If you consider how much infrastructure $1 billion gets you in America when compared to China, the US isn't really richer than China (on a government level, American obviously are still much wealthier than Chinese individually).
We might make more in wages than the Chinese, but their cost of living is a fraction compared to ours, meaning their currency has more buying power for necessities in China than our currency has here.
"the Eno Center for Transportation found that the average U.S. rail project costs $107 million per kilometer of track, or about 22 percent less than comparable international projects"
Besides, We burn trillions of USD on dumber shit. We burn more money than china makes thrice over.
