Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge: A microcosm of the infrastructure gap between China and India
In a corner of the Internet, the video of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge quietly set off waves, especially in the circle of Indian netizens, causing quite a stir. This sea dragon connecting Shenzhen and Zhongshan will be officially opened to traffic on June 30, 2024, shortening the original journey of 2.5 hours to half an hour.
From the groundbreaking at the end of 2016 to its completion in June 2024, the 1,666-meter-long construction miracle across the sea has a total investment of a staggering 46 billion yuan. Indian netizens can't help but sigh why their bridges can't be so stable, and why a rain can "eclipse" India's bridges. In contrast, the toughness and beauty of China's bridges have become a hot topic of discussion.
Not only that, but an Australian netizen from Sydney joined the discussion, admiring the speed and efficiency of China's construction, and expressing a good vision for his own country - hoping to enjoy the convenience of such a fast-growing infrastructure. However, he also reluctantly mentioned that his own country seems to be always exhausted by war and destruction, and has failed to focus on construction.
In terms of the quality of its products, China has also won praise. An Indian businessman in the tire business revealed that the quality of Chinese tires even exceeds that of European famous brands, and the price is more affordable. Unfortunately, the Indian government's anti-dumping tariff policy has made local businesses and consumers bear higher costs, which is undoubtedly a typical example of "shooting yourself in the foot".
The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge is not only a bridge, it is a symbol of China's infrastructure strength, and it is also a direct reflection of the gap between China and India in infrastructure construction. It makes us think that infrastructure construction is not only about technology and finance, but also a demonstration of a country's governance capacity. For Indian netizens, this may be a reflection and encouragement, pushing them to look forward to their own country showing the same strength and efficiency one day in the future.
