If you want to be rich, you must first build roads," says a Chinese proverb. The Chinese firmly believe that massive investment in infrastructure will help it keep pace with the developed nations. So China spends about 40-50 per cent of its GDP on infrastructure -- roads, bridges, trains, ports, technology, factories and office buildings in a bid to establish itself as a global economic superpower. The world's fastest-growing economy has seen average growth rates of 10 per cent for the past three decades. 中国一句谚语是这样说的——要致富,先修路。 中国人坚信,基础设施的大规模投资将帮助中国与发达国家并驾齐驱。 所以,为了建立全球经济超级大国的地位,中国将大约40-50%的GDP投入基础设施——公路、桥梁、火车、港口、技术、工厂和办公大楼。 在过去的三十年里,世界上发展速度最快的经济体见证了平均10%的发展速度。
