Bridges collapse, roads sink, and million-dollar mansions crumble with a single touch—sheer disaster
China's Tofu Dreg construction projects are terrifying to talk about,
yet people feel helpless. This has already become an undeniable fact across buildings,
roads and bridges. This is what a man from Guangdong witnessed. The pillars of an apartment
building had cracked and deformed. In response, a netizen summed it up.
Seventy years of property rights, 30 years of mortgage, 20 years of lifespan?
The Communist Party specializes in building Tofu Dreg houses,
forcing you to work hard for your mortgage forever. This single sentence reveals the
reason why such poorly built houses are so prevalent in China today. Here is a
shocking scene of a building collapsing and its walls peeling off. Man. Oh my god.
Man. Ah. Building 14. The wall is falling apart. This image shows the exterior walls of a
residential building in China peeling off. A user on Platform X questioned,
is the wind too strong, or is it just Tofu Dreg construction?
On February 10, 2025, in Shanghai, Ms. Chen was sweeping the floor in her third floor home
when she suddenly stepped through the floor and fell into her neighbor's apartment on the second
floor. Ms. Xia, the second floor resident, recalled, I was sitting here and my husband
was cooking in the kitchen. Suddenly there was a loud crash behind us. Someone was sitting in
our home. I asked my husband, why is there a person here? He said, she fell from upstairs.
Ms. Chen's kitchen floor had a large hole. Still shaken, she said, maybe it was termites.
They must have eaten through the floor. It's a serious matter. I'm a grown adult,
and I just fell straight through. For many Chinese people,
buying a home is one of the most important events in life. As housing prices continue to rise,
many have no choice but to take on massive mortgages. But as Tofu Dreg buildings become
more common, many are feeling deeply disheartened. Look, it really cracked. From this side,
you can see the load-bearing wall has split through. This building seems a bit dangerous.
See here, it's cracked all the way down, and there is this ceiling that can fall down any time.
Oh my god, unbelievable. What kind of quality is this? Spending millions of yuan only to end up
with a house of this quality. Man, look at what the developers have built. You spend millions
on a house, and it turns out to be a Tofu Dreg construction. Look, I can scrape it off with my
hand. Hear that sound? Did you hear it? Tell me, should we report this? Everyone, should we report
this? It would be surprising if this house didn't collapse, given how it's built. This homeowner is
equally frustrated. The video subtitle reads, Can someone tell me why the house I bought for
over 2 million yuan is made of foam? Man, oh my god. A netizen commented, This house is terrifying.
Another pointed out, The outer wall is foam insulation and inside is concrete. If the
concrete crumbles at the slightest touch, then it's definitely a Tofu Dreg construction. For
those who have spent nearly all their savings on these poorly built homes, they have no choice
but to speak out. On November 20th, 2024, homeowners protesting against the substandard
Gelan Chunan housing development in Chongqing went to the sales office to demand their rights
and record evidence, only to be directly threatened by the police. Police officer,
we can deal with you. We can detain you. I'm telling you clearly. Man, I'm lawfully defending
my rights. I'm not breaking the law. Police officer, I'm recording this. Man, I just want
to defend my rights properly. Police officer, what are you defending your rights for? Man,
I'm just an ordinary person. Police officer, turn off your phone. I'm recording here. Man,
I haven't broken the law. Police officer, how have you not? Posting those pictures,
don't you think that's illegal? Even in public places like hospitals, there is no escape from
tofu dreg construction. On December 5th, 2024, at around 3 p.m., the newly opened hospital in
Chaozhou, Guangdong province, had just moved into its new facility when the ceiling suddenly
collapsed, injuring multiple people. This is the scene after the ceiling fell to the ground.
A netizen commented, this might just be the tip of the iceberg. Even schools are not spared from
tofu dreg construction issues. At Fujian Normal University's Qishan campus, students were
in class when the ceiling suddenly collapsed, with some students being injured by falling
chunks of concrete. Tofu dreg construction can lead to tragedies in the most unexpected moments.
This video captures a ridiculous scene involving a bathroom showerhead. The video's humorous
caption reads, at first glance, it looked like some kind of high-tech automatic shower, but then,
what a shock. A netizen commented, I was just about to praise the high-tech innovation, but then...
In a certain region of southern China, a large pothole appeared on a bridge.
On August 8th, 2024, the Longting Bridge in Sansui County, Qiandongnan, Guizhou province,
suddenly collapsed. What was shocking was that there wasn't a single steel reinforcement bar
inside. Woman, oh my god, oh wow, this is terrifying. In February 2025, a newly completed
bridge in Hubei province suffered a foundation collapse shortly after construction. Under public
pressure, the Jiangling County Water Resources and Lakes Bureau in Jingzhou quickly issued a
statement. In response to netizens' concerns regarding the tilting of a newly built bridge
in Jiangling County, preliminary investigations confirmed that the bridge was an agricultural
use bridge under construction, with a total investment of 1.65 million yuan. It began
trial operation on February 10th, and on February 11th, the construction team detected some settlement
on both sides of the bridge abutments, leading to partial tilting of the bridge deck. From this,
we can see that this bridge, costing 1.65 million yuan, tilted after just one day of use,
a textbook example of tofu-dreg construction. There are likely serious corruption issues
hidden within. In China, even the heavy bridge piers that are supposed to support these structures
have shocking secrets behind them. When the construction team was demolishing the old bridge
pier, they discovered that what appeared to be solid steel-reinforced concrete was actually hollow
inside, with mud and sand flowing out. I always thought these bridge piers were solid. So,
which is sturdier, hollow or solid construction? Man. When the construction team was demolishing
an abandoned bridge, they discovered that the bridge piers, which were supposed to support
the structure, were not filled with concrete but entirely with yellow sand. People have seen all
kinds of bridge collapses and fractures, but this kind of floating bridge is beyond imagination.
Man. When there was water under the bridge, I always wondered how the piers managed to stay
stable. Turns out, they don't need to stand at all. They just float in the air. Who came up with
this genius idea? What kind of engineering principle is this? Many believe that bridge
collapses are directly related to poor construction quality. Bridges collapse every other day.
This has happened so many times, there are way too many tofu-dreg bridges.
Others mocked the situation. There are plenty of ancient bridges that have lasted for centuries
without collapsing. They only get demolished. But modern bridges? They're made of paper.
So, what does the Chinese government do when roads start crumbling due to shoddy construction?
They have a solution. In Hailun City, Heilongjiang Province, after a poorly built road
developed cracks, the local government's solution was stitching the road. Man, the people of Hailun
are truly ingenious. The road cracked, so they just stitched it back together. A netizen bluntly
exposed the truth. After multiple layers of kickbacks and subcontracting, the remaining
money was only enough to do this much work. Tofu-dreg construction can be seen all over China.
Even in the political heart of the Chinese Communist Party Beijing, this phenomenon is
just as common. In November 2021, a road in a commercial district of Chaoyang, Beijing suddenly
caved in, causing an 83-year-old elderly woman to fall into a deep pit. There were no proper
barricades around the hole, just a few stools placed nearby. A netizen pointed out, there are
so many similar incidents in this country. In fact, the entire underground structure of Beijing is
unstable. On the surface, everything looks glamorous, but underneath, it's hollow. I doubt
there are regular civil engineering assessments, and the city has failed to meet proper scientific
standards. In China, more and more cases of tofu-dreg construction are being exposed online,
allowing those unaware of the issue to see the shocking reality. But for many, these revelations
only send a chill down their spine, making them wonder, how does one even survive in such an
environment? A user on Xplatform oversees expose posted, the CCP has publicly released surveillance
footage of the Wenchuan earthquake for the first time. A large number of the victims were students
in schools, while government buildings suffered almost no casualties. It was clearly a man-made
disaster, a consequence of tofu-dreg construction. The CCP's evil lies in its efforts to silence and
blind people from the truth. You're not allowed to see it, and you're certainly not allowed to
speak about it. The CCP is utterly evil. Tofu-dreg construction poses a severe threat to human lives,
yet the Chinese government seems unconcerned. They are more interested in protecting their
Meanwhile, ordinary Chinese citizens are left with no choice but to live in overpriced,
poorly built homes, walk on crumbling roads, cross unstable bridges, study in unsafe classrooms,
and even seek medical treatment in shoddy hospitals. This clearly reflects the government's
true attitude toward the life-threatening issue of tofu-dreg construction. While they
proclaim the slogan, serving the people, in reality,
it is the people who suffer while the government turns a blind eye.
