Why is There Corruption with Infrastructure Projects and Dams in China?

No doubt the Chinese are great builders of infrastructure, and perhaps they are more in infrastructure construction, and then even other species of this planet, for example, the giant ants that build colonies. A look at the Great Wall of China to realize that when China gets serious on infrastructure, nothing can stop them. If you’ve never been to Beijing, Shanghai or even the province Quangdong and saw all the buildings, infrastructure, factories, airports, etc., will never forget.

In fact, the Chinese have the largest dam in the world. It’s so big with so many tens of billions of gallons of water that has changed the balance of the planet and actually delayed the rotation of the Earth in a measurable quantity, as in micro-seconds. Some say it has also caused problems with the tectonic plates in their regions, and altered the flow of continental drift. How? Some say that an even greater number of large ice shelves that have been paid to the poles.

The project of the Three Gorges Dam is not alone. The Chinese have built tens of thousands of new dams in almost all waterways and rivers. Unfortunately, many of these reservoirs have been made the work of poor quality and have the same problem of corruption that the United States was in New Orleans and Louisiana. This means that many of these dams in the future may fall during earthquakes or extreme load for a year of severe flooding.

Why is there so much corruption in respect of infrastructure projects and dams in China? Apparently, the Chinese have learned a lot about capitalism, but apparently have not learned to long term, the required ethical standards and regulations to make everything work. In endemic corruption, one must wonder if China will experience a major flood last 100 years. If and when that happens, there will be a culprit, Chinese corruption. It has it all please.

Not long ago, I spoke to Guang Wu, the author of a new book, “China: Approved Last Chance!? And said it was a question that the Chinese government Treaty and that often blows in the media world out of proportion.
