I’m a plumbing contractor for 35 yrs. Plumbers have a saying, “you can tell how advanced a society is by how they deal with plumbing, sewers and drainage.” If a country has fake drains, fake sewers and floods a lot, then the country is primitive, and not an advanced country.

Well... Xi asked the engineers, if it is possible. And they told him, it is possible. So Xi said: okay, let's do it. It's too simple to blame the one person in charge of everything, but what about all those okey-dokeys below? Aren't they to blame, too? The one thing to blame Xi in my opinion is, that as a leader he fails terribly to encourage those people in China capable of achieving great things. There are those people capable, but due to the system those will never get a real chance, because of shoelicking whimsy-winies on all levels of the chinese bureaucracy preventing them from doing so.

China has all the fertile soil because of past record flooding that brought in all the rich sediments. It is part of their geography and environment in China. The problem is, they keep building dams all over China; including that massive Three Gorges Dam which is the largest in the world. When the rains and typhoons come, they have to discharge water from the dams which results in even more flooding down river, worse than if they hadn't built them to begin with. They have to do it to prevent a breech of the dam. Also, smaller poorly built dams break with all the rain that region gets. They planned everything out poorly. If the Three Gorges Dam breaks, it will send a torrent of water into China's heavily populated cities. It would be massive destruction of their infrastructure and military. The communist CCP is constantly putting their citizens in danger because of GREED! Their haughty arrogance will be the destruction of the Chinese.
When they're nailing 10 foot boards to a bridge so you can't see the disaster on the horizon, you have to either question sanity or reality, and the Greatest Country in the World has a problem in both areas.
You have no more pollution and manufacturing base and soon no more jobs but only dept to private banks. Good luck to you, China will be carbon free soon with new fusion nuclear tech that not even the US has.

Africa have their hands on their Uranium now and Russia and China are arming them, so good luck to you.
@@LCol718lol all I can think of is a Mario underwater level. Amazing how I still remember the music. In all seriousness though China could use a few million Marios and Luigis to fix their drainage problem...
As you were showing the picture I was wondering what barrier Chinese authorities will put up to block the view of the public of the underwater railway station. Then I thought perhaps they won't and call it the worlds largest man-made reef.
I dont think it is a drainage system problem. Many experts had warned Xi about the area is prone to flood due to it is the lowest part in the region. But Xi would not listen.
How to make Chinese propaganda videos involving buildings: -Drone footage -Over saturation -Unnecessary speed-ups and slow-downs -Timelapse of construction
I remember seeing on a video (perhaps a year ago) that this entire city is built on a flood plain near a swamp. There is no easy way to avoid it flooding during heavy rains. But Pooh Bear wanted it done so Pooh Bear got it done.
They used the same engineers and contractors tha built the Three Gorges dam. They built it straight across rather than putting an inward curve on it. The center is already shifting outward from the water. Any bets on how much longer that will last? Even our beavers here in Colorado know how to build a proper dam.
@@bradmiley We all live in a a yellow with red CCP sticker submarine, a yellow with red CCP sticker submarine, a yellow with red CCP sticker submarine...
When i was living in Dongguan, which is in Guangzhou. The city built a fancy subway system. But flooded all the time. They spent a lot of time fixing it.
When I was in China pre Covid I picked up Mao's little red book translated into English. The page I opened said something to the effect of "Down with the Class System". If you look at the Chinese flag it has 4 stars each representing one of the classes in existence now. Party, Military, Entrepreneur and worker. Each class has it's own access to goods. So much for the glorified Mao.
Xi Jinping shouldn't have to worry about his legacy. I mean, Zero Covid didn't work, the economy sucks and his billion dollar railway station has become a submarine pen. But... just think of all those great animated children's films he has starred in as the bear with the red shirt who had a pig and donkey sidekick! Those heartwarming stories will make chairman Xi immortal.
I kept thinking just how unskilled they are at public relations. Winnie the Pooh is actually a popular character; being associated with it is actually a good image. But they are just so bad at PR and so out of touch that they cannot figure that out.
I have studied North Korea a bit and I am shocked at the comparison. But one giveaway is that those men surrounding 'their leader' aren't carrying little pads of paper and a pencil. lol I am also so shocked at China's decline, but happy for surrounding countries being able to pick up the slack of all the companies leaving and share the wealth a bit and hopefully treat their workers better.
We're having a new fast track train line built that the price and completion date keep going up here in the UK. A few years ago it was in the news that they were talking to a Chinese company to come here and build some of it! I laughed, thinking about the checks that would be made on the company, the overseeing authorities constantly checking their work. Never heard it mentioned again 😂
WHAT? Why aren't you like the State of California, where their Communist Governor NewSCUM, contracted for the Chinese to build a multi billion dollar "Railroad to Nowhere", which now after having several cost over runs due to BRIBES that had to be PAID, has cancelled it!
Answer: yes that is a good solution, IF, and only IF they could dig hundreds of thousands of miles done within one hour. That is impossible with this century's technology.
I was going to say that building a train station in the middle of fields makes it very inconvenient (we have a few TGV stations like this in France, some of them are even semi abandoned), but apparently they plan to build quite a lot of stuff around it. Who is supposed to come live there, I still haven't understood that.
Speaking of the 'blue filter' used in the landscape video, is vegetation in China really that weird neon green color I typically see in footage from there or is that a filter too? Is this something built-in to most smartphone cameras there? 🤣🤣
That building was impressive in scale, what a shame! FtCCP. It’s beyond tragic for the people and animals, their homes, livelihoods, futures, there’s eventually going to be another Great-Leap-Forward type of mass starvation with so many of their critically-needed lands, crops, fish-farms, and livestock, markers, shops, roads and railways for transport ing food and supplies washed away, under water and lost. I can see something really big and bad happening there, I mean, be deliberately caused to by G, in an attempt to mitigate these incredible disasters and their aftermaths. I’ll go adjust my tinfoil top hat now, lol, but, seriously, even a bright young child could see it coming, imo. And it’s not only China, either, however, China is undeniably in a league of its own. 🎩
China simply couldn't give a toss about anyone who is a) not a party member, and hence b) not living in Beijing. I was utterly stunned that they DELIBERATELY FLOODED these towns so party members didn't get their bloody feet wet.
10:10 I have to say, you were completely WRONG about this statement - "you cannot account for natural disasters" .. actually , you can. As a Geologist, my JOB is to do exactly that. We inform governments, landscapers, and archeologists about FLOOD PLAINS. We tell them, see, this entire area... it will FLOOD if you get X amount of inches of rain within X amount of Hours. These AREAS should NOT BE BUILT UPON. So ... this entire scenario with this Railway Building could have been avoided, IF ... they listened to their Geologists. However, its quite apparent, they did not.
I saw this station on a tv show a while back, something about mega projects and they were praising it. I remember saying to a friend that it would probably collapse in a few years and no one would know about, I guess I was wrong about how it would fail.

@@lordbacon4972 Yeah man that would be a death sentence for them lol. What they probably did was stock pile a bunch of footage before they left to show off the BS that was going on in China. I’m sure they planned this for a while.
The lack of drainage systems and stormwater management is astounding. China's ancestor's knew the importance and necessity city drainage and stormwater management, they have buildings thousands of years old that have well engineered drainage that proves this. ~ CCP's priorities are wrong, it should FIRST build stormwater/sewer management systems into their cities and urban areas to prevent flooding, protect lives, property, crops. And then the government can focus on mass transit, freeways, passenger and freight rail and High Speed Rail. ~ Stormwater/sewer management systems are the basic building blocks necessary for the foundations of all city structures, these projects should be #1. ~ If the Chinese people had to choose between good drainage or High Speed Rail, I'm sure they would choose good stormwater drainage that protects their lives, their crops, and their property, rather than High Speed Rail!
China is actually very good at building drainage and stormwater management. The problem is, in the mid 1900s the Chinese were attacked by invaders and driven out of thier country, remaining only on the island of Taiwan. The people left on mainland China became serfs to the invaders - the invaders and conquerors were called the 'Communists' and they still have mainland China under their control. Hence why Taiwan coped with the same storm extremely well.
@@Debbiebabe69 ~ Mainland China is corrupt from it's leaders and their policies. CCP Government Inc. is just another corporation that has owners and directors. This isn't just China, but the whole world is set up this way. The owners of the governments and corporations are the rulers behind the scenes. Everything is they do is fraudulent, such as creating currency from nothing. They serve the god of this world, the Devil, who is the father lies, and was a murderer from his beginning.
0:44 This made me chuckle, ngl... Also the Oil paper umbrella report at 0:13 was a nice touch. Definitely a helpful utensil to use when the water is 2m deep or deeper.
That won't be much comfort for anyone who ends up moving into the city they plan to build around this tens-of-billions vanity project. Can't make much use of the biggest train station in the world if every accessway is submerged in meters of water
People in case you forgot,the Channel Tunnel that serves the UK and France had been in existence for 30 Years now, it's 50 Km long,making it the longest underwater tunnel.this rail tunnel is therefore not surprising at all.
@@JohnJaneson2449 by not making houses where tornadoes are frequent,🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️how will u control flood when its from a typhoon u moron, there is nothing u can do when the amount of water is that huge.
Maybe China is more brilliant than we think it's a train station in the dry season. It's a station to dock your yachts during the wet season. The lower levels are aquariums to keep all the exotic fish that come in during the rainy season.
Well, the silver (or green) lining in getting the station flooded is that they won't need those strips of green to simulate grass. When the water recedes they'll have a field of weeds (Xi-weeds)- like no other....
oh yeah? Does Canada imprison Muslims and put them in camps? Do they make people and their families disappear for criticizing the government? Seriously shut up. You may not like your government, but comparing them to a brutal dictatorship is a disservice to the people who actually live in terrible countries.
But no country on earth can exceed the insessant low levels that the Chinese government can reach. I mean, how many Chinese leaders have been responsible for the deaths of millions of their own citizens? There's no comparison, right? Ping has gone one better, not only has run down his own country's economy, allowed a pandemic to leave the country, lie about it and then it kills millions of people around the world? And then to paint himself into a corner with war against US and her friends over Taiwan? Canada's government cannot be as low and immoral as that, surely?
So amazing how a country like China is immensely expressive of Communism. I can't help but laugh whenever I remember this. Communism is an Eastern European Ideology, it's not one bit Asian let alone Chinese.
Some of who would be promptly arrested on fake spying charges. Then eventually exchanged for Chinese criminals being held in their home counties. AKA “ the two Michaels” from Canada.
They have them, but they are all working in the supply chain of manufacturing of western products. Construction industry seems to be in domestic hands.
If TRUE IT IS UNDERWATER THIS IS THE BEST NEWS I HAVE HAD ALL DAY , I HAVE BEEN SAYING NATURE WILL WIN . MEGA PROJECT ,MEGA DISATER , WHICH ONE DID THEY REALLY PLAN .
I just cannot help feeling a huge amount of schadenfreude when I see the ongoing collapse of "The Middle Kingdom." Many people express compassion for the Chinese people but the have lived under tyranny for 5000 years and seem unable to establish anything else for themselves. People get what they allow and get what they deserve.
Same for the Russians, these nations have been run by cruel dictators who use the people like pawns, without even being subtle… I wonder if these people can even find the mindset to desire freedom and self governance?
Chinese people as a whole are a lost cause and a blight on the world. If they all disappeared in a mushroom shaped “storm” the world would be a much better place.
Bottom line, their creative minds may have great ideas but their manufacturing is so gimped with cost cutting that whatever they create is an endangerment to society, by default.

On the other perspective, they built not just the largest railway station in Asia, but the largest submersible railway station in the universe, great engineering for the great leader
How many architects, engineers and builders will accidentally fall out of the windows from seven story buildings now ??
They won't fall far before hitting water.
I thought it was Ruzzia that had a bit of a "window malfunction" problem...

Can’t wait for the memes. Like submarines waiting in the railway station to leave lol. Xi is a meme factory at this point.

Now its Asia largest aquarium!
See? Turn that frown upside down and spin a positive! WAS railway station, NOW new incredible underwater experience. With Added Cholera to take home ABSOLUTELY FREE!!
To be fair, building a lake is probably good for the environment
The only time China does anything good for the environment is completely by accident.
not when that lake is contaminated from industrial waste from flooded buildings.

China has all the fertile soil because of past record flooding that brought in all the rich sediments. It is part of their geography and environment in China. The problem is, they keep building dams all over China; including that massive Three Gorges Dam which is the largest in the world. When the rains and typhoons come, they have to discharge water from the dams which results in even more flooding down river, worse than if they hadn't built them to begin with. They have to do it to prevent a breech of the dam. Also, smaller poorly built dams break with all the rain that region gets. They planned everything out poorly. If the Three Gorges Dam breaks, it will send a torrent of water into China's heavily populated cities. It would be massive destruction of their infrastructure and military. The communist CCP is constantly putting their citizens in danger because of GREED! Their haughty arrogance will be the destruction of the Chinese.
thanks again lads. the media blackout is horrific and near absolute. "The Govt. that can give you anything can take away everything."
When they're nailing 10 foot boards to a bridge so you can't see the disaster on the horizon, you have to either question sanity or reality, and the Greatest Country in the World has a problem in both areas.
My sympathy goes out to the people of China who are threatened by these natural disasters.
North Korea is China's past and its future.
That is the best summary I've ever heard.
Nice to know that China's pollution is so bad it looks like the draw distance in TES3:Morrowind. 😆
Aahhh. The classic Chinese scenery draw distance. Smog sometimes so bad you're convinced you're playing Silent Hills 1.
You have no more pollution and manufacturing base and soon no more jobs but only dept to private banks. Good luck to you, China will be carbon free soon with new fusion nuclear tech that not even the US has. And Saoudi are pro China and dumping the dollars now so soon no more oil for you is going to cost more.
Africa have their hands on their Uranium now and Russia and China are arming them, so good luck to you.
Now you have a cool huge underwater level. 😂
@@LCol718lol all I can think of is a Mario underwater level. Amazing how I still remember the music. In all seriousness though China could use a few million Marios and Luigis to fix their drainage problem...
As you were showing the picture I was wondering what barrier Chinese authorities will put up to block the view of the public of the underwater railway station. Then I thought perhaps they won't and call it the worlds largest man-made reef.

I dont think it is a drainage system problem. Many experts had warned Xi about the area is prone to flood due to it is the lowest part in the region. But Xi would not listen.
Hi guys! I see we have a celebration of the Xiongan New Lake today.
Very prestigious. Very suitable. New lake for New China.
How to make Chinese propaganda videos involving buildings:
-Drone footage
-Over saturation
-Unnecessary speed-ups and slow-downs
-Timelapse of construction
Its gonna make a good footage, yeah.
I remember seeing on a video (perhaps a year ago) that this entire city is built on a flood plain near a swamp. There is no easy way to avoid it flooding during heavy rains. But Pooh Bear wanted it done so Pooh Bear got it done.
Same here. Read it also.
11:23 It brings me great joy to know that serpentza is also a mass effect fan
China's innovative inland submarine pen. Future is now lol
They used the same engineers and contractors tha built the Three Gorges dam. They built it straight across rather than putting an inward curve on it. The center is already shifting outward from the water. Any bets on how much longer that will last? Even our beavers here in Colorado know how to build a proper dam.
Really amazing video's ❤❤. Keep on going.
Is this going to stay underwater with the next typhoon (Khanun) coming in?
it's going to become a submarine!!
We all drown in our Chinese submarine... Sing along!

@@michaeldendulk2230 Very nice! Very patriotic! Very fitting! 😂
When i was living in Dongguan, which is in Guangzhou. The city built a fancy subway system. But flooded all the time. They spent a lot of time fixing it.
When I was in China pre Covid I picked up Mao's little red book translated into English. The page I opened said something to the effect of "Down with the Class System". If you look at the Chinese flag it has 4 stars each representing one of the classes in existence now. Party, Military, Entrepreneur and worker. Each class has it's own access to goods. So much for the glorified Mao.
Xi Jinping shouldn't have to worry about his legacy. I mean, Zero Covid didn't work, the economy sucks and his billion dollar railway station has become a submarine pen. But... just think of all those great animated children's films he has starred in as the bear with the red shirt who had a pig and donkey sidekick! Those heartwarming stories will make chairman Xi immortal.
I kept thinking just how unskilled they are at public relations. Winnie the Pooh is actually a popular character; being associated with it is actually a good image. But they are just so bad at PR and so out of touch that they cannot figure that out.
" the land of shortcuts and facades " . I like that !
So they flooded rural villages and did unknown amounts of damage only to fail in saving Xi’s pet project.
I know someone’s head will roll for this.
No they didn’t ruin it, they “enhanced it” by adding a lake front view. All they are missing are the sailboats gently gliding across the water.
The next high level CCP member that suffers stroke/ heart attack/ unfortunate traffic accident.
I have studied North Korea a bit and I am shocked at the comparison. But one giveaway is that those men surrounding 'their leader' aren't carrying little pads of paper and a pencil. lol I am also so shocked at China's decline, but happy for surrounding countries being able to pick up the slack of all the companies leaving and share the wealth a bit and hopefully treat their workers better.
I was just talking about this kind of thing in China yesterday with friends. They were amazed!
We're having a new fast track train line built that the price and completion date keep going up here in the UK. A few years ago it was in the news that they were talking to a Chinese company to come here and build some of it!
I laughed, thinking about the checks that would be made on the company, the overseeing authorities constantly checking their work. Never heard it mentioned again 😂
WHAT? Why aren't you like the State of California, where their Communist Governor NewSCUM, contracted for the Chinese to build a multi billion dollar "Railroad to Nowhere", which now after having several cost over runs due to BRIBES that had to be PAID, has cancelled it!
I am not a civil engineer but couldn't they do ditches and canels to channel water away? Would be simple and cheap.
Wasn't that what Three Gorges and the thousands of other pointless, environmentally damaging dams were supposed to sort out?
When the amount of water is that huge, there is just nothing u can do. Nobody can beat mother nature.
Answer: yes that is a good solution, IF, and only IF they could dig hundreds of thousands of miles done within one hour. That is impossible with this century's technology.
I was going to say that building a train station in the middle of fields makes it very inconvenient (we have a few TGV stations like this in France, some of them are even semi abandoned), but apparently they plan to build quite a lot of stuff around it.
Who is supposed to come live there, I still haven't understood that.

Speaking of the 'blue filter' used in the landscape video, is vegetation in China really that weird neon green color I typically see in footage from there or is that a filter too? Is this something built-in to most smartphone cameras there? 🤣🤣
This has to be GCam ugly unnatural processing or some similar app that has beauty filter turning 65 yr woman into 18 yr.
Depends, are you referring to the dead trees that they LITERALLY PAINT BRIGHT GREEN??
And staple leaves onto...
That building was impressive in scale, what a shame! FtCCP.
It’s beyond tragic for the people and animals, their homes, livelihoods, futures, there’s eventually going to be another Great-Leap-Forward type of mass starvation with so many of their critically-needed lands, crops, fish-farms, and livestock, markers, shops, roads and railways for transport ing food and supplies washed away, under water and lost.
I can see something really big and bad happening there, I mean, be deliberately caused to by G, in an attempt to mitigate these incredible disasters and their aftermaths.
I’ll go adjust my tinfoil top hat now, lol, but, seriously, even a bright young child could see it coming, imo. And it’s not only China, either, however, China is undeniably in a league of its own. 🎩
China simply couldn't give a toss about anyone who is a) not a party member, and hence b) not living in Beijing. I was utterly stunned that they DELIBERATELY FLOODED these towns so party members didn't get their bloody feet wet.
Well they can use it for fish farming and then sell the polluted fish to dumb Americans in Walmart, Costco and elsewhere!

10:10 I have to say, you were completely WRONG about this statement - "you cannot account for natural disasters" .. actually , you can. As a Geologist, my JOB is to do exactly that. We inform governments, landscapers, and archeologists about FLOOD PLAINS. We tell them, see, this entire area... it will FLOOD if you get X amount of inches of rain within X amount of Hours. These AREAS should NOT BE BUILT UPON. So ... this entire scenario with this Railway Building could have been avoided, IF ... they listened to their Geologists. However, its quite apparent, they did not.
Now China has the biggest water park in Asia....
The Xiongan HS railway station cost around 4.3 billion USD to build.
I just heard that the new movie waterworld will start filming soon because they have found the perfect setting.
My guy with the tie has a lot of patience for always getting cutoff while speaking.
It is now the world's largest submarine station.
I saw this station on a tv show a while back, something about mega projects and they were praising it. I remember saying to a friend that it would probably collapse in a few years and no one would know about, I guess I was wrong about how it would fail.
In the future railway station could swim by itself 😂

World First Underwater Railway
China just recently cancelled a 100 billion dollar deal with Germany to buy their cars. They must be hurting financially.
The lack of drainage systems and stormwater management is astounding. China's ancestor's knew the importance and necessity city drainage and stormwater management, they have buildings thousands of years old that have well engineered drainage that proves this. ~ CCP's priorities are wrong, it should FIRST build stormwater/sewer management systems into their cities and urban areas to prevent flooding, protect lives, property, crops. And then the government can focus on mass transit, freeways, passenger and freight rail and High Speed Rail. ~ Stormwater/sewer management systems are the basic building blocks necessary for the foundations of all city structures, these projects should be #1. ~ If the Chinese people had to choose between good drainage or High Speed Rail, I'm sure they would choose good stormwater drainage that protects their lives, their crops, and their property, rather than High Speed Rail!
China is actually very good at building drainage and stormwater management.
The problem is, in the mid 1900s the Chinese were attacked by invaders and driven out of thier country, remaining only on the island of Taiwan. The people left on mainland China became serfs to the invaders - the invaders and conquerors were called the 'Communists' and they still have mainland China under their control.
Hence why Taiwan coped with the same storm extremely well.
@@Debbiebabe69 ~ Mainland China is corrupt from it's leaders and their policies. CCP Government Inc. is just another corporation that has owners and directors. This isn't just China, but the whole world is set up this way. The owners of the governments and corporations are the rulers behind the scenes. Everything is they do is fraudulent, such as creating currency from nothing. They serve the god of this world, the Devil, who is the father lies, and was a murderer from his beginning.
0:44 This made me chuckle, ngl...
Also the Oil paper umbrella report at 0:13 was a nice touch. Definitely a helpful utensil to use when the water is 2m deep or deeper.
That really is an advanced train station, it can transform into a Xi-Port or even Xi-World?
Billion $$ ???
ouch.
It’s like a hidden secret
This whole China-drainage issue is quite the _running_ joke 😂
...... it is now a ferry terminal.
They really thought the submarine tourism industry was gunna take off
the other thing I noticed was NOT ONE SINGLE TRAIN .
The footage where the station is supposedly underwater does not show this. It is too far to see whether it is submerged.
That won't be much comfort for anyone who ends up moving into the city they plan to build around this tens-of-billions vanity project. Can't make much use of the biggest train station in the world if every accessway is submerged in meters of water
People in case you forgot,the Channel Tunnel that serves the UK and France had been in existence for 30 Years now, it's 50 Km long,making it the longest underwater tunnel.this rail tunnel is therefore not surprising at all.
Build an $80 billion train hub on a flood plain. Forget to create flood control. Xi Jinping is a master strategist.
Did u forget to create tornado control system.?😂😂
Flood control is real, tornado control is not real.
Sad and fatal logical failure to inability to understand the difference between real and not real.
@@JohnJaneson2449 by not making houses where tornadoes are frequent,🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️how will u control flood when its from a typhoon u moron, there is nothing u can do when the amount of water is that huge.
Maybe China is more brilliant than we think it's a train station in the dry season.
It's a station to dock your yachts during the wet season. The lower levels are aquariums to keep all the exotic fish that come in during the rainy season.
I thought they were building an underwater railway, is this not it?
It could be the first of many...
Well, the silver (or green) lining in getting the station flooded is that they won't need those strips of green to simulate grass. When the water recedes they'll have a field of weeds (Xi-weeds)- like no other....
China and Canada have a lot in common in the governments. If it has lower levels, they could open a new aquarium!
oh yeah? Does Canada imprison Muslims and put them in camps? Do they make people and their families disappear for criticizing the government? Seriously shut up. You may not like your government, but comparing them to a brutal dictatorship is a disservice to the people who actually live in terrible countries.
But no country on earth can exceed the insessant low levels that the Chinese government can reach.
I mean, how many Chinese leaders have been responsible for the deaths of millions of their own citizens?
There's no comparison, right?
Ping has gone one better, not only has run down his own country's economy, allowed a pandemic to leave the country, lie about it and then it kills millions of people around the world?
And then to paint himself into a corner with war against US and her friends over Taiwan?
Canada's government cannot be as low and immoral as that, surely?
they even has the same initial letter in their names lol
So amazing how a country like China is immensely expressive of Communism. I can't help but laugh whenever I remember this. Communism is an Eastern European Ideology, it's not one bit Asian let alone Chinese.
Perhaps that should be instructive as to colonialism. First opium, then Western inspired political model. Who is the puppet master?
Being the target of a hit-piece in a major daily. They say all press is good press...
They need some western or European engineers along with inspectors.
Some of who would be promptly arrested on fake spying charges. Then eventually exchanged for Chinese criminals being held in their home counties. AKA “ the two Michaels” from Canada.
They have them, but they are all working in the supply chain of manufacturing of western products.
Construction industry seems to be in domestic hands.
Thanks for the info guys
If TRUE IT IS UNDERWATER THIS IS THE BEST NEWS I HAVE HAD ALL DAY , I HAVE BEEN SAYING NATURE WILL WIN . MEGA PROJECT ,MEGA DISATER , WHICH ONE DID THEY REALLY PLAN .
They will spin it as how the heavens are blessing Xi and China. Water symbolizes wealth. Lol 😅
Underwater train stations sounds like something from 3024
I just cannot help feeling a huge amount of schadenfreude when I see the ongoing collapse of "The Middle Kingdom." Many people express compassion for the Chinese people but the have lived under tyranny for 5000 years and seem unable to establish anything else for themselves. People get what they allow and get what they deserve.
Same for the Russians, these nations have been run by cruel dictators who use the people like pawns, without even being subtle…
I wonder if these people can even find the mindset to desire freedom and self governance?
Chinese people as a whole are a lost cause and a blight on the world. If they all disappeared in a mushroom shaped “storm” the world would be a much better place.
When will the live show take place?
They don't have money to help people with jobs but they have lotsa monies for underwater projects!
Bottom line, their creative minds may have great ideas but their manufacturing is so gimped with cost cutting that whatever they create is an endangerment to society, by default.
