We will always be stuck with -> run our parallel programs! We have been doing that and invest whatever we could.
China spent $30B because they could and We spent $300 M again because that's what we could.​

Pretty sure if we look at proportional approach, their GDP is 5x of us. We should've had invested at least $6 billion, but we barely did even 5% of that.

You know how serious we have been as a Nation! it's not surprising neither shocking what we spend on such critical projects!

The world basically operates on: "Jiski Lathi Uski Bhains" <-> ""Whoever holds the stick, owns the buffalo."
