Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 18, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

What you say is more about wrong policies (which is interesting in itself). Their real estate policy was a mistake, as is belt and road probably, but no one doubts that chinese can pour immense amounts of concrete in various shapes and lay tracks with the best of them. I am more interested in the moonshots that failed than the roads they did not take.
