    Does the traffic flow along as nicely as in Saigon?

    I have a basic 10 amp petrol generator. I used it for 3 weeks after the canterbury earthquake and I even threw an extension cord over the fence and kept the neighbours fridge and water tank full.

    I was there 3 weeks ago - Kiwis could learn a lot about smooth traffic flow and no road-rage shit.

    But the Chinese could learn a lot about smog control.

    It's not smog ... it is the actual (secret) mechanism for traffic control! (Ha ha, you thought they had got it wong )

    F I recall correct the one of the biggest failures in aucklands power was a rust u bolt failed. Supposedly scheduled for replacement later in the year.

    Yeah - we watched a people mover turn across three lanes of the motorway ring road to drive the wrong way down an on ramp in peak hour traffic and, basically, no one gave a fuck - just shrugged their shoulders and drove around him. The old smog is a bit grim, got a photo flying in, and it looks like thick cloud.....took a phot from the hill ranges to the north east, and you couldn't see the actual city........

    It's not about to change, China is desperately short on cleanish natural energy sources and they're burning unbelievable quantities of their own low grade brown coal. There's several new coal based generating stations built every month.

    Can't recall the numbers but their CO2 emissions from concrete poured in new infrastructure alone is massive.

    yes the politics are regrettable and the infrastructure/services aren't all they could be ....... but it's still so far ahead of the rest of the world in so many ways that some of us only wish we could come back

    Surely in Asia it would be either emissions trafficking or counterfeiting?

    Well when chine wants to do some infrastructure built they do it.
    They don't worry about the minor details...... they just do it.
    Whether that is ahead or is harking back to the old ways is debatable but they are decisive and they get shit done.
    not years or legal wrangles and environmental reports and legal battle that just get the lawyer rich.
