I’m trying to learn more about modern day China, the recent history of China, and the material conditions and contexts that bring certain things into the popular news media.
I watch BreakThrough News occasionally, and this video came up today, and from my inexperience it seems to be a decent, neutral look at a small part of China’s public infrastructure compared to the U$A, where I am.
The hosts go back and forth sharing details about cost and goals and some political theory, so I’m interested in the more experience views of people on here. Is there anything that is left out that is important enough to mention? Are there any controversial topics in this video that one might miss if they aren’t informed?
Thanks for helping out a comrade learn!
There is no such thing as “neutral”, but BreakThrough News has solid, fact-based anti-imperialist coverage. In terms of public transit, Amerika isn’t even close to China, and AFAIK the difference in infrastructure is similar (the bridges ready to collapse at any moment, the lack of preparation for extreme weather, etc.)
