Facebook comments be like “why are we sending money to Japan to build an island? We deserve the new island more! America first!”
Dibs.
Better watch out for China coming over to claim it.
Historical engravings in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang depict him foreseeing the rise of an island off the coast of Japan 2234 years after his death, to be claimed by his successors.
I can’t tell if this is real and china is already calling dibs, or if you made it up right now.
Here, we can see another illustration of the difference in philosophy between the modern Chinese and Japanese production and manufacturing culture. Japanese island architects have been carefully cultivating this undersea mount for generations, using painstaking traditional techniques, which are only now showing true signs of paying off; in contrast, Chinese island architects almost exclusively stick to rapid-fill dredging combined with concrete pours on top of coral reefs, which are generally considered to be a far less elegant and lower quality way of producing an island.
