minus-square@Big_TwerplinkEnglish0•edit-211 months agoI’ve only got two decades of civil engineering experience in Europe china and now the uk to draw on. I can’t provide a source for the absence of Chinese reporting on land costs because you can’t prove a negative. Although it should be blatantly obvious that comparing the cost of building something in the uk to the cost in china is simply pointless. Here’s a link to a high speed train collision in china that killed a heap of people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenzhou_train_collision And another one: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/high-speed-train-derailment-china/ … and a link to construction labour deaths https://clb.org.hk/en/content/china’s-most-dangerous-industry-getting-more-dangerous The point being that china has a very different equation when they go about doing things to here in the uk. Frankly I shouldn’t have to do this for you.
minus-square@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tflinkfedilinkEnglish1•11 months agoYou’re supposed to be providing sources about how the land was forcefully purchased at a low and unfair price. Not that trains derail.
minus-square@Big_TwerplinkEnglish1•11 months agoAs I stated, china don’t publish that information and it doesn’t take a genius to work it out. Troll.
minus-square@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tflinkfedilinkEnglish1•11 months agoWhen my beloved Arsenal built the Emirates, people said that they were low-balled. That claim is part and parcel with any forced possession. However asking you to prove that the valuations were low isn’t asking a lot.
minus-square@Big_TwerplinkEnglish-1•edit-211 months agoObviously blocking you doesn’t work otherwise I wouldn’t see this nonsense. I’m not your personal Fucking google assistant. If someone tells you it’s raining outside do you ask them to prove it or do you look out of the fucking window?
