Most sources say that the bridge costs 1 Billion Yuan, not 1 Trillion Yuan.

I think this is a giveaway that the dude behind the channel is not fromt he US but from a non-english speaking country.

For example in german we have slightly different terms for those numerical categories.

In english it's million(7 digits) -> billion(10 digits) -> trillion(13 digits) and so on.

In german it's millionen(7 digits)->milliarden(10 digits)->billionen(13 digits)->billiarden(16 digits)-> trillionen(17 digits)-> trilliarden(20 digits) and so on.

Because of the phonetical similarities, mixups can easily happen in translation. Dude is not only stupid, he also loves doxing himself.

Interesting. I would also point out that he claimed that the Duge bridge cost 1 trillion months ago from his older videos on China. So all this time, none of his audience pointed out that error 🤦
