Let's choose the best

CHINA's devastating rain news has become headline news in world's media these days. It has claimed 37 lives and destroyed sizable physical properties. It has been embarrassing for China as it happened on its capital city, Beijing. Beijing residents are sharing their plights through online. Also accuse government for delaying information about weather change. Most of people relied the data through internet rather than government news. Meanwhile, the China official highlighted that one day rain was equivalent with usual 6 months volume. The fact say it is the worst experience in over 6 decades. Anyway, there have been questions raise to concern the quality of infra-structure in other cities. People of China doubt with government's boast on developing nation with world-class infra-structure now.

What make me think instantly from this news is that I am wondering whether our officials are awarding China companies for infra-structure projects in our country or not. As a least developed nation, we need to build a lot infra-structure projects across the country. I know it is inevitable to put aside Chinese firms as they may approach government tenders with enormous discount as well as interest-free loans. Our government officials have to be clever enough to think of China's lure if it come. We have inevitably been using Chinese products in past as there was no choice by sanction. Our people can afford cheap products from China regardless of quality or health concern. This is different time for our government as well as people now. We could have variety of firms to choose from. US, EU and other developed nations are willing to help us in building our nation now. We should take such opportunity when it knock our doors. We should realize the quality of China make product. How can we expect Chinese firms to do a good infra-structure if they even dare to do simply for their own capital city, Beijing? It is as simple as that. There is no way to award Chinese firms if our officials are free from corruption. Otherwise, we are more likely to suffer from the needs of frequent maintenance and at worse broken at all. Lets be wise and choose the best over Chinese firms.
