据美国《华盛顿邮报》24日报道,中国在3年时间内用掉的水泥超过美国在整个20世纪的全部用量,美国在这个世纪的水泥消费总量大约有44亿吨,而中国在2011、2012、2013这三年就消费了大约64亿吨水泥。美国媒体对此感到震惊,因为20世纪对于美国来说其实是大扩张时期,美国在这个世纪建造了几乎所有的公路和桥梁、州际系统以及世界上很多最高的摩天大楼。且就地理面积而言,中国和美国大体相当。 According to the U.S. “Washington Post” reported on the 24th, China spent more than 3 years of cement over the United States in the entire amount of the 20th century, the United States in this century, total cement consumption of about 4.4 billion tons, while China in 2011 In 2012 and 2013, about 6.4 billion tons of cement were consumed in the three years. The U.S. media was shocked by the fact that the 20th century was actually a major expansion for the United States. The United States has built almost all roads and bridges in this century, the interstate system, and many of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. And in terms of geographical area, China and the United States are roughly the same.
