While the United States has spent the last few decades asserting global dominance through military and political interference, China has been building-literally and figuratively.
Since 2013, China has invested over $1 trillion in infrastructure projects across Asia, Africa, and Europe through its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). At home, it has constructed over 25,000 miles of high-speed rail, more than the rest of the world combined. In contrast, Amtrak's Acela Express - America's closest equivalent - reaches an average speed of just 65 mph. Even the recent $1.2 trillion U.S. infrastructure bill barely scratches the surface of what decades of disinvestment have eroded.
