The US government told PBS (An American non-profit TV station) to stop airing a documentary about China’s poverty alleviation efforts because the documentary revealed too much positive things that came out of China’s efforts to stop poverty in China (Which lifted 800 million people out of poverty). You would think such a positive effort for humankind would be congratulated by the US government officials, but instead the news was greeted by anger and hate by the American officials! So much so that they told PBS to not air the documentary on its channels! Instead, the US officials ramped up their anti-China propaganda on the US mainstream media, such as Fox News, CNN, MSNBC as well as on the American social media! That’s how much the US fears China’s progress and technological advancements!

​​​​@@grandwonder5858 I have to point out that China is the one being the bully. It is built into Xi Jinping's mantra which is visible on billboards all over China: The East ascends, the West declines. Imagine doing business with a country that while profiting from your trade overtly advertises its desire that you perish? China could have had it all but for its need to replace the US as the world's most powerful nation. There are many reasons to criticize the US but don't forget it was Western, and largely US, investment and technology that allowed China to develop in the first place. It certainly wasn't a result of Soviet aid or the Cultural Revolution. Furthermore Chinese hubris would never allow it to partner equally with India. China would have to be preeminent. That same hubris will be the agent of China's downfall.

If a gantry crane can consistently handle an average of 47 boxes per hour as reported elsewhere, this average is already about the most consistent and amongst the highest worldwide. Basically via crane automation, as planned at Singapore's Tuas port, each operator can handle 2 cranes at once; whereas in many developing economies, they would deploy 3 crane drivers to 2 cranes, increasing labor cost as well as slowing down productivity as the cabins are located some 90 m above ground. Anyway, I suppose your national port/s are automated?

Agreed that the description or translation about the container transport truck was inaccurate. From the video, I can see the back of the cab is transparent and the sides have 2 windows each. This video is almost 20 years old. Back in 2021, a port in Tianjin became the world's first fully automated driverless port using 5G tech. Containers are moved on the ground with automated driverless trucks.

Well done. Hat's off to the Chinese engineers and workers. Good luck for next project

No shore leave?

50:00 Instead of a bridge, an underground railroad (e.g. Boring) tunnel would have made more sense and been cheaper. It would have taken a fraction of the material and labor; would be immune to weather; would take minimal material and labor to operate; and would be faster and more efficient. In fact, they should be putting in such a replacement right now...or several of them...with provisions for routing. Provisions would be necessary assuming shifts caused by earthquakes (e.g. automatically operating airlocks and/or doors like ships have). It would have provisions for tunneling around or through breaks efficiently and quickly. And of course pumps to expel bilge water and circulate air. Air would come in via snorkels. Mitigating every conceivable failure and calamity would be a feature, not an afterthought. Remember, it hasn't been that long ago that containerization was proposed and implemented... by a single person and his company.
