So people could see the anntennas shaking from the street that sent people fleeing like Godzilla was coming after them. The solution ? Remove the anntennnas on the top of the building so the shaking cant be seen from the ground anymore !!

Looked more like plumbing vents to me. Removing them will not fare well, either.

Shenzhen's third tallest skyscraper, the 356 meters tall SEG Plaza, shook once again for the third time in May after similar shaking on the 18th and 19th.

SEG Plaza building shaking like a mofo. They try to blame subway trains and winds.....





What are the odds it's "white supremacists"?

Watch just the first 55 seconds to make your jaw drop but I would watch the whole thing. I would be terrified of being in any building that was made after 1949 deadly. Happens again and again and again. A lot of times the thumbnail pics on videos are clickbait. Nope not these. There are obviously more.

If you hear this in China,"We are here from the government to help you."

They steal our technology, realize we over-engineer for safety reasons, and make it cheaper with inferior materials and cut corners. Then **** breaks, and they don't really care if a thousand or more people die.
Oh, I don't know about that.

You're dead on correct about not caring "if a thousand or more more people die". However, in typical communist/tyranny fashion, it's very likely a poor manager/architect or some other person will be charged, and its already convicted for the crime.

Now, it won't be the person responsible for causing the problem, but everyone will be satiated.

Say what you want to about Mexican (Architecture or their construction methodology), but it's what lit my lightbulb to become one.

They do some beautiful work down there, on average, IMHO, their Architects are better designers than most American Architects, or at least more creative. They also build using their best resources. We use wood and they use masonry, each fit better in each environment, for the most part.

Mind you their environment (climate) is less severe but they do a good job on seismic engineering; lots of tech is shared between us.

The ChiComs do **** work, who doesn't know that?

Two dams in China's northwestern region of Inner Mongolia have collapsed after torrential rain, the water ministry said on Monday, highlighting the safety risks posed by ageing infrastructure during the summer flood season.

The dams, in the Inner Mongolian city of Hulunbuir, collapsed on Sunday afternoon. They had formed reservoirs with a combined water storage capacity of 46 million cubic metres, the Ministry of Water Resources said.

People living downstream were evacuated, with no casualties reported, it said.

The ministry said that on average, 87 millimetres of rain fell in Hulunbuir over the weekend and as much as 223 millimetres at the Morin Dawa monitoring station.
Quote:

Hulunbuir's city government said on its WeChat account that 16,660 people have been affected, with 326,622 mu (53,807 acres) of farmland submerged. Bridges and other transport infrastructure had also been destroyed.

Footage posted on Chinese social media showed one of the dams being completely swept away by the water, inundating nearby fields.

China has more than 98,000 reservoirs used to regulate floods, generate power and facilitate shipping. More than 80% of them are four decades old or older, and some pose a safety risk, the government has acknowledged.
Quote:

A lack of financial resources means that nearly a third of the total number have not had mandatory safety appraisals completed, Wei Shanzhong, deputy water resources minister, told a briefing this year.

That doesn't appear to be a safe place to watch that, to me.

I have seen this. Sidewalks, escalators, elevators. streets and more. They reach up and kill you. It is like their infrastructure is a serial killer. Tons of videos of this on YT

Any corner will be cut to make quotas or goals. It is a cornerstone of communist ethic there. Just don't be the one caught holding the bag when it finally causes a big problem and a scapegoat is required.

Inferior materials are substituted, key components left out, corners cut, quantities fudged, process steps skipped.

Sometimes it is inconsequential. Other times it is very much consequential.

If you zoom in you can see a couple either doing a selfie or having someone take their picture.

Not seen are all of the white tourists the Chinese people trampled and threw out of the way to get to this scenic overlook first.

As long as they keep bleeding our gdp it can go on. My time in china was 12 years ago and everything was rotten from the inside. Rain inside our office building, tens of thousands of empty malls and office space, etc. it hasnt slowed down yet.

But we have sunk to their level. A socialist society cant produce anything of quality, ever, period.

So I should move to China because I'm not rooting for the death of poor ass farmers and villagers that the CCP gives zero ****s about?

And this is why the whole infrastructure bill is so massively frustrating. There has always been bi-partisan support to do something there, but the traitorous Democrats refuse to support it without also doing massive welfare, Marxism, and racist policy tagged to it.
