There are two kinds of bubbles - one that takes place in productive assets (canals, railways, telephone lines), and one that takes place in non-productive assets (tulips, gold, McMansions). When a "bad bubble" bursts, there is nothing to show for it; when a productive bubble bursts, we still have the infrastructure that can be exploited. If China has overreached, this kind of overreaching can still pay returns in overall competitiveness - with fewer supply bottlenecks, better domestic transportation networks, more options and greater opportunities for the rural sector. China's ambitious investments are creating more productive capital, even in cases of overlap. The China Eastern executive who was complaining that new railway lines will hurt the aviation industry [was not asking] for Beijing to call a halt to those projects? He was using the rail competition as an excuse to lobby for other reforms. Eighty per cent of air space in China is controlled by the army. Anyone flying out of China will know this, because flights are frequently delayed because the PLA has shut down air space for "security reasons". Giving more control of air space to commercial airlines would greatly improve aviation efficiency in China . . . and, ironically, this could come about because of the pressure of competition from the railway investments.
