The biggest tofu dreg failure in China

There's no signal. There's no signal. We don't have any signal either. You're lucky, brother. This is dangerous. We can only wait for the fire department to come. It seems that China's number one threat isn't the US sanctions or protests. It's actually rain. Welcome to this episode of China Insider where we discuss chemistry. What happens when you mix water with tofu? Well, you get Chinese infrastructure. Yet, China's number one enemy is the rain. This cement water canal for crops was built in 2020, just five years ago. And it says here on this plate that it's high-quality construction. And it's already being washed away by rainfall. Mother Nature, some countries love it, some countries hate it. In China, it's the standard quality test. The CCP has a mantra. It's called the endless joy of struggling against the heaven, earth, and people. And obviously, Mother Nature is going to be mad. And they're seeking retribution for what the CCP has done to nature. Every year, though, there seems to be a certain part of the country that experiences another historical flood or another historical rainfall. And unfortunately, that just became the standard for testing how good these tofu-dried constructions really are. Now, the truth is, bridge collapse after a rainfall happens everywhere. It happens in every country. But it's especially difficult to process when the fact is China has elevated the expectation of their infrastructure so high that it's become a divine propaganda for them. Which obviously, it's embarrassing when it fails. Like, no other country continuously uses infrastructure as a point of propaganda. It's like, oh, wow, our country is so great because we can build roads and bridges. This type of random sinkholes are so common in China, I've got a mini compilation for you. Great roads. You know why even in major cities, this still happens? This video explains it. Yeah, it's hollow on the inside, and it's all for show. So yeah, these civil engineers in China should probably just scale the firewall and actually read some research papers on how to build roads or other buildings. What they need is a good VPN.

Like, these kind of videos are literally the physical manifestation of this ugliness you see. Speaking of roads, have you ever seen brick roads that became dirt roads after rain? Or fairly newly paved roads becoming cracked after a year or so? How about other areas? Well, it's the same thing. A house. Or on top of your roof. The fact that if your building looks like it's just Biscoff cookie crumbs, like the cookies we get on the plane, something drastically wrong has happened to your building process. This video was honestly even shocking to me. Listen to the sound of this. Now, these are just hollow boards that they've used to build a house. And honestly, it doesn't take a lot for you to destroy it. Your door should sound like this, not your entire home. Honestly, it doesn't take a tornado or some heavy storm to destroy this place. It probably just takes you leaning on the wall. And this was from April this year. I'm showing you this again because we found a new video with a different angle. You see that the column here, which supports the entire building, is crushing in on itself. And when you touch it, it just looks like, again, cookie crumbs instead of real concrete. China not only has tofu drag construction everywhere, it also scams everywhere. Like putting up this temporary greenery for inspection. Once again, this is exposing that shameful idea of infrastructure maniac, which is what they call themselves actually, the ability to put up a whole new construction within a month or a whole new bridge within this month. The speed is amazing, but so is the lack of quality. The truth is behind that building is a lot of cutting corners and costs. Unfortunately for the CCP, the logic is simple. It's to pass the inspection, pass the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Whatever comes after, we can just blame it on Mother Nature. We can blame it on other stuff. So the responsibility is always big. It's never their fault. So my final thought is, yes, every country experiences building collapse, road collapse, bridge collapse, whatever the case may be. But in China, it's so unique because the speed and the quantity of it happening, the fact that I can make multiple videos about this speaks a lot of volume. Thanks so much for watching this episode.
