its a mistake to assume that people actually operate off reason. what really happens 99% of the time is that they rationalize the reality that they are facing.

The more I think about it, the answer is quite simple. People are just clueless. I think of the so called liberals in college. They go on and on about people being exploited in third world factories, yet they never stop to realize that most people are working there willingly.

You are right and it tells a lot how the Western mainstream commentary misses this. A lot of the Chinese govt spending was used for asset generation. This is similar to those HSR copes. Now, at least they have HSR. What was the alternative to HSR for the fast transport of billions of humans each year? Buying gajillion Boeings and Airbusses?

I believe the argument that the mainstream commentary makes is that these assets are essentially worthless. Thus the stories of underutilized HSR, ghost cities, overcapacity, etc.

For example (2011)

Western Scam Bros: If we build the weapons factory on the front line, I can take all the transportation and logistics savings and add that to my pay package. Also, if the fake factory gets blown up on the first day of war, no one will ever know it was a fake factory and we can claim the cost of a real factory back on insurance.

Anduril is not that kind of scam. However, they are basically just the same US MIC but now with some weird looking techbro CEO added. Promise amazing capabilities, swear it won't be expensive, deliver on nothing, say more money is needed. We saw this with F-35, LCS, Zumwalt, Constellation, etc. The tech bro part, Anduril flooding comments sections and Reddit with bot posts. "They are moving fast! Failures will happen!"

Now, do you see why the Anglo led west tries to get foreign elites addicted to western soft power, art, culture, films, luxury products? It’s so they can get countries like China to do things for them based on “vibes“ as opposed to offering anything tangible. If you want to see what that looks like, look at Iran and India with compromised elites.

what else you can expect from India and Iran? Both India and Iran are non scientific civilizations which they compensate by latching into west and both also lack soft power so they also have to attach themselves to Royal Kingdoms.
The largest employer of Indians and Iranians are Gulf kingdoms. UAE never disclose the extent of trade dependency of Iran. they only said how many reside inside UAE or for that matter for global Arab investments.

Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to Tehran Khalid Abdullah Hameed Abdullah Balhoul, for his part, pointed to the presence of more than 500,000 Iranians in the UAE and also operation of about 300 weekly flights between cities of the two countries, noting that these amicable relations indicate a clear sign of close relations between the two countries that should be further strengthened.
