Exactly what did I say that was unpleasant? You're the one talking about "turd mud bricks" All I said is that while China has and is making major advancements in some areas, the sheer magitude of the most basic infrastructure improvements facing them will take many decades to put into place. It's like watching a society split into two halves. One fairly modern and industrial society consisting of a significant but small fraction of the population, contrasting with a pre-industrial agrarian peasant population making up the overwhelming majority of people. I just don't see the unfettered growth being able to continue for an extended period. A major correction is going to have to happen. IMO, the pace of China today has "bubble" written all over it.
