of reach to me.
