China itself is a testament to the extent to which infrastructure investment can contribute to development. Last month, I visited formerly remote areas of the country that are now prosperous as a result of the connectivity – and thus the freer flow of people, goods, and ideas – that such investments have delivered.
中国本身就是一个基础设施投资可以在何种程度上推动发展的极佳范例。就在上个月，我赴中国考察了那些原本偏远但如今因为基础设施投资而与外界连通——并因此带来人员，商品和理念的更自由流动——并因此实现繁荣的地区。
