when you have to replace things falling apart so often it's not surprising

Such wonderful accomplishment!!!

Don't they have 3 times the population?

not after the wall is built

to be honest it really did make me think

all in all US doesn't have too much to worry about though.... yet

Well, Amerilards build homes with cardboard and plaster

...

That's communistic af

Is it real?

actually that chinese "skyscraper" lasted exactly 3 days then it fell over cause they screwed up the foundation lol

Yea, the chinks decided to bulldoze a bunch of land and build entire towns and cities but no one ended up living in them

Seems to suggest building codes and other forms of government oversight of business are (gasp) logical.

Seems to suggest that the free market gives construction companies a financial incentive to do a good job so they will be hired again.

Who needs to follow building codes in a socialist utopia when you can just bribe government officials?

That shits creepy as fuck.

Because they didn't think about what people need like a job and a market to buy groceries.

reminds me of the megastructure

They fill it with twice as much air.

> cement
no, shitment
most of that crap isn't lasting more than 5 years

government contracted with builders to make cities for the insane amount of homeless people.

Theres a documentary somewhere about it.
Cities as large as new york with nobody in them. The malls even have unapproved branding in hopes for stores wanting to move in. The prices of the homes are only going up too, cities destined to die.

Yes the retards built 11 cities a couple of years ago and still no one lives in them. The governors wanted quick growth so thats why they built them, google the chinese housing bubble. It was beginning to burst last year but the chinks SHUT IT DOWN.

thank god trump won and will trade war these chinks into submission

>build empty cities
>government spending counts toward GDP
>artificially lift china GDP with this bullsht government spending
>hundreds of millions of sqft of empty buildings

Profit????

...

it's their superior Georgian economics, BTFO to Keynes every time

*gasp*
wow a FUCKING

you are really the scum of the earth idiot kys

Always suprises me how defensive Americans get in China threads. I think this national "We are number one, always and forever" mentality will be your downfall.

Ancient Rome: Pax Romana
1815-1914: Pax Britannica
1945-???: Pax Americana

A part of manufacturing cement relies on a product created by oil refineries. The oil industry was a lot bigger when China was buying all of the manufacturing materials.

Add that to how they are handling their massive economy, or rather how they dedicate a lot of their budget to building infrastructure, and it starts to make sense. China was presented with the unique advantage of a global surplus of construction goods, and used their massive economic weight to buy it all up.

This is also a large driving force on oil prices, as China has greatly decreased their building projects in the recent years, meaning oil prices drop to adjust to their decreasing demand.

Is anyone here arguing that they aren't?

It's only commies that dont think they have a use.

You would think they would have noticed the unstable foundation when they were building the fucking skyrise.

No lie, I'd love to live in one of those places. I'd have the whole fucking city all to myself. I can't think of anything more comfy than that.

England had two hegimonic periods both in the early 1700's and then again in the 19th century

And America is better than you Britts in every way

They probably did, then they got bribed so they would shut the fuck up about it.

What is the name of documentary..?

It gets a whole less comfy when you realize there is no power or food anywhere in the city.

I imagine so, but surely the entire thing was wobbling when they started getting to the roof sections, right? Perhaps they had temporary supporting structures during the building process that were removed once it was completed.

Or they are chinese and just decided to finish their orders and let the higher ups deal with it.

>America is better than you Britts in every way

This in no way challenges my point, in fact it proves it.

Most of those buildings don't have windows installed. Seems like they're not worried about water damage.

Just search ''Chinese ghost cities'' on youtube

Its insane, they could literally fit every single poor refugee in there. Fucking rayciss assholes.

They also have most elevators in the world. It's a neat fact.

Think about it, they did those kind of shenanigans and still used more concrete than US in the last 100 years. Pretty fucking rad bro.

They have 3 times the population and they're communist, also they have very little to no building regulations.

Want a house? Just buy cement and make a hut. They literally have a house built in the middle of a freeway

Job's were the whole point in building the cities, it was a vicious circle and an economic scam

based Tsutomu Nihei

Of that were the case, shouldn't a totalitarian state like china have better buildings as a result of having more extensive government over sight?

Would it even be safe to live in one?

He was actually adding more time to Britain's Pax, and implying that since America is "better" (technology and civics wise, it is true when compared to Pax Britannica era Britain) ours will last longer than yours.

I think he is right. Our Pax will last until the end of the 21st century at least. Shit might seem shaky, but relatively we are doing great. A big thing about the end of a Pax is some other force becoming powerful.

>China
>more extensive government oversight
Do people actually believe this? Typically bribes don't count as oversight in normal societies.

They also have empty ghost cities as a result.

China knows the fiat paradigm is coming to an end so they are just borrowing as much as they can to build as much as they can while money is literally free.

Then when every one else defaults on their debt they do the same thing, but at least they are left with a bunch of buildings and other tangible shit.

ahh yess

At last I truly see

It's called a bubble.

Totalitarian governments don't nessecarily or even usually have more oversight. Why would a type of government that has absolute authority have more oversight than a democracy where politicians are accountable to the people they are ruling over? If developers have influence over the totalitarian state you'll never have real oversight ever.

Totalitarian governments have quite a few benefits, but better oversight isn't one of them.

To imagine eventually every one of our buildings will be gone or uninhabited, just as these cities are. Our tallest skyscrapers will fall, our most majestic cathedrals will lie in ruins, our whole lives will sum to nothing. If we are lucky another civilization will discover us after our species dies, to be preserved in memory; however, it is far more likely we will forever remain undiscovered. We will be an unread testament to the endless march of time and the inevitability of decay.

The pinnacle of commie blocks.

I wonder if concrete is recyclable.

>gommieblocks still standing after a few decades
>chinese shitscrapers barely last 3 days
The Gooks can't even into pseudo-gommunism "right"

All that image shows is how inefficient they are.

You guys don't have anything like our towers in shanghai retard.
We have them built and people will live there eventually. People were always taking about the paris copy ghost town but now its full of people.

China is more developed than Russia. Moscow is one of the dirtiest cities on earth.

No. They know exactly what they're doing.

>People were always taking about the paris copy ghost town but now its full of people.
Wait, they really got a copy of Paris?

Just like any other capital city on Earth, big surprise...

RIDF pls go

...

Not saying Moscow is necessarily good, though, had to get away from that place 4 years ago because of the air pollution.

>he still isn't working for the ridf and having his dick sucked by natalia daily, getting sweet sweet shekels everyday

That's not true at all. Its on the same level as shitholes in Africa and south/south east asia. 15th dirtiest on earth.

yes

>I wonder if concrete is recyclable.
you can grind it to pebbles and use it as filler

God I hate chinks

...

Doesn't China have a bunch of abandoned buildings sitting around though? Like entire apartment blocks just sitting unused because of poor planning?

Yup just looked it up. Entire cities in China are abandoned. 60 million empty apartments. Wonder why nobody's forcing them accept refugees?

>yes
Is it also full of melanin enriched gentlemen?

Is this in Mars?

>he still isn't working for the ridf and having his dick sucked by natalia daily

Good insight by this Britbro

Also, relevant video about this.

Canada has the same thing thanks to the chinks. Entire blocks of new homes but nobody living in them. The chinks are the niggers of asia.

IT'S A GOD-AWFUL SMALL AFAIR

That's some garbage tier ignorance. They literally let you do whatever the fuck you want in China.

I can confirm that, doesn't necessarily mean that Muscovistan is the only city in this god-forsa- I mean prosperous country.

Want to know how I know for a fact that graph is bullshit?

That's a wipe

Tears

Nothing compares to Africa. NOTHING.

This one is better

Their cement is 50% air and they still use way more

Looks like the Chinese finally found out what a slip circle is.

He's South African.

Looks like one of my ghettos in sim city 2000

>Canada has the same thing thanks to the chinks. Entire blocks of new homes but nobody living in them.

The chinks are playing the long game in Canada. They own the land and those apartments, and are either planning to rent them to the millions more chinks that will be immigrating in the future. That or they'll get money from the cuck government to house all the muslims that Trudeau is inviting in.

>The chinks are the niggers of asia.

Not sure what's worse. Actual niggers or chinks who are smarter and capable of long term planning.

>Moscow is one of the dirtiest cities on earth

fly ash? u don need fly ash to make cement bruh.

Holy shit when did China get refugees?

please do not link to that fake news outlet. pol values veracity, not jew clicks.

Oh hey they hired the person who did Bochum University in Germany.

That's fuckin spoopy

>Actual niggers or chinks who are smarter and capable of long term planning.
>chinks into long term planning
When will this meme end. They are the niggers of the asian region for a reason.

...

and yet their infrastructure is literal dog pussy.
