I used to do a lot of blacksmithing and I can truly say I've never seen such poor quality steel/iron. I don't think I could even make steel that brittle on purpose.
I think you underestimated China's cheap nature lol They even "recycle" oils from the sewers and cook food in it. Fkn SEWERS at looks so fkn disgusting.
this is why canada had to legaly mandate that steel from china is prohibited in the contruction of buildings, or utilities. We replaced all of our cell towers that had this steel.
In China, it seems to imply that builders of the past ages have more integrity than so called modern developers. Edit : Didn't expect this much likes. Do be aware that I did used the word 'seems'. I am not implying that ALL modern developers of China are void of integrity, even though some of them are. Therefore, guys , please do not fall into the trap of stereotyping and preconceived judgements. Thanks.
Umm...no. If your family isn't born in that town or city, you can't get services like health in your new town or city. You have to go back to your town or city you were born from to get the major services. You have to buy a home to be able to get a service as a RESIDENT with a home.
I am one of those foreign forces. I am the black hand behind the fake Taiwanese election, and election in Hong Kong, and I am also making China look bad by destroying their very sound buildings. I am jealous of the rise of China, and wished that Denmark my country, would reach the same level of glory that China have reached in a record time. XD
Dude imagine being able to peel apart your own home. Being able to scoop the concrete with a spoon is so insane. And that steel looked like cheep fiberglass.
China is the only country where it is possible to reenact that one scene where Spongebob & Mr. Krabs literally packed an entire hotel room into a suitcase.
'Made in China' has never meant 'good quality' in the west. It's sad to see that it also holds true when it comes to Chinese construction in their own country.
Made in China was supposed to be bad quality back in early 2000, then they kinda redeemed when they got major brands producing their products in China, from "Made in China bad" to "You get what you paid for" as in expect $10 quality product for $10. And now we got this
A Chinese company won a contract to make a bridge in Bengal, India, when it collapsed during construction in early 2020. After the standoff in Doklam a few months later, all Chinese companies have been barred from road projects in India
@@intogreen3178 ahh shiit, they drown themselves already. have you heard other countries Dam collapsed as frequently as Chinese do? have you heard other countries mrt flood in water? my country also choose China to build their MRT because they are cheaper than Japan one.. and i just decide to never use those mrt..
@@intogreen3178 nope, i am real, that henan flood few days ago took huge casualties, got MRT line flooded with water. It is unimaginable, they are like building it without proper design. also some Dam are collapsing. i was so naive and thought it is just MRT, low qualities also got train carry people everywhere, not a problem. until last week, i realized that without proper design and study about surrounding environment, it is a nightmare. you don't want to get trapped inside mrt and see the water slowly flowing into train. you are either die by suffocated by water or running out of oxygen.. horrible..
Same in Mexico too. I recently bought a "luxury" seaside condo. Just a year later, the floors started to buckle, pipes would frequently burst and leak, random power outages, and elevator failures all within a year of construction
yeah, but most if not all of the condo/housing and all building that are located in tourist parts of mexica, arent from mexican companies or owners, most of them are from cheap construction company, owners mostly from america or spain
The fact that Japanese, korean, chinese are Siblings. like i mean, 2 are the best and 1 is the worst, like literally, i love japan so much, the sell decent price with high-quality non-breakable stuffs, and awesome things, man, idk why china is like this.
Is.... is it possible that if one person with a Japanese knife is given a month or two to take down a whole building just using the knife could do it? With mud walls like that i feel like they could dig out a whole corner of the building and cause it to fall.
I have on occasion cursed our building regulation in the UK. But after seeing this I have certainly changed my attitude. At least we can feel safe in out buildings in the UK. I have rarely heard of construction failures like these in China in the UK. The only issue was the flammable external insulation used on the block of flats in London which resulted in over 20 deaths due to the spread of fire. This insulation was not inflammable as it should have been.
I don't know why we have this confusion and anomaly of the English language. for some reason inflammable has got to be understood as 'it will burn' when, in fact it means it will not burn. The term 'Highly inflammable' should be 'Highly Flammable. ! The two letters 'in' at the beginning of some words means 'not' . Such as inhospitable - not being hospitable. Insensitive - not being sensitive. Etc, etc.
The UK is such an insignificant nation in the world stage now. Idk why the UK is still barking so loud in 2023. What exactly is UK completing in the world stage?
Ummm lets see....6th largest world economy, major world financial centre, major arms manufacturer, nuclear armed power with ballistic missile submarines, permanent seat on the UN security council, leading country for technology and scientific research, oh and 2 or the worlds top universities@@Oscar42o
I once asked a Chinese businessman: When's China gonna take over the world? He laughed and said 'People have no idea how close China is to collapsing'.
DICE should put this into consideration when they make the new Battlefield game. They should make every building in a China map collapse after a single shot.
I am from India. Here also some corrupt officials and builders are there. But this video makes my country much much better in terms of infra structure quality. This is insane. New building has holes from top floor to bottom floor?. Whatthe hell? Are there any response from the builders or government?
As much as Japanese homes aren't the greatest in the world (poor insulation, thin walls, etc), I can atleast say that it has survived countless earthquakes and typhoons without any problems. Thats more than can be said for these tofu-dreg projects
I think in the case of Japan's frequent earthquake, it is the necessary evil to built with less quality because you know it probably gonna get ruined anyway. You can be like "oh well" and move on. Imagine seeing tough heavy structure that cost more and suppose to "last forever" fall because on nature, and needing to redo it again and again. People will lose their sanity.
Gotta say, here I was coming to terms with the fact that China was going to rule us all but at this rate they're government is like influencers pretending their live are perfect.
That rebar steel being as brittle as ceramics is so troubling to see! As a mecanical engineer in Europe I can get tired of all the bureaucracy. Seeing stuff like this makes me appriciate our health and safety precausions.
Corrupt officials and no consequences from the legal system probably has more to do with the failures of Chinese construction. No country has more rules than China.
As a fellow European (currently contractor/construction worker) I agree. It's easy to get fed up with the unbelievable amount of bureaucracy here. On the other hand, seeing this, I am glad. By the way it's "precautions" with a "t" from "caution" and the prefix "pre-" (Latin "before"), the adjective being "cautious". Just so you know. Learning English as well, where are you from exactly?

Spit, glue and clay construction. And these poor people spend their hard work and life savings only to lose it all because of shoddy construction and rampant corruption within a government that allows this to happen.
I feel you bro. As a third world as well having grade C Or D contruction was meh even a grade C can hold a 3 mag earthquake. China building is grade F for failure
I imagine that since Chinese engineers are never in a million years going to inhabit the buildings they help construct, they don't care about how they're made. My grandpa's house has survived magnitude 8 earthquakes (Mexico city, 1985) and many subsequent ones (including a magnitude 7 and a magnitude 8 in 2017) with zero damage. He's a civilian engineer and he designed the house. In fact, after 1985, the only buildings that collapsed were the flimsy ones where the construction process was full of corruption, but really nothing close to what is going on in China...

The big problem for China is that pretty much every building built within the last 10-15 years is of this quality. The country will literally crumble to ruin by 2030.
I like the fact that even romans and Egyptians, with far inferior technology than what we have, still has better and longer lasting buildings than china.

Not true. The Great Wall is till standing as well as all the historical buildings.
@ of course I meant modern china, old ones are most of the time reliable. You can literally see here buildings are falling apart with insulation and outer walls being blown by the wind. Old ones truly have better buildings than china.

He says that the SEG Tower set a record of building a floor every 2.7 days. He went on to say that it was hailed as a "landmark". Well it's going to end up as a "mark on the land".
Knowing that it takes concrete a month at minimum to cure enough to be properly load bearing, I'm amazed that it didn't collapse during construction. I've seen some of the videos of them pouring concrete, it's alarmingly soupy. They make it like that on purpose so it fills the forms up quicker, but it takes all the strength out of it
@@nathansmith5464 I'd beg to differ on capitalism. Its about the lowest cost possible for the requirements. Every bridge, road, or large building you've ever been on or in, was built by the lowest bidding company. Roughly noone cares about quality when it costs 3x as much, even if it lasts 10x as long and does a better job.
@@crinkly.love-stick Begging is a hard way to make an uncertain living, just as in this case your begging to differ is a harder way to make your point. Yes, in Capitalism at least on the government side, there is bidding for contracts which is due to the aim of establishing equity. Going against any lean of monopolism. And still the quality of the contract winner's work comes under some form of oversight and strength of resume. Not just family connections as in the Communist system. And sure there are examples in the Capitalist system of nepotism. But in the grand scheme of the Capitalist model. Quality creates quantity [demand]. Case in point. Nike has sold a large quantity of footwear. But when during a Duke v Tar Heels game Zion Williamson's shoes blew out on a nationally televised game with former President Obama in attendance, Nike execs shrieked in horror, while Adidas, Under Armour, and others smiled in glee. It did not eventually hurt Nike, but my point is that in Capitalism corporations must appeal to the consumer's choice of quality. And if that hypothetical low bid contract bridge was to collapse or cause injury as in the case of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, FL there is a Capitalistic remedy that Communism lacks. SOMEONE GETS SUED!

just today I was working with my dad to build a foundation to extend the house ( eastern europe) the solidity of the thing we built is unfathomable. We have a better foundation for our barn than they do for 10 floor buildings. Update, I found some old tools my dad, grandpa and, get ready, great grandpa used. Talk shit about the russians but they did a hell of a job when it comes to making things studry, I asked my dad how old were these tools and he said that his great grandpa got it from his father, we're talking 1800's here, I have a chisel that still does the job better than new ones, that's possibly 100 years old, fridges and stoves that are 50+ years old still working, cuttlery that's older than my mom. Nowadays they don't want to make things last more than 5 years, yes, I said it right, DON'T WANT TO
Only those convinced of the 'narrative' talk shit about the Russians. Otherwise, we know they are people just like us generally wanting the things we want.
That's some good point. Let's admit that after all we all want to take over and dominate other countries. At least the Russians do it openly through military power rather than through the economic and trade system
Back in the day, the Russians/Soviets were determined to make things last FOREVER. (Forever in theory, at least.) Like, the old powertools, Russians made those things to last CENTURIES. It would function very, very rough, but it would last longer than the owner would. At least that's what i've heard about stuff like that.
@@pinetree5489 People mostly talk shit about Russians because of their actions in Ukraine. They have looted, murdered and raped their way across the occupied territories and left nothing but ruins and death in their wake. It's hard to be nice to people who do that.
Actually “the wall” didn’t. In fact the many walls fell down quite quickly. The wall sections you see in tourist photos were all built since the late 1980’s.
To be completely neutral here.... CCP is not the only one at fault. In Chinese we have a term call "The mountain is tall, and the Emperor is far away". Which means that no matter what the Emperor rule as law is useless because China is just too big. You cannot control all officials the way you want. Corruption has always and forever been rampant in China. It's corruption at the very grassroots level that causes all these mess.
The thousands year old wall is rubble, what you see in most videos, the masonry wall, was made by ming empire in late 16th century, even many parts of it is in already ruins.

Everything you mentioned was long time ago, we want the latest one. China’s building is collapsing every day, not 40-50 years ago. In fact the house built that long ago were very strong still functioning well. We are talking about modern buildings in the after 2000 , do you believe I can find more collapsed buildings in China in 5 years than you can find in US for 20 years? And the US buildings which were collapsed usually were very old, but China usually very young buildings. How are you going to explain this?
According to this title, in China, there are many fragile steel bars are used to build many buildings which is called Tofu buildings. When I was avionics tech 35 yrs ago, I would not buy any hand tools made in China. Back then, the best hand tools are made in Japan.
I’m sort of disgusted that any government official would stand to have a building like that constructed. How could you possibly tolerate letting your citizens live or work or build things like that?
It's China. A dictatorship run by oligarchs who only care about becoming richer and more powerful. There are more than a billion people there. It is not necessary to go to China to meet its people, they themselves escape from the country. Even if there is some good in the lower or middle classes, the upper classes are corrupt to the core, they see the population as ants that they can easily crush. The government controls everything, people have no way to resist. The last time they tried it was at Tiananmen, the government met the pacific protesters with soldiers and tanks.

@@Jake-dh9qk However, there definitely are efforts to cover up incidents caused by bad infrastructure in China. On Saturday, 23 July 2011 in the Wenzhou, Zhejiang province there was a high-speed rail crash where directly after the crash, backhoes were seen trying to bury the crashed carriages and disassemble the carriages. Even today the state media censors the anniversary of the collision. Then we have the biggest example of how much the CCP tries to save face utilizing media manipulation by trying to blame the Covid world pandemic on other countries, trying to place the burden off of themselves. So I wouldn't be surprised if, as WaylMaster said, it happens a lot more often, but only the most resilient netizens have broken through the great CCP firewall, the news with them.
They fall so often that they have entire first responder teams on standby in every city for just such an event. It was why the response to the apartment building collapse in Florida earlier this year got their attention: something similar happens in a Western country and it takes days for the authorities to make as much progress as a typical Chinese first-responder team would, so of course they unironically crow about how incompetent the West is while deliberately disregarding that the response was so slow because we literally don't have spontaneous apartment highrise collapses every week.
The sinkholes are usually (or often) the result of lowering the ground water level. All those high-rises have deep basements, which lowers the ground water level. The ground will then sink, or there will form voids, that then becomes sink holes. Lots of Oslo’s 1890s-buildings were built on timber floats, since in parts of Oslo. bedrock was wayy out of reach of rhe machinery they had then. The "vallyes" are filled with marine clay, due to the land being lower during the last ice age. Now, this worked (and works) just fine, as long as the timber is wet, it’s fine (they occasinally unearth water pipes made out of hollowed-out pine logs (from the 1700s or so), that are perfecty preserved. Now, occasionally a new building is constructed, and then often with a deeper basement to make room for parking & such. When they’re done, the groundwater level invariably sinks in that area, the timber in the neighbouring building’s basements get exposed to air, start to rot, and the buildings settle, being built out iof masonry, thei façades crack & so on. As for China, it may also be the result of drilling for ground water, which has the same effect. Anyhow, rebar you can bend with your hand and crack like cast iron, concrete beams that are obviously dirt in the middle with a thin layer of concrete, that’s scary. I wonder, will this ever come out?
Yeesh, and this is the same government that thinks it can safely operate a Nuclear Plant. At this rate they better hire Mr. Burns from The Simpsons as he seems more competent than them.
Chinese people used to take pride in their buildings, many old buildings are still standing after hundreds of years. Then the commies took over and it all went to shit
Actually those are gone now, weathered by time, weather, and lack of maintenance. There is a reason why the Great Wall(s) of China were constantly updated...
More then 20 years ago I bought 2 U-clamps from the local hardware store. They were from China. I set the first one up, turned the screw and it broke in half. As did the second one. I returned both. The owner apologized and replaced them. He was trying out a new supplier.
So far, Chinese tools in hardware stores survive quality robustness except the drill bits It tends to bend then wobble . No issue of poor clamps in Malaysia. In fact some power tools are better than Borsch. Except the cordless batteries have short lives and need to modified and replaced with Japanese rechargeable battery. It depends on the manufacturer. Some good, some are bad.
I call it ' Chinese Cheese- Metal '. Poor quality control is frequently due to CCP- style graft and corruption robbing people of sturdy buildings/ materials.. SEG Tower is a perfect example of an expensive disaster waiting to happen due to inferior quality material..
Construction companies caught using shackles or other rigging made in china for overhead lifting can face fines... In other words, we save more lives and money in the long run by biting the bullet and spending a bit more on longer lasting quality products and avoiding chinese imports. The more "made in china" we buy, the more they drown out the competition and lower quality standards. It almost feels like funding our own enemy... in this case, totalitarianism. All thanks to the illusion of affordability.
I'm really interested in how they even build these things. They're somehow managing to build skyscrapers out of paper and dirt without it falling apart before they sell it. It seems like that might even be more complicated than just building them out of real building materials.
It is not that hard or complicated. It all comes down to two simple things - substandard "steel" (barely above pig iron) and substandard concrete where you use bad sand as a base, so it crumbles like a cookie.
@@LordKhuzdul I think he's saying it's quite a work of civil engineering to use those materials to build a building that will hold together just long enough to be built, and look good enough to be sold, and then fall apart after.
@@bitwize Nah, it's not alot of 'work', It's just..planned obsolescence, while 'using' technology and 'physics' knowledge (which in itself can be 'complicated'), but applying it in a really dumb, low resolution thinking type of way. They basically just recycled actual 'steel' down to such a shitty quality that it barely qualifies as a 'metal' anymore. More like 'metal pretend alloy'. If your entire market, from the tits up, is a huge ponzi scheme (Chinas economy 'is' effectively as much of a joke as the western counterpart is), shit like this can happen.
During those back days, our grandfathers worked hard to make the best with the best pristine material they found in nature (ore). I even discovered a 1930's agriculture machinery abandonned to the rust in the forest for more than 5 decades, i couldn't believe the quality and hardness of the steel, barely rusted and deteriorated.
This video was alarming on so many levels that I barely know where to begin. Substandard steel and concrete, shoddy workmanship and the list just keeps growing. I feel sorry for the ordinary people who have basically lost their money in buying a substandard house in a multistorey development. This is also linked to the Chinese Development debt crisis and I think that we will hear a lot more about all of this in the next few years.
Seems like the US is headed that way, capitalism might be great, but NEEDS to be tempered with some consciousness and integrity, maybe empathy also certainly honesty to se degree.
I work for a steel bridge company and more than half of our projects involve the retrofitting or repairing bridges by Chinese contractors. If a bridge in your country collapsed because of structural failure, it was probably built by a Chinese contractor.
Happened with a bicycle bridge in my country. They couldn't figure out how to abide by the safety rules, they wanted to dig down the entire river dike, in the Netherlands. That would flood half the city. They called the local government racist and left the project. It stood there for 2 years like an eyesore till another national company fixed it in 6 months
In the USA, everybody, including me, complains about the bureaucracy you have to navigate to get plans approved, then have inspections at multiple points in the construction project, etc. Well, here's why.
You obviously don't understand how big government works the CCP is involved in every aspect of construction and every business. At every level somebody skims a little bit of money off the top every single project. The end result is they are forced to complete the jobs with a fraction of the budget because of the criminal activity of their own government. And if they fail to complete the project it's the end of everything for them possibly even prison time. And so you end up with tofu construction. The less governments are involved in anything the better off we all will be.
@@steveennever9905 their bureaucracy is why they dont have true high speed rail yet, but id take that over multiple infrastructure projects being like this. damn airline and oil companies
No those metal bars that you saw early, were cooled down too rapidly. They were simply careless for the quality, and all the cared about was production speed. By cooling it down too quickly you give weaken the steel to the same level as glass.

Wow, I'm a hobby fabricator and work with rebar quite a bit. I can tell you that all the rebar I have worked with is extremely strong steel, not easy to work with. Incredibly tough stuff. Not a mild steel alloy. The stuff the guys was bending and breaking was obviously just paper mache.

@@apigfarmer116 The Sichuan 8.0 earthquake in 2008 in China killed over 65,000 in a single event many of the deaths were caused by poor building construction. Name an event in America that came anywhere close to that death toll.
@@apigfarmer116 Your statistics are also out dated, building codes especially in California were heavily upgraded in the 90s and 2000s. Also the buildings you cited, I have no idea how old they were.

Xi Jinping was eating soup in a Tofu-dreg restaurant and said to the chef, "This soup tasts sweet and rich. What is it?" The chef replied, "it is Communism in China soup and it is seasoned with the tears and suffering of the people under your rule." Xi then demanded an other large serving for himself and ordered all those serving beneath him to make sure that it was sweet and rich. The chef turned to his apprentice and said, "Prepare the Communism in Taiwan soup!" The grovelling and malnourished apprentice then turned back to the kitchen to grab his cheaply made knife.
At a construction site in Sweden they bought Chinese steel included prewelded parts.... The price for the steel was much cheaper than buying in Europe so they thought hey this is nice let's save money. Parts arrive, every weld had to be redone on every steel part because it wasn't up to standard. Took about 1000 hours to fix.
Don't even get me started on our Indian projects. Sh*t Chinese company was hired here by a bad politician who was looking for cheap sh*t who can build a bridge. Happened in 2020. Central govt gave the minister a ton of money for this project. He pocketed more than half and paid for this sh*t a** Chinese company to construct the bridge. The bridge collapsed within a few months. Ppl also got k-worded. India then banned any Chinese company from doing projects in India.
Sweden buildings are no better than the Chinese. - Sundsvall Bridge in Sweden Collapsed on 4 August - The five-storey building in Los Cristianos on the Spanish island collapsed close to a Swedish school and a Swedish church on Thursday morning. - Bridge in Ludvika in central Sweden collapsed *** There are hundreds more structural failures in Sweden! I only sited three here. Would you like me to tell you about them?
@@apigfarmer116 ofcourse there are collapses in each country. We only hear of the ones with alot of casulties, The bridge in sundsvall had a part of it fall of, not the collapse of the entire bridge which your text implies. The bridge in Ludvika did however have I believe 13? casulties. Somewhere there about, and if I remember correctly it was caused by scaffolding that wasn't dimensioned properly.
@Daniel , I did that with some new made in China car ramps I bought from an auto parts. Every piece was just tack welded when I remember the set we used when we were teens while working underneath cars had long full welds everywhere. So I got out my MiG welder and re-enforced every joint to make sure it can hold my RV. I also added a few more vertical support struts.
Being an engineer, the worst is yet to come. I have clearly seen concrete mixed with desert sand (a big no -no) it does not bind due to it being polished by wind. Only ocean sand is sufficient and since China had stolen all the good sand world wide, they resorted to desert sand when the shortage hit. The rebar is probably the most disturbing part. It is brittle and serves no purpose apart from absolute compression forces, no lateral protection. If I lived in China, i would avoid anything above ground floor and keep a hard hat on when in cities.
I agree but personally, I'd choose to not even go anywhere near tall buildings. Knowing those buildings have a huge potential to collapse its best to stay away from it because its too risky.
And this is what happen if you priorities bragging over actual development. From the looks of it many of their buildings will collapse by 2030. One can only wonder what will happen if they get hit by earthquakes like japan or cyclones like india.
@@Akira-dc7is Loss of life and property is unfortunate but the building collapses r also due to natural causes like earthquakes or bad weather events such as typhoons or floods besides poor construction.
you have no life experience. I can tell that. You know nothing about supply chains, scammers and workers. I get scammed every day for a dollar. Not for millions. It is normal that you order and is delivered different quality or even a truck driver can du the change. When the Chinese government tries to punish those scammers, they complain about human rights and why they get a bullet. Make your mind up and look around.
At 1:47, the external skin of the building fell off. In another video, there were dried patches of cement in a circular shape. In other words, the external finishes were "fixed" to the concrete behind in the same way as if tiles were "glued" to the wall in the bathroom. From my experience as an architectural technician, in the UK, even bricks as external finish were fixed to the concrete structure by some sort of fixing, not just cement glue or rather they should not have done it the same way as in the bathroom. There was no break. It was a continuous "skin" from top to bottom, the weight of the finishes plus the stress from the wind together were far greater than the adhesive force from the cement glue (and they deteriorated by weathering over time). That was the reason why the whole external finish fell off as if it was a sheet of paper.
Kinda seems like the problem is that these companies are selling the houses before they are built. If the money’s already in your pocket, why bother making anything good? In fact the only thing you would bother about, is making it as cheap as possible.
@@Bob-of-Zoid But it highly depends on the type of building. When you buy your own single family house here in germany you just pay a small amount and when the thing is build to a certain point and everything is ok you pay the next share. But still there are alot of idiots who cant read contracts or just buy everything upfront and look like idiots when the company goes into "bankruptcy" and they start another company right away.
This makes me not want to visit China, which is sad cause it has tons of rich history and would be stellar to visit. I'd just be too afraid of my building collapsing or walking outside and being struck by falling debris.

this is why canada had to legaly mandate that steel from china is prohibited in the contruction of buildings, or utilities. We replaced all of our cell towers that had this steel.
And this is why Canada is wonderful at putting safety 1st. (I don't live in Canada, it's just everything I've heard about it is great).
This is why so many in rural areas didn't want to move to the city. The architecture of older towns are over hundreds of years old and still standing.

In China, it seems to imply that builders of the past ages have more integrity than so called modern developers.

I have on occasion cursed our building regulation in the UK. But after seeing this I have certainly changed my attitude. At least we can feel safe in out buildings in the UK. I have rarely heard of construction failures like these in China in the UK. The only issue was the flammable external insulation used on the block of flats in London which resulted in over 20 deaths due to the spread of fire. This insulation was not inflammable as it should have been.
actually it was inflammable, that was the problem (inflammable means the same as flammable)
I don't know why we have this confusion and anomaly of the English language. for some reason inflammable has got to be understood as 'it will burn' when, in fact it means it will not burn. The term 'Highly inflammable' should be 'Highly Flammable. ! The two letters 'in' at the beginning of some words means 'not' . Such as inhospitable - not being hospitable. Insensitive - not being sensitive. Etc, etc.

It may also set the record for fastest complete collapse, at 1.8 seconds!
Knowing that it takes concrete a month at minimum to cure enough to be properly load bearing, I'm amazed that it didn't collapse during construction. I've seen some of the videos of them pouring concrete, it's alarmingly soupy. They make it like that on purpose so it fills the forms up quicker, but it takes all the strength out of it

Capitalism is about quality over quantity.
Communism is about quantity, quality be damned!
@@nathansmith5464 I'd beg to differ on capitalism. Its about the lowest cost possible for the requirements.
Every bridge, road, or large building you've ever been on or in, was built by the lowest bidding company. Roughly noone cares about quality when it costs 3x as much, even if it lasts 10x as long and does a better job.
@@crinkly.love-stick
Begging is a hard way to make an uncertain living, just as in this case your begging to differ is a harder way to make your point.
Yes, in Capitalism at least on the government side, there is bidding for contracts which is due to the aim of establishing equity. Going against any lean of monopolism.
And still the quality of the contract winner's work comes under some form of oversight and strength of resume. Not just family connections as in the Communist system.
And sure there are examples in the Capitalist system of nepotism. But in the grand scheme of the Capitalist model. Quality creates quantity [demand].
Case in point. Nike has sold a large quantity of footwear. But when during a Duke v Tar Heels game Zion Williamson's shoes blew out on a nationally televised game with former President Obama in attendance, Nike execs shrieked in horror, while Adidas, Under Armour, and others smiled in glee.
It did not eventually hurt Nike, but my point is that in Capitalism corporations must appeal to the consumer's choice of quality.
And if that hypothetical low bid contract bridge was to collapse or cause injury as in the case of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, FL there is a Capitalistic remedy that Communism lacks.

just today I was working with my dad to build a foundation to extend the house ( eastern europe) the solidity of the thing we built is unfathomable. We have a better foundation for our barn than they do for 10 floor buildings. Update, I found some old tools my dad, grandpa and, get ready, great grandpa used. Talk shit about the russians but they did a hell of a job when it comes to making things studry, I asked my dad how old were these tools and he said that his great grandpa got it from his father, we're talking 1800's here, I have a chisel that still does the job better than new ones, that's possibly 100 years old, fridges and stoves that are 50+ years old still working, cuttlery that's older than my mom. Nowadays they don't want to make things last more than 5 years, yes, I said it right, DON'T WANT TO
Only those convinced of the 'narrative' talk shit about the Russians. Otherwise, we know they are people just like us generally wanting the things we want.
That's some good point. Let's admit that after all we all want to take over and dominate other countries. At least the Russians do it openly through military power rather than through the economic and trade system
How to maximise profits? Like you said in your comments, make sure things are made to fail.
Back in the day, the Russians/Soviets were determined to make things last FOREVER. (Forever in theory, at least.) Like, the old powertools, Russians made those things to last CENTURIES.

The Great Wall of China lasted a thousand years, then came the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and things started going very wrong in China. 😢🇨🇳

CCP is not the only one at fault. In Chinese we have a term call "The mountain is tall, and the Emperor is far away". Which means that no matter what the Emperor rule as law is useless because China is just too big. You cannot control all officials the way you want.

@@Jake-dh9qk However, there definitely are efforts to cover up incidents caused by bad infrastructure in China. On Saturday, 23 July 2011 in the Wenzhou, Zhejiang province there was a high-speed rail crash where directly after the crash, backhoes were seen trying to bury the crashed carriages and disassemble the carriages. Even today the state media censors the anniversary of the collision. Then we have the biggest example of how much the CCP tries to save face utilizing media manipulation by trying to blame the Covid world pandemic on other countries, trying to place the burden off of themselves. So I wouldn't be surprised if, as WaylMaster said, it happens a lot more often, but only the most resilient netizens have broken through the great CCP firewall, the news with them.
They fall so often that they have entire first responder teams on standby in every city for just such an event. It was why the response to the apartment building collapse in Florida earlier this year got their attention: something similar happens in a Western country and it takes days for the authorities to make as much progress as a typical Chinese first-responder team would, so of course they unironically crow about how incompetent the West is while deliberately disregarding that the response was so slow because we literally don't have spontaneous apartment highrise collapses every week.
Those colorful glittering hi rise cities - all made out of tofu!
The sinkholes are usually (or often) the result of lowering the ground water level. All those high-rises have deep basements, which lowers the ground water level. The ground will then sink, or there will form voids, that then becomes sink holes. Lots of Oslo’s 1890s-buildings were built on timber floats, since in parts of Oslo. bedrock was wayy out of reach of rhe machinery they had then. The "vallyes" are filled with marine clay, due to the land being lower during the last ice age. Now, this worked (and works) just fine, as long as the timber is wet, it’s fine (they occasinally unearth water pipes made out of hollowed-out pine logs (from the 1700s or so), that are perfecty preserved. Now, occasionally a new building is constructed, and then often with a deeper basement to make room for parking & such. When they’re done, the groundwater level invariably sinks in that area, the timber in the neighbouring building’s basements get exposed to air, start to rot, and the buildings settle, being built out iof masonry, thei façades crack & so on.
As for China, it may also be the result of drilling for ground water, which has the same effect.
Anyhow, rebar you can bend with your hand and crack like cast iron, concrete beams that are obviously dirt in the middle with a thin layer of concrete, that’s scary. I wonder, will this ever come out?

So far, Chinese tools in hardware stores survive quality robustness except the drill bits It tends to bend then wobble . No issue of poor clamps in Malaysia.

It is not that hard or complicated. It all comes down to two simple things - substandard "steel" (barely above pig iron) and substandard concrete where you use bad sand as a base, so it crumbles like a cookie.
@@LordKhuzdul I think he's saying it's quite a work of civil engineering to use those materials to build a building that will hold together just long enough to be built, and look good enough to be sold, and then fall apart after.

If your entire market, from the tits up, is a huge ponzi scheme (Chinas economy 'is' effectively as much of a joke as the western counterpart is), shit like this can happen.
During those back days, our grandfathers worked hard to make the best with the best pristine material they found in nature (ore). I even discovered a 1930's agriculture machinery abandonned to the rust in the forest for more than 5 decades, i couldn't believe the quality and hardness of the steel, barely rusted and deteriorated.
This video was alarming on so many levels that I barely know where to begin. Substandard steel and concrete, shoddy workmanship and the list just keeps growing.
I feel sorry for the ordinary people who have basically lost their money in buying a substandard house in a multistorey development.

Now I'm glad I live in a country where the inspectors actually do their job and buildings are sturdy and earthquake reinforced.
Well, even in California there are idiots. Go see San Francisco’s glistening, blue glass covered “Leaning Tower”. The supports were allowed not to go down to bedrock.
@@apigfarmer116 The Sichuan 8.0 earthquake in 2008 in China killed over 65,000 in a single event many of the deaths were caused by poor building construction. Name an event in America that came anywhere close to that death toll.
@@apigfarmer116 Your statistics are also out dated, building codes especially in California were heavily upgraded in the 90s and 2000s. Also the buildings you cited, I have no idea how old they were. They could have been built 10 or 20 years before the dates you cited. Why don't you have any examples from even this century? You don't even have any that aren't 40 to 50 years ago.
Xi Jinping was eating soup in a Tofu-dreg restaurant and said to the chef, "This soup tasts sweet and rich. What is it?" The chef replied, "it is Communism in China soup and it is seasoned with the tears and suffering of the people under your rule." Xi then demanded an other large serving for himself and ordered all those serving beneath him to make sure that it was sweet and rich. The chef turned to his apprentice and said, "Prepare the Communism in Taiwan soup!" The grovelling and malnourished apprentice then turned back to the kitchen to grab his cheaply made knife.
@@apigfarmer116 Found the pitiful Chinaman
Whenever some dude brags about how China builds so fast compared to other countries I will just show them this
Safety first
Fast =/= everlasting lol
woah, matsuri hime is here.
Not all buildings in China are tofu dregs tho
@@snoot6629 its true. However, tofu dreg buildings remain a a concern.
When made in China is more made in China in China.
How can these building even stand with most of the "concrete" being sand and dirt instead of cement?
Good paint, seems to hold buildings together.
@@Skay24 super glue maybe?? Lol
A lot of rice , lol!
They dont all it takes if one rain storm and earthquake
They just need to stand long enough for the check to clear.
At a construction site in Sweden they bought Chinese steel included prewelded parts.... The price for the steel was much cheaper than buying in Europe so they thought hey this is nice let's save money. Parts arrive, every weld had to be redone on every steel part because it wasn't up to standard. Took about 1000 hours to fix.
Don't even get me started on our Indian projects. Sh*t Chinese company was hired here by a bad politician who was looking for cheap sh*t who can build a bridge. Happened in 2020. Central govt gave the minister a ton of money for this project. He pocketed more than half and paid for this sh*t a** Chinese company to construct the bridge. The bridge collapsed within a few months. Ppl also got k-worded. India then banned any Chinese company from doing projects in India.
Chinese steel are joke. Don't trust their products especially safety.
Sweden buildings are no better than the Chinese.
- Sundsvall Bridge in Sweden Collapsed on 4 August
- The five-storey building in Los Cristianos on the Spanish island collapsed close to a Swedish school and a Swedish church on Thursday morning.
- Bridge in Ludvika in central Sweden collapsed
*** There are hundreds more structural failures in Sweden! I only sited three here. Would you like me to tell you about them?
@@apigfarmer116 ofcourse there are collapses in each country. We only hear of the ones with alot of casulties, The bridge in sundsvall had a part of it fall of, not the collapse of the entire bridge which your text implies. The bridge in Ludvika did however have I believe 13? casulties. Somewhere there about, and if I remember correctly it was caused by scaffolding that wasn't dimensioned properly.
@Daniel , I did that with some new made in China car ramps I bought from an auto parts. Every piece was just tack welded when I remember the set we used when we were teens while working underneath cars had long full welds everywhere. So I got out my MiG welder and re-enforced every joint to make sure it can hold my RV. I also added a few more vertical support struts.
I guess this is the pride of China: Shenzhen speed with Shenzhen quality.
And why do they still dig out bodies in Miami?
@@paulpaulsen7777 here is your 50 cents
@@paulpaulsen7777 Why do chinese buildings keep collapsing?
@@paulpaulsen7777 are u saying the rate of collapsed buildings is the same with the chinese rate?
@@paulpaulsen7777 Here's another 50 cent to you, maybe you can save up enough to buy an apartment in one of these buildings
If these happen tier one cities one can only speculate on how bad things are for the lower cities.l
Being an engineer, the worst is yet to come. I have clearly seen concrete mixed with desert sand (a big no -no) it does not bind due to it being polished by wind. Only ocean sand is sufficient and since China had stolen all the good sand world wide, they resorted to desert sand when the shortage hit. The rebar is probably the most disturbing part. It is brittle and serves no purpose apart from absolute compression forces, no lateral protection. If I lived in China, i would avoid anything above ground floor and keep a hard hat on when in cities.
How does the Middle East build its infrastructure since they are surrounded by sand?
I agree but personally, I'd choose to not even go anywhere near tall buildings. Knowing those buildings have a huge potential to collapse its best to stay away from it because its too risky.
Everybody's gonna be thinking your some sort of an engineer lol
@@wiss256 they ARE an engineer 😂
@@randyybanez793 awpp lol
And this is what happen if you priorities bragging over actual development. From the looks of it many of their buildings will collapse by 2030. One can only wonder what will happen if they get hit by earthquakes like japan or cyclones like india.
HA by 2030? with the weather they've been getting and this shotty work they'll be lucky to see 2023 without falling over
Putting way too much faith in them my friend.
If some buildings collapse the chinese will build new buildings and so no problem there !
@@surendramumgai631 yeah. Because people possibly dying and loss of property is not to worry about at all right?🤣🤣🤣
@@Akira-dc7is Loss of life and property is unfortunate but the building collapses r also due to natural causes like earthquakes or bad weather events such as typhoons or floods besides poor construction.
This video gives new meaning to "made in China". Unbelievable how safety for life is ignored.
Well, there are what, 1.4 billion people there? Maybe that's why they don't care?
@@AntoshaPushkinthere's evidence to believe that that's actually a false number made up by the ccp
For me it is just the old meaning: Cheap dangerous crap that breaks easily and fast.
It just has to stay up long enuf for the check to clear
you have no life experience.
I can tell that.
You know nothing about supply chains, scammers and workers.
I get scammed every day for a dollar. Not for millions.
It is normal that you order and is delivered different quality or even a truck driver can du the change.
When the Chinese government tries to punish those scammers, they complain about human rights and why they get a bullet.
Make your mind up and look around.
At 1:47, the external skin of the building fell off. In another video, there were dried patches of cement in a circular shape. In other words, the external finishes were "fixed" to the concrete behind in the same way as if tiles were "glued" to the wall in the bathroom. From my experience as an architectural technician, in the UK, even bricks as external finish were fixed to the concrete structure by some sort of fixing, not just cement glue or rather they should not have done it the same way as in the bathroom. There was no break. It was a continuous "skin" from top to bottom, the weight of the finishes plus the stress from the wind together were far greater than the adhesive force from the cement glue (and they deteriorated by weathering over time). That was the reason why the whole external finish fell off as if it was a sheet of paper.
CCP metal and bricks are such good quality, they float to the ground when dropped. LOL !!!!!!
Or actually float in water
There's something very satisfying about watching Pooh Bear's empire crumble.
Xi is killing his own people. He's just the same as his heros, mao and stalin.
the people is the one suffering but the politicians is making more money
I’d love to agree with you, but it’s crumbling because of the suffering of innocents
i feel bad for the people tho...
China need another revolution
Kinda seems like the problem is that these companies are selling the houses before they are built. If the money’s already in your pocket, why bother making anything good? In fact the only thing you would bother about, is making it as cheap as possible.
It still blows my mind that anyone buys houses that arent even built yet.
There is no quality control in China. Bribing government officials to rubber-stamp something is practically a given.
They do that all over the world, I mean the buying before built thing, not the building them out of tofu, chewed up cardboard, and spit part. (
@@Bob-of-Zoid But it highly depends on the type of building. When you buy your own single family house here in germany you just pay a small amount and when the thing is build to a certain point and everything is ok you pay the next share. But still there are alot of idiots who cant read contracts or just buy everything upfront and look like idiots when the company goes into "bankruptcy" and they start another company right away.
This makes me not want to visit China, which is sad cause it has tons of rich history and would be stellar to visit. I'd just be too afraid of my building collapsing or walking outside and being struck by falling debris.
To say nothing of the fake food and the gutter oil they cook it in.
Go to Taiwan instead.
You should not want to go to China because of the CCP
Taiwan? What is that?

I couldn’t imagine living in a country like this, it must be hell on earth.
It’s simple, real estate owners will always choose the cheapest contractors and quantity for profit.
@@mikeoxmall4343 Do they build like this where you live?

@@mikeoxmall4343 But I'm pretty sure they aren't on the verge of collapsing at the very least they are structurally sound and not made of literal sand
