[quote=moneymaker]In one of Obama’s speeches the other day, he said he was amazed at how the Chinese government could build something (anything really) so fast. I’m not sure if they have red tape like we do, but somewhere they probably have committees that meet to decide such things as well. You could just sense how envious the President was that the Chinese could make a decision and have whatever it was built in a year or less.

No problem. A few more executive orders here and there, for many things I’m sure he can almost get the same result 🙂
The secret sauce for why the chinese have been able to advance so quickly is simple…(1) Deny the majority of the dumb people in the country the opportunity to have a say in the decision making process of anything (2) Invest heavily in well educated tech people and import experts from all over the world so they can learn from them (3) Dump a bunch of money into businesses and relax regulation to the point of almost “anything goes”
You really think they build they high speed bullet train all by themselves? Nope. They brought in the experts from europe…And now, they know how to build high speed rails…. Same could be said for other tech…
Democracy is the fairest system in the world. However, it’s not the most efficient system…
