Those kung fu movies of men punching through bricks and pillars make a lot of sense now.
😮😅😂
so true
😅 that is good one! 😂
iron fist and fingers
Westerners thought it was fantasy… but its not. Modern china buildings are stage props for the CCP's movie of prosperity
Just imagine where China could be if they culturally valued the quality of their workmanship instead of just acquisition of wealth and image.
I don't think the Chinese people actually agree with that but after 40 years of slavery under Xi they can't be honest even with themselves.
It could've been a bigger Japan
You have to make the same dollar err yen go 5x as far. It’s a systemic problem and virtue signaling. “Look we are building a house for every man woman and child” when in reality this is endemic of an immature inexperienced economy. The average citizen does not have many options to invest their yuan, real estate seemed to be the way to do it. Anyone else remember 2008? China doesn’t
Most investments are a pyramid scam unless you are manufacturing or growing something. Best to just be happy with what you have.
china: 🍚🍜😑 lol nahh
I used to live in a Country Garden development in Hainan , when it rained the underground carpark was live a swimming pool and there was open wiring taking on water constantly. The lifts used to fail and there were large cracks in the walls. You could literally hear everything going on above, below and to the sides. I also lived in an Agile development which wasn't as bad but it was still poor to be fair. There's so much corruption and corner cutting going on. I worked in one school that was just filthy and falling apart but it looked amazing in the promos and it was extremely expensive. Typical China, things look good on the surface but its all rotten and shoddy when you look closer.
The quality will be even worse for developments being completed in the next few years as construction budgets are slashed further in response to the current downturn.
That is communism promises so much but sh*t! 😂
Just like the CCP government, rotten and shoddy when you look close enough.
Thats how they make everything soo fast and also collapse soo fast truly made in china..
"...its all rotten and shoddy when you look closer..."
A description of the CCP.
Back in the late 90s, when buildings in SoCal were being constructed and cabled with cat 5e ethernet cable, all seemed fine. Until the buildings were occupied and the cable infrastructure began to be used. Strange errors began to show up. Packet loss, intermittent behavior, etc. The problem was eventually traced back to a couple of container loads of ethernet cable sourced from China.
To understand this properly, cat 5e cable consists of 4 strands of twisted pair solid core 24 guage copper wire. For you network nerds out there, each twisted pair has a different twist rate based on prime numbers. But that wasn't the issue. Turns out that the manufacturer shaved a few pennies off the cost by using 26 guage copper strands instead of the standard 24 guage. So this caused problems in punchdown blocks and RJ45 connectors. This also affected the transmission quality of longer runs of cable.
By the time this was discovered, miles of this crap had been installed. Pulling it where that was even possible and re-running proper cable was a costly nightmare. And all because some Chinese manufacturer made a few extra yuan by cheating on the cable spec.
Thank you for that detailed explanation. And the '90's part really rang a bell with me, cuz that's when I started learning about counterfeit bolts. Bolts of all kinds, from helo rotor pins, to bridge anchors. They'd stamp a hardness factor number on it, and it wasn't. It was always softer than what it was supposed to be. Believe me, there was a lot of nail biting and breath holding going on, as construction co's hoped they'd be dead before their projects caved in, and the lawsuits started! 😮
@@vaughnmcmillan8400That was partially the Clinton Adm. fault. They helped C h i n a into global trade if I remember correctly.
Reminds me of all the Chinese drywall that was used and then replaced all over the state of Florida last decade by the construction industry. What a costly mess just to save a few bucks up front.
@@midwestmike613
The Chinese drywall was used in Louisiana, too.
I worked for several American electronics makers, and was fully confident in telling potential customers that Chinese products were the most expensive on the market, and why. They took the adage of, "Buy cheap, buy twice", and made it, "Buy cheap, and it's DOA."
Even a magnitude 1 earthquake would be the end of some of these buildings.
Walking around led to a leg going through the floor!
Don't sneeze!
@@robertfarrow5853 Better not fart or belch excessively .
The Leaning Tower of Pisa may fall in a few centuries, but would not crumble thanks to its structural integrity. Tofu-dreg condos in China would at any moment.
Thats the absurdity of China, the modern buildings are less safe than buildings constructed a hundred years or more ago
theTower of Pisa is 850 years old
The leaning tower of pisa began leaning before it was completed, the builders compensated for this as they continued the construction.
@@darren25061965
to be fair, it took 200 years to complete
The Leaning Tower of Pisa doesn’t exist. It’s all a hoax.
May we all live to see the Tofu Empire implode in on itself.
The sooner the better.
Its effects the west too sadly
Kinda sad for the loss of innocent lives though I would think
What the heck is a Tofu-Dreg? It sounds like something you would call a homeless Vegan.
@@EmeraldEyesBibleSecrets Cheap, badly constructed things. It mostly refers to infrastructure.
People are also finding out that their homes are more radioactive than the water being discharged at Fukishima, even though the CCP are berating the IAEA for letting them release basically clean water. Don't the police and army either live in or their parents live in these collapsing buildings - surely they must be worried.
For many Chinese, whatever happens in your life comes down to fate- or luck.
Fatalistic to the extreme.thousands of years of boots on throats make a docile and submissive population. Cultural kowtowing to superiors in the hierarchy make this docility endemic
A friend was working in China a few years back building bakeries and described the absolute lack of understanding about quality. Steel was steel. Didn't matter what it's final use was. Mild, hardened, stainless. It was all steel and just use whatever is the cheapest.
Tofu is what the Chinese nation is built from. It lasts 3 months before dissolving into it's own fermentation. That's in a freezer, outside it lasts for 3 weeks.
So after the buildings collapses. they can build a new one every three months. All these add to the GDP. This is the secret of China's 10% plus GDP growth year after year.
Hey tofu is formulated from a 5000 year old traditional recipe!
@@wshyangify
dregs however is formulated from a 50 yr old corruption recipe
Are you saying that they rebuild the entire government from nothing every three months or every three weeks? Are you sure about that or are you just being a xenophobic racist?
I am horrified!
Imagine living in a city where your high rise is crumbling around you, the highway has massive sinkholes and in general everything could potentially collapse 😬😬😬
and if you dared to report anything you have a 50/50 chance of getting 'disappeared' because it doesn't look good for your leaders to have these problems reported
Reminds me of that videogame Disaster Report.
And all food has cardboard and pesticides in it and it's cooked in oil that was scooped out of a sewer
China has no Tegrity😂
Don't forget the food. You get to experience the whole periodic table.
This is what happens on corrupt government officials , greed for money and power 😢
What is going on in China has absolutely nothing to do with communism, certainly not with Karl Mark's ideals, it is pure vulture capitalism. After you've exhausted the value, they move on and let the ruined people back.
All government officials are bottom feeders. The entire existence revolves around extortion and nothing more.
In China fake is real
Fake is real made in China
You're referring to America right?
Imagine given time you could take down a 20 story building with your bare hands.
Good thing King Kong picked a building in America to climb. In China he would have fallen on his ass as the building crumbled before he got two floors up
Given enough time, the building will take itself down!
Let’s not forget that nuclear sub incident, the China military is also tofu 😅
Many nations have lost subs including the US and the USSR. China's soldiers are tough but the war machinery will fail.
Well to their credit those Chinese sub finger traps worked pretty good! Problem was, they were supposed to work against U.S. subs! So good of their commanders to not tell them where it was. Makes me wonder if their subs even have sonar? 😅
"We are born of the tofu dregs, made men by the tofu dregs... undone by the tofu dregs."
- Emperor Xi
What the heck is a Tofu Dreg? It sounds like something you would call a homeless Vegan.
As someone that builds these kind of buildings in the richest parts of the west, this is a horror show like no other.
Its a literal miracle we don't see collapses every day.
CCP loves to censor people. I would be surprised if that happens
If you do, then you belong in jail. Stop bragging about your criminality/
@@stischer47 Since when is it criminal to build high rises and apartment blocks?
I think you need to reread that post and reflect a little.
What about earthquakes?
give it time, give it time, ALL material objects are subject to entropy, the idea is when its a building one either repairs or you knock it down. the miserly cheap cheap cheap chinese wont do either, they will opt for the cheapest route and let them fall. and they're going to.
I'm devastated by the death of the children in all this. They have no say, no autonomy, no ability to save themselves because of the greedy and corrupted adults around them.
dont be sad they would have been the next scammers anyway
Not to mention the numerous mass child stabbings at schools by adults.
I was teaching in China at the time of that earthquake. I was so saddened for the parents and communities that lost so many children. Imagine losing your only child because you followed the one child policy.😭Also, my friend was a professional singer in Szechuan when the quake hit. It was several days before we heard she was ok. She said there were dead all over the streets and people were sleeping outside in fear of aftershocks. The main panda reserve in Chengdu suffered pretty significant damage. Staff and volunteers had to carry the pandas out and send them to other sanctuaries while the Chengdu sanctuary was repaired. Most of the panda nanny videos come from that reserve in Chengdu. One panda did die during the quake. I lived in the northeast of China and this quake was in the southwest. My city is surrounded by mountains on three side, so a lot of us didn’t feel it. However, my best friend felt in her office on the non-mountained side of the city. People in Beijing said they felt it too. It was pretty massive and very devastating for the Szechuan area.
yet, if they grow up they'll continue on. oh well.
And they think their military doesn't have this issue? Smh.
yeah they do, thats why they havent attacked yet
We know for sure it does because countries who buy military equipment from China say it's plagued with issues and malfunctions. We also know from the recent rocket tests where some failed and Japan recovered one that it failed due to its poor quality. This is why Xi was so upset because we got our hands on it and found out it was junk. Their illusion of strength is gone.
@@Mouzhappy They started attacking ten years ago, actually. They just haven't made it to the strait yet because everything keeps falling apart.
@@strilight 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CCP just tested their newest hypersonic missile. 3 out of ten did not launch, 2 fell short, 4 miss the target, and 1 went missing. It had an engine problems, construction problems, electronic problems, chips problems, and software problem. They have the same problems with their fighter jets.
Greed, power and corruption never change in China in thousand years till today.
If war breaks out you would only need the big bad wolf to huff n puff
A strike at the Three Gorges Dam would do it. That’s why they guard it with the military!
At this point.. the people should claim all those sitting shipping containers for the ships.. and make homes from them. It will at least last a lifetime.
Now watch as the steel Those containers were made from Turns out to be radioactive for some other b*******
This would be a good idea but the strength of the shipping container is compromised once holes have been cut into them to make windows or doors. The containers get their strength from its shape and having other containers around them.
Greed ...cutting corners for more profits ...putting people lives at risk for greed .
Yes, and the workers don't even care about the people who will be living in these death traps.
I don’t know why the people really complain. All Chinese are proud if they cheat others and they are handle by others people as heroes and smart . Is actually in the world where Chinese living.
Chinese mindset since ancient times.
@@gladiammgtow4092C o mmunist mindset. Not sure it was always that way in China.
@@gladiammgtow4092How do you know that?
Some get rich, some get dead.
2:09 is that styrofoam mixed into the concrete?
Yes
It's China concrete
It looked like it.
I am not surprised! They dont want quality, they are just simply wanting to earn money at whatsoever cause. Even if it causes them millions of lives, they don't care. And what is imitation if you didn't diligently study it??
Was the crane made with tofu dreg level materials too!?
The entire nation is like a play-doh town. Not play-doh though just blocks of fresh Tofu. Tofu has a short shelf life though, concerning if you live in or close to China.
Possibly; but if the collapsed bridge fell on the crane, it would end up in pieces no matter how well it was constructed.
Confucius say: Crane that fall from sky has broken wings made from CCP materials😂
likely not - it was poorly assembled, overloaded and out of balance
@@andyman8630 and made of substandard metal of some description, like the bolts and ties sent to USA for building
Some of the countries in the eu took part in the belt initiative like Italy. It would be interesting to take a look around there. Also the chinese developers have problems with some of their projects that they cant finish up due to European quality needs. Also this is an enormous problem because you cant just pull someone else in the project to fix the bad stuff. This is happening in Hungary right now they tried to call in western builder but those just show their middle finger lol.
yes some idiot in italy thought it was a good idea, they were not corrupted people but simply very stupid idiots the ones who did it: now with meloni we are pulling back from BRI, we realized soon the consequences, better late than never
What did u expect This is what happens when u use tofu as building material
I'd be surprised if any of their projects last more than 20 years, honestly.
I live in the US in the Midwest.
My house is almost 100 years old.
It looks like it was built 20 years ago.
The buildings are erected with a life span 10 - 15 or 20 years
Our apartment block in northern China is 10 years you would swear it was 100 years old if you saw it
Not a chance! 5 years max, take it from an old builder with 40 year's experience in Australia.
@@spikefivefivefive your american crap homes are barely better than chinese crap, i can punch through your doors easily. try punching through a german door or wall, you will break your skull or your bones.
@spikefivefivefive
The building I work in over 70 and it's still going strong, if I need of some minor repairs.
I lived for decades in Southeast Asia but never in China. I know else where in Asia the people are mostly humble , sweet , gentle , and endearing. However , when ever I would meet the Chinese tourist I found them proud , obnoxious , demanding , overbearing , and oblivious to the effect they are having to others around them. The always appeared very self centered as they hautily threw their money around thinking I suppose that that made up for bad behavior. I do not know if that display is true for all of China , but it was my definite impressions of the Chinese tourist when coming in contact with them. The famous ""ugly American"" tourist trope has nothing to be embarrassed about when compared to the Chinese. I was not impressed by this display of Chinese "'culture"" , if it is true that this is indeed their culture. It is only what I observed from the traveling partying rich (??) Chinese tourists as they were on vacation.
Yes, yes they are. And plenty more adjectives to be added to your list as well. And it’s not just for the rich. It’s their mentality, upbringing, and culture. Sadly, It’s a feature, not a bug. But there are some, who are good. Of course. As always in any situation or country.
Okey , Americans and British come second behaving like obnoxious self important low lives. So much for civilised , always finger pointing western world
Believe me, that behavior bothers some of the Chinese as well. Different parts of China have different customs. The more populous an area is, the more likely they are to be that rude tourist. I think it’s a competition thing. They don’t know how to leave it at home. The government actually published a pamphlet several years ago to give to Chinese traveling abroad because of their bad reputation. However, that was before Xi, so I don’t know if they still do it.
Stop blurring things out! Scenes like this, should be shown to get the full affect of what is really going on !
Blame RUclips and their oppressive demonetization policies.
Get mad at BoooTube.
CCP had an army of 50 cent warriors ready to file complaints for any minor infraction to take down a channel
6:30 i love how they randomly put a few bags with sand around that building, like they would do anything at all 😅
It's to hold down the tarp hiding the problem.
@@h5mind373 with such quality, there's nothing to hide, you'd see the unrepairable damage from miles
Maybe the answer is to make the builders live/work in their own buildings. Sort of like the ancient Romans who made the architect stand under bridges etc as the scaffolding was removed.
Oh you don't know chinese builders living condition. I was so shocked when i first visited the building site. They actually do live inside those buildings. And at that time only concrete structural elements were build. (columns,beams and floor slabs). But people lived there ,sleeping on top of those concrete slabs. Windows were not installed so it was so cold. (it was snowing outside, i think it was early spring )
Imagine a strong eartquaqe hitting those buildings.
I have scary too.
Or a strong wind.
@@th6566 a loud fart?
@@robertfarrow5853 Or a loud burp.
I mean, technically both can be strong winds 😀
It happened in 2008 and It was terrible
It is the time of the inscrutable Tofu Dynasty
Sounds like the sequel for Brave Fencer Mushashi, which had the Thirst Quencher empire and the All You Can Eat Kingdom.
Nothing sweeter than an enemy that sef destructs !😂
If the building falls at least they can use the tofu to make food
It’s like Idiocracy! 😂
Chinese construction is very Earth friendly because it degrades heavily over a short amount of time. XD
MADE in CHINA😂😂
If you are a resident of Florida, you will remember Chinese drywall fiasco
Why do i keep seeing what looks like perlite? Are they using that for aggregate?!
All those investments done from so many years of hard work will be gone in next 10 to 15 years due to this Tofu Dreg Construction
These buildings can't survive more than that
Very sad for Chinese Citizens who has spend money on this
The entire world is reaping the wrath of corruption
This is why our company doesn't use any construction materials from China.
I learnt about China standards by placing a "microwave safe" dish in my microwave. Lucky I wasn't in the kitchen when it blew the glass in the door too. Never ever buy Made in China.
If you're thinking even the metal from the crane snaps too? Metals made poorly from China are so brittle that you could bend some round bars with your bare hands just like those magic tricks that magicians do.
I remember watching a Chinese builder banging the rods on the ground and they were just breaking.
He was asking how to build with products like that?
This is so wild 🤯
How can these people wake up in the morning being proud of themselves and tell their children to be good lol
The fact these constructions can be achieved and sold to people is just pure evil...
They are told that they are better than "the capitalists", while the capitalists have a nice weekend driving around in safer cities using safer vehicles and enjoy the fruits of their labors.
There is a reason for the great firewall. It attempts to disguise the truth from the C h i n e s e people.
China uses tofu in their concrete, and concrete in their tofu 😂
Who knew buildings made in China would have the same quality of their products.
These buildings that are falling apart were built by the same construction industry that built China's dams, inclusing Three Gorges.
The implication here should terrify anyone living downstream of any dam in China (more than unannounced water releases already do anyways).
And wasn’t that brilliant, flooding your rice and wheat fields just as their getting ready to flower. I’ll bet they don’t reimburse the farmers and villages affected because they want to save their ritzy playgrounds in Beijing.
What gets me is the culture that allowed these buildings to go up is the same as the Chinese parents giving gifts to medical universities tutors for failing students so they came pass exams , the Chinese are filling our NHS with doctors and nurses .
Nothing will be done, because there is too much money in graft and corruption.
Multiple layers of corruption.!!
I thought USA had a bad infrastructure but compared to china we very go infrastructure just needs to be maintained better
The US has well made infrastructure, but it's largely 50 years old or more, and most attempts to maintain or upgrade it are obstructed by the Republican party who wants to defund everything in order to lower taxes for the wealthy. Two very different forms of infrastructure crisis, but both caused by the incompetence and greed of the ruling class.
That’s why the infrastructure bill was passed, to provide long needed updates to our infrastructure.
It amazes me that you're able to get such revealing footage out of China, and I thank you for doing it China Observer!
It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Chinada, and this video gives me something else to be thankful for! Namely that I don't subsist in China like the pore schmos in this video, that daresn't habitate in the skinny concrete closets they're on the hook for! It's just unconscionable!
In the meantime, I also pray that somehow, God will bless the deserving, and smite the guilty.
I'll huff, and I'll puff and I'll bl... oh it fell down by itself.
It isn't just mistakes from layers of subcontractors and inexperienced temp workers. A large part of it is corruption throughout China built into the culture which makes some construction companies substitute materials that aren't even designed for the job because it is a fraction of the cost and faster to use so they can pocket the money. It's the same type of things that happens with a lot of their counterfeit knock off products they sell throughout the country and worldwide for that matter. Those things use substandard materials as well since it's cheaper and faster to use but lead to products that fall apart and don't last any appreciable time.
Nothing has changed much. I remember when I was a child (many, many moons ago) anything that had 'made in China' on the label was considered cheap and of inferior quality.
Washing machines made in China and sold in China have the ability to wash vegetables. This is because the vegetables are covered in pesticides. Farmers never eat the vegetables they grow. The same goes for construction.
Hope for a revolution
Extremely poor quality typical Chinese made.
i"m a builder so I'll comment here. The quality of the materials have been compromised due to greed. There was no quality checks from the Project Manager on the Construction Company when they were installing the materials. Or the Project Manager was bought out / told to turn a blind eye.
Why would anyone have a chinese construction company do work for them?
People from China have no problem cheating others by selling poor quality things for inflated prices. (They refer this as "good business")
And usually the same people are complaining if they got cheated by others ...
The change should come from inside first, demanding all to change.
We have a quite accurate saying in Hungary: Every Nation gets a leader which the nation deserves ...
Tiananman square hasnt ever flooded as far as the outside world knows until this year. It was built in 1651 with 1651 drainage and it handles water 1000% better than any modern Chinese city
If scammers are allowed to get away with their actions, then they will outcompete those that doesn't cheat.
Are you referring to the pharmaceuticals that we get from China?
I feel so sorry for the poor in China. They have no way out unlike the criminals who escaped to the west with their stolen millions.
So even a level 3 earthquake would kill millions and not hundreds.
A few dozen people at most according to the CCP rather than a few million in reality. Then radio silence after a day or so.
Just another way to hide their horrific depopulation problems and maintain their squeaky-clean image.
Looks like birthday cakes
China is one big Potemkin Village!
they told us "they can build a building in 10 hour but they need ten year to find the tenant"
To know that the Great Wall is still standing, how the chinese degraded to this level?
.........wisely spoken my dear friend 👍
Apparently, there are some bridges in china that are about 900 years old.
Most of the video is like having 20 diopters :(
This is ridiculous. Corruption is a big and even huge problem in china
No! No none of this is evident BECAUSE YOU KEEP BLURRING THE IMAGE!!!!
I thought sand would be the limit, now foam... at least it's lighter and it's not like it's too much worse.
A % of concrete is supposed to be sand. Foam is infinitely worse!
This Is What hapens When Corupt Government Takes The Lowest Bidder On The Project !
I've seen Legos holed up better.
The sad thing is they build all over so if you are in any china built construction when trouble hits get the heck out.
Just as I thought… quality standards between China and USA are very much different.
Their suffering struck me. Lord please speak with these people ❤ be with them. Change the heart of these greedy builders....
It's not really just the greedy builders.
Say you have $1,000,000 to build a building.
The government demands bribes to get the permits, taking $150,000 just to start building. They also demand more of the money for favors to get by the inspections.
By the time you buy (fake) materials advertised by manufacturers, the end result is $400,000 of quality in a building big enough to cost $1,000,000.
That is the end result of government involvement in every aspect of life.
I lived in Africa for a while and it was similar in how a bribe was used to get paperwork, etc. done quickly.
Substandard construction method
Thank You For Covering These Stories.... Witnessed... Honored... Love Of All People... Chinese Peoples Been Through So Much... Trust. A Day Coming...
The USA 🇺🇸 needs to check them 2 Bridges China built for them, think 1 was near San Francisco
Most Chinese buildings are made using reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) which has a 30 year lifespan before it comes crashing down.
‘We won’t rest until the earth explodes and not until the universe reboots’ if this was the workmen producing adequate housing. It would be incredible. But a greedy corporation squeezing as much money as possible. It’s sickwning
China you never cease to amaze the American people with your advanced technologies in all that you do great job 👍 China you rock and you have the very best government controlling every move you make and grades you why do you put up with XI he's not to swift it you know what I mean
Structures are made to handle more than its needed, like house for 10 person, its structural strength shall be more than for 10 people, some structures could house 100 people in the house for 10 people. That why this type of issue is not a joke, this is corruption. RIP to those lives who are victims of massive corruption in China
God raised up Ron Wyatt to be an archeologists so that he could prove that the Bible is true. Heaven is real!
Yep and dragons bigfoot loch ness monster vampires werewolves etc. are all real and provable just because people think so.......just thinking about something makes it real
Forget reality and truth because fiction is real
And people just love to boast on how efficient the Chinese workers are! They can brag when they actually incorporate some quality into their efficiency!
And im the near future when Redchina or what comes after is so broke they can't build much, what they have is already falling apart.
If they so this with buildings for their own civilians, think of the B&R projects.
Id live in the countryside and make myself self employed if possible, because of the fear of just being one of the victims of walls and ceilings and debris falling over my head.
My gosh 😢 such a waste money !! Why CCP’s government concerned such a worst thing in the world ?
No wonder that this happens. The customers had to pay everything in advance. So there was no need for the companies to deliver value. in our country you pay only partly in steps of delivery, so you can check the quality at each step of the building process.
With the bribery and corruption in Chinese construction it makes we wonder about the Chinese military.
Chinese build everything this way 🇨🇳
These are not simply depictions of sub-par construction. What you are showing is paper housing dressed up as foundations and load bearing walls. Imitation and not a genuine attempt at reaccreting the real thing. Little more than glorified painted dirt huts ready to topple
i dont get your point! why would chinese construction be any better than chinese manufacturing?
If a strong earthquake will happen they're in a very big trouble
The Military is built the same way. Nothing to worry about
