Why can China build a hospital in 10 days?

The latest hot spot is the spread of the new coronavirus. You may be surprised at China's rapid construction ability after reading the news. Let's see why China can do it!

1. 【advantages of national system】

Because centralization gives China enough space to move quickly without the time and energy consuming political nonsense.

In the United States and Europe, even when a state of emergency is declared by a governor or president, there is still an opportunity to be challenged and overthrown by the house or Senate. There is likely to be a long and endless debate, rather than quick action. Without the announcement of a national emergency, the government would have to negotiate with each individual owner on issues such as compensation, relocation time window and so on. Until an agreement is reached, nothing can be done. Such negotiations usually end in court and take years to resolve.

Another thing is that in the United States and European countries, most of the time, politicians put their own interests above national urgency. The current president's competitors will deliberately obstruct, bring a good excuse to impeach the current president, or fail miserably in the next general election for the current president. In other words, it's legal damage in broad daylight. This kind of thing will not happen in China. In China, in theory, the Chinese government can make a draft, pass the bill and take effect within one day. In any western country, the process takes at least two to three months, usually longer.

2. 【rich experience in infrastructure construction】

For decades, China has been carrying out large-scale and uninterrupted major construction projects nationwide.

They have everything they need to complete the task. Engineers with decades of practical experience, a skilled army of construction workers, ready to mobilize heavy machinery, reserve materials, site selection, almost everything. It just needs a command directly from the top, and everything starts right away.

And at any time, the hospital construction site maintains about 1000 construction workers, plus up to 200 excavators / heavy equipment / heavy trucks. 24 hours * 7 days, 3 shifts a day, and then there will be surveyors / designers / Interior / quality personnel. There are many people in China who are able and willing to work in the Spring Festival, the biggest holiday in China, because it is a valuable career for them. I think if this happens in the United States, the United States can also achieve it.

3. 【hospital design】

Obviously, China has learned a lot from the SARS epidemic in 2003 and has formulated a comprehensive mitigation plan to prevent another outbreak. The structure of the hospital can not be designed from scratch overnight. And China Mobile promised to connect 5g to the new hospital within three days.

This is not a general hospital. This is an infectious disease treatment center. When it's done, it won't be luxurious.

4. 【Others】

China is doing everything possible to serve the people.

Close the seafood market in South China, block many cities, start mask factories, transfer the emergency budget to Wuhan, and cancel many activities. Now thousands of volunteer doctors / medical personnel have entered Wuhan to fight in the front line. In medicine, the speed of isolating and identifying genome and sharing virus information is very fast. The whole country is ready for the fight.

In addition, who, China and other advanced countries are also working together to control the spread of the disease as soon as possible.
