Interesting! A shame they didn't collaborate to ensure the roads would make sense but at least they've proven that roads are built without a central authority. I wonder if our improved communications will make this a much easier task...

And important to note: they do happen to have a monopoly in charge of building roads, which was simply not doing its job. They handled the situation as they could. Considering it was a poor region when all this started, it's quite impressive!

Very interesting article this one. Thank you for the link, herzmeister.

BTW, Wenzhouneses should be informed about Bitcoin. Something tells me they'll love it! Wink
