President Xi is building a capital city in remembrance of his dynasty's administration. It is intended to but retain a feature of modern life corrected. You know what it is: the urban sprawl that forces a commuter working for government to spend 50 minutes one way in congested traffic downtown DC.
"I'm bringing to the mid-city leafy parks instead of 'cough-producing traffic jams.'" Result: short commuter times to government work. The average commuter to work will be reminded of the contribution President Xi made to a gov worker's daily life: a shorter commute time.
On the other hand, President Trump is thinking of upgrading Washington, DC. He would like to be remembered, I think, as one who made the memories of the world's riches individuals living in the nation's Capital. They will, if he has his way, be remembered for holding up traffic to enable each richer person's car to go in front of every other's approaching a traffic signal! The rich will be given his due honor, that is to say, in a traffic jam's line-up!
My opinion.
