Chinese built highway turns into Polish joke

Postby El Presidente » Tue Jun 26, 2012 6:33 am

Everything that can go wrong goes wrong when a Chinese firm attempts to build a highway in Eastern Europe:

---They underbid their competitors by hundreds of millions
---They ignored environmental regulations protecting local species
---They just assumed Poland was another third world African backwater they could bulldoze over, pave up, and collect the check
