The chinks have massive, empty cities of buildings that are built with the worst possible materials. Check out serpentza's videos on YT, where he explains how the chinks are propping up their economy using these shitty, fake buildings.

Serpentz is a Jew.

How so? He's a based South African who stops short by only the tiniest fraction of a hair at admitting that he moved from SA because living with niggers is below the standards that any human should be expected to live in, but he hints at it.

They build 10 times what we do. If they used good materials and processes they'd only best us by about 5x.

Technically, i would say it didn't collapse, it fell over.

Mighty breeze!

Meh, flip it back upright and secure the bottom with some tent stakes. That oughta hold 'er.

Might need to stick a couple matchbooks under one side

American pre-engineered metal building manufacturers are notorious for not sharing their CAD files because they worry the Chinese will steal their designs. This is the result.

Chinese construction is worse than you might know.

Imagine the 100+ countries that fell for the Chinese "Belt and Road" Debt Trap scheme and have the Chinese in their countries building things like hydro-electric dams, bridges, etc.

The Chinese don't do Western style maintenance on most anything they build either. What even would be the point in putting more money into structures like this anyway? It's better if they make sure it's full of retirees they don't want anymore, let it fall over and get a contract for a new building.

Over the past few years some West Indian countries have declared independence from the UK and now have yoked themselves to China to build infrastructure.

The collapse of Sri Lanka is also because they couldn't repay their chink loans.

Going to be fun when China invades all these places.

[ - ] allahead 2 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 19:40:02 ago (+2/-0)

They might invade but generally the "new" type of colonialism doesn't use large invasion forces. The CIA pioneered the way with using native puppets that deflect anger from the real controlling power and can be replaced by other psychopathic oligarchies if they don't play the right way.

And we put that rebar in our construction.

Their quality control is just shit. The japs are way better. Europeans, at least germanics, built stuff to last. Chinks don’t and beaners don’t .

No, we don't. A metal as brittle as the rebar shown would be impossible to bend cold yet that's something we see done not too infrequently.

Ignore wimminz

They have no knowledge of actual work performed by men

Oh you’re in construction? Or maybe your a civil engineer?

[ - ] diggernicks 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 6, 2022 22:10:27 ago (+0/-0)

I work in the dead nigger storage industry

For an avid e stalker your memory sucks

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 21:40:24 ago (+0/-0)

You mean bending rebar is done not infrequently?

I wonder if there aren’t some construction companies that are willing to take shitty rebar off the hands of a distributor that got fucked by the chinks for a bargain because they think they can get away with it for certain buildings.

Women don’t type like this, you’re a man LARPing.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 21:59:40 ago (+0/-0)

Because I know how rebar is used? I think you don’t know very many women.

[ - ] Trumpman1488 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 22:43:00 ago (+0/-0)

Woman are too stupid to know about those things.

Dumb enough to build a sky scraper out of sand. Dumb enough to poke at it with a stick while you are 40 stories up.

You biggots just don’t understand Chinese culture. Animism, the belief that some objects have a spiritual component is important in China. Therefore they specifically construct their buildings to be able to occasionally lay down and take naps

Lol

Need a few Simpson hold downs.

[ - ] Wahaha 3 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 15:40:24 ago (+3/-0)

No, they build it this way and then heave it up.

[ - ] lord_nougat 2 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 13:59:46 ago (+2/-0)

It's still [mostly] intact.

Morelike it capsised!

[ - ] allahead 3 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 15:43:46 ago (+3/-0)

Probably put too many people on one side of the building.

[ - ] Systemisgay [op] 2 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 14:00:26 ago (+2/-0)

It collapsed sideways 🤣

Kudos to the window manufacturer

[ - ] Broc_Liath 1 point 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 14:20:14 ago (+1/-0)

Looks like no one was in it. Surrounding buildings look derelict too.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 16:32:24 ago (+1/-0)

When was this? I can’t find this news story.

Thank you.

What's the lease say? Anything about horizontal living?

[ - ] Master_Foo 1 point 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 17:07:14 ago (+1/-0)

It looks like they can just move back into the building. It's just not a 13 story building any more. If you lived on the top floor, now it's on the 2nd floor.

[ - ] x0x7 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 23:29:24 ago (+0/-0)

I really want to get a look inside it. You get an awesome sun roof if you are on the second floor.

[ - ] totes_magotes 1 point 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 17:47:52 ago (+1/-0)

I'm no expert but that doesn't look very collapsed, OP. It looks more like it's fell asleep standing up.

Made in china

[ - ] Trumpman1488 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 5, 2022 21:41:19 ago (+0/-0)

They don’t build ‘em like they used to.

[ - ] spasswerk 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 6, 2022 00:23:27 ago (+0/-0)

Picture shows the top of the building BTW. There is a series of pics of this floating around the net perhaps 15 years ago.

[ - ] i_scream_trucks 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 6, 2022 07:31:26 ago (+0/-0)

is 'fell over' the same thing as 'collapse'?
