Amazing Cement Statistic
This is a bit old, but I just read about how China used more cement in three years than the U.S. used in the entire 20th century. Cement is one of the most important substances in human history and its usage is a perfect indicator for growth and construction. The fact that China used that much cement is a testament to the explosive growth they experienced. The alleged “fake cities” they built probably did not hurt this growth either.
