The one child policy and the nightmare that will cause is not just a social policy.

And yes, China's infrastructure is very very impressive, however it's also true that when everything has been built in the past 30 years, it's inevitably going to be a lot more efficient and modern than a country that has a lot of legacy baggage. A prime example of that is probably the UK, who are still trying to keep Victorian-era rail infrastructure working. Tearing out old stuff and replacing it is time consuming, complex, and expensive.

Alright, you act like China isn't older than the UK or the US.

It's older than both combined.
