That model is, to some extent, a policy-induced construct, the result of a deep-rooted bias toward construction and manufacturing as the leading drivers of economic development. This predilection harkens back to the Great Leap Forward of the 1950s, when scrap metal was melted to meet wildly optimistic steel-production targets, thereby advancing Mao’s dream of rapid industrialization.
从某正程度上说，这一模式是政策导致的结构，是根深蒂固地偏好建筑和制造业作为经济发展主要引擎的结果。这一偏好可以追溯到20世纪50年代的大跃进，在这场运动中，为了满足太过于乐观的钢铁产量目标，进而实现毛泽东的快速工业化梦想，炼出了大量废金属。
