The biggest stories of the age...but everyone missed them? How’s that possible?
Tofu dregs projects are now collapsing throughout China. From fine homes to skyscrapers, bridges, and malls, many, many thousands of these structures are so shoddy that they fall apart soon after they are constructed. Imagine that plastic rods are substituted for rebar. Plaster and sand are substituted for concrete.
Five years ago, China was counted as the next superpower. Now it’s engaged in massive self-destruction. Here they are in 2025, real estate and financing have collapsed; even menial jobs are hard to find. The country is broke because the people in charge allow their CCP comrades to make money by not enforcing building codes....
If the project is an airport, subway, or skyscraper, every aspect of the project is built with unacceptable flaws. The buildings look great, but in a few years, they’ll very likely become uninhabitable.
Many people were swept along by the national motto if you have a bank account, you should buy a home. These people believed they acted prudently; now they are suffering more misery than most Americans can even imagine. You wake up one morning and see a crack in your bedroom wall. Your building is settling. You probably can’t save it, but you still have to pay your mortgage.

So much for China bragging up their country. Sounds like they could easily ruin a free lunch.

The Iran economy is collapsing.
Then, the China economy is collapsing.
Two things I wish for every day.
But, too good to be true, I think.
Did not China sell sheetrock of very poor quality to the housing industry in the USA some years back.
The Sheetrock had formaldehyde in it. So it poisoned people.
They also sent out poisoned dog food. The melamine plastic in it fooled the protein tests.
On the other side we get stories about how China is leading the world in car production, automation, and increasing military force.
This article and those cannot both be true... or can they?
If the CCP wants a nation of slaves to produce for the rest of the world, can it work?
What was that again about the superiority of Chinese culture?
