If you listen to Wall street that much at all or political outlets of the sort you will not go without a week or so without hearing the phrase. Why does it get used so much? I use to not question it for years, until I started benefitting from Feng Shui Acupuncture and others great Asian arts like Tai. So it slowly started penetrating my conscious if that was such a healthy thing to utter or even true at all?

U.SSR. legacy and massive infrastructure projects

However, now that I have come to visit former Soviet nations Armenia among others, I am noticing another story. It is perhaps one of the least credited aspects of the Soviet Republic. Millions upon millions, even today, enjoy water electricity and even vast residents that they built. They were perhaps the greatest building and social works organization up until today after of course the Roman empire.

Natural gas power plant: Armenia

How much did the USSR build and leave entrusted?

Hundreds of dams, water distribution networks, Power plants, roads, government buildings, countless residential complexes, performing arts centers, cargo transport ports, sports facilities, and even Universities and airports

Even three decades on, many of them still serve locals and tourists alike, though they have created a heavy strain on local and national budgets.

Back to China

Is Modern China only a product of outsourcing and lower labor costs?

As mentioned above, even the like of Apple and Microsoft took advantage of the massive infrastructure and public works injection and engineering from the Soviet era. Although, China today is largely transformed and removed from that history, it opened the possibility for winning a global growing prominance.
