@yogthos Well, I've got the opinion, that infrastructure shouldn't be operated for profit, so I've got no problem with investing a lot of money in advance. My points are meant from a technical standpoint. And when I refer to the costs, then I mean this in a way that I've got the opinion that the money should be invested in other stuff as well.

I don't think anybody is arguing this sort of stuff should be funded at the expense of other stuff though, and based on how quickly the standard of living is improving in China, seems that they are doing a pretty good job funding the other stuff.
