So you have to spend money to make money and the west is surprised about it, because there wasnt a collapse of the company when it wasn't profitable, like it happens in the US with every investor bailing on the company and worsening the issue. Almost like infrastructure projects are worthwhile investments even if it does not provide short term gains

This once again highlights how market driven economies are simply not capable of delivering large scale projects. The horizon for profitability is just too far for any private investors to bother funding such an enterprise. And people living in such societies become unable to even conceive of projects on such a scale because that's completely outside their lived experience.
