And just like colonialists in Africa, they aren't building a railroad to help people get around their country or make their lives any easier, they're building a railroad from the mines to the port. Investment in infrastructure is not fungible; building new power plants and lines to service data centers does little (not nothing) to help the average person and if anything resources that would have been put into maintaining and expanding civilian service are being reallocated.
