Now, China's big infrastructure plan seems to be in jeopardy:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-03/china-s-1-9-billion-silk-road-rail-project-goes-off-track
"A planned light-railway system that was the most high-profile project in Kazakhstan of China’s Belt and Road infrastructure program has hit a wall."
"There’s also the question of whether the population of the capital needs the project, according to Voloshin. “Astana LRT is probably that white elephant, that is, something that costs much and presents little relevance for the population of Nur-Sultan,” he said."
That is typically the problem with socialist plans: much money is wasted for things that, in the end, nobody really wants or needs because supply and demand can't meet on a free market with a functioning price mechanism.
