      I think he means that in China, if the government decides something happens, it happens. For example, with China’s rapid expansion of their high speed rail network, environmental concerns were often ignored and consultation with local residents near the proposed tracks often did not take place or was brushed aside to get the project underway as quickly as possible. Compare this to a western country where a project like a high speed train line would spend years getting bogged down in environmental consultations and feedback loops from stakeholders.
