Who is the building company of those chinese highways? Is it Covec? Because in Poland they didn't manage to fulfil their contracts for some highways and, as far as I know didn't pay the polish hired companies punctually, or not at all.

Impressive? I've never seen anything like it! Can any country in the world claim to open 30 km of motorways a day.

While the US Interstate Highway system (65,000 km) was under construction from 1957 to 1991, they averaged only 5.2 km per day.

The U.S. had only 200 million people in the 1960's while China has 6.5 times that amount of people to serve and tax.
