Wobblies and commies, oh my!

Chinese make junk. Wife bought a wedding card last week for my nephew, card would not fit envelope. You guessed it, “Made in China”. Told my wife NEVER buy anything from China again.

Last year cleared out my tool box of “Made in China” crap. USA or Taiwanese tools in a pinch.

Can’t build skyscrapers but can put a craft on Mars. Go figure. /s

Exercise class for obese women on a high floor in a corner room.

Don’t know but that’s a good guess.

If it fell down the Chicoms wouldn’t give a yap. People are cattle to the Chicoms, especially their own.

Maybe it’s a Weeble.

Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down.

“Building collapses are not rare in China, where lax building standards and breakneck urbanisation lead to constructions being thrown up in haste. “

They have the very same issues with their weapons systems.

Don’t go to sea in a Chinese submarine.

We got one of those little bags you put gifts in instead of wrapping them.
It was a birthday bag.
It clearly said “Happy Bithday”
really wish i had kept it.

Because they stole the space technology, otherwise it would have crashed right off the pad like a lot of their other rockets.

I hope everyone gets out and they clear the area.
And I hope it falls.

Well, with the advance notice, hopefully a lot of cameras now on that building to watch the great example of Chinese construction. On related topic, whatever did they due with the leaning skyscraper in Shanghai?
