2. Successful mercantile exploitation of trade relationships with the west, US in particular.
3. One-party totalitarian commie government with no obligation to its citizens and unconstrained by laws can do whatever it wants to show off an image to the rest of the world.
4. Apart from that, there's massive demand for high-density transit in China because it's so densely populated. A comparison with India makes more sense than the US in this regard. (India has lots of passenger rail, it's just filthy and decrepit)
>>2034054>>2034053Yes, in fact, land is typically harder and more costly for the government to acquire under capitalist governments. More importantly, a government seizing land is objectively not aligned with capitalist principles, and that's all there is to it. But capitalism never exists in a vacuum and unlike communism never pretends otherwise.
Capitalism is not an all-encompassing utopian ideology that requires a whole bunch of impossible conditions to be met before you can validate any of its retarded claims. Capitalism is merely a system emphasizing wealth generation through private ownership, free market pressures and individual incentives. That's it. Any government can support capitalism to a greater or lesser degree by guaranteeing individual property rights and enforcing free and fair trade as much as possible, balanced against principles derived from other sources (religion, culture, nationalism, socio-political systems and theories of government). It's accepted that wealth generation isn't everything and maintaining any free and fair system is a never-ending struggle against corruption and subversion. When problems appear in a liberal-capitalist system, you use free speech to discuss the problems and come up with solutions balancing free trade against the relevant greater principle. This is inherently difficult, but worthwhile to attempt.
