Welcome to TheChinaInsider, the newest place on the web to talk about China

Did you hear about the massive five day traffic jam just outside of Bejing last week? Five days! How can that happen? I'll tell you how. It happens in a country where all roads lead to the cities. In China, the cities are its heart. But roads are, at best, old two lane highways. Or at worst, dirt roads used by country farmers and laborers bringing produce and goods to the cities. How can a country with an emerging middle class survive without modern highway infrastructure, sleek and wide? It can't happen. No infrastructure stops China's middle class growth explosion in its tracks. The Chinese government, and the world's business consortiums, won't let that happen. There's too much money to be made in China. Infrastructure failure will not be a roadblock (no pun intended) to the growth of middle class consumerism. The "Sleeping Tiger" will not let that happen. The days of Chairman Mao are over. Whereas the Cultural Revolution sent citizens to the countryside, now infrastructure will expland the cities and China's middle class. More to come...
