China does tend to have a track record of finishing big engineering projects early. :)
The Chinese projects I admire is the non fancy stuff. Like building trains.
I personally like technological advancement in general. China has a good mix of practical and immediately useful tech, but they also do some moonshot projects like this. Even when these projects don't work out, something interesting is learned in the process.
