There used to be a YouTube channel of two guys who would tour China on motorbikes and post travelogues. They would show Chinese buildings only a few years old where the concrete was crumbling. Buildings aren’t square and things don’t line up. Towns 20 years old look like they’ve been in a war. The CCP covers up reporting of the bridges and buildings that collapse, killing thousands each year.

I’ve noticed lately there have been a lot of travel videos, etc, even Bald And Bankrupt, who have been going around praising China.

The floods everywhere including the US are due to the undersea volcano eruption near Tonga that blasted an unimaginable amount of water into the stratosphere.

What goes up must come down.

The Communist motto: Never let a dead body go to waste. There is no such thing as manmade climate change. It is a fraud invented by Gore and Enron.

“Add in a dam failure and the impact can be severe.”

I read that the majority of dams in China are formed by explosives piling up embankments.

I thought that the problem was with the tofu dreg, i.e.porous and crumbling, quality of Chinese concrete. China has become a Potemkin civilization. It looks good, but it is all for show.

“ Experts” on climate change …snort

Who? Greta. We need to ask her if it was caused by Climate Change, President Trump or both! Also, we need to ask Crockett, AOC, Hank Johnson and Al Gore, too.

** exposed deep flaws in infrastructure.” **

substandard cement and other materials. Just like the junk items we buy from them.

Gotta get The Message into every story. It sure would have been nice for one of those "experts" to say something like, "Hey, Chang, that's some really crappy concrete you're pouring right there." And we wouldn't be having this conversation.

For modern Chinese, if it is possible to steal and cheat, why not? In a society built on the dogmatic materialism of communism, such calculations are about the risk of being caught and punished. This has led to faults in much of their infrastructure, and even in prized military assets and equipment.

“It’s gonna be hell getting a warranty’’. No doubt. Well,

if the dam does go to sort of paraphrase the humor of “Blazing Saddles’’: “Just send in a couple of thousand Chinks!’’
