As it happens, I just returned from a trip to Shanghai, China. I was amazed at the amount on construction going on there. Much of it is civil (new roads, freeways, etc), but there is also substantial amount of commercial and housing being built. Whenever I tried to point out that the boom in China was due to the (now deflated) boom in the US, and that sooner or later the slowdown was going to come to China too - I was reassured that "It's different here". Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens! Another interesting post. As it happens, I just returned from a trip to Shanghai, China. I was amazed at the amount on construction going on there.
