China’s Tofu-Dreg High-Speed Rail With Nearly $1 Trillion in Debt! Where's the Money Gone? 

L😂L

😂😂👍

Bro we need to get rid of socialism

Bahahahahaha right on..

You mean a Kung To-Fu Master? A formidable foe indeed, disappears into To-Fu right before your eyes.... 👀👀

And others when they sell their adulterated products abroad.

Always read the label. If it says Made In China, leave it on the shelf.

Socialism

China don't give a crap for the people living in these buildings.

WHAAAAA !!! Hard Plastic Steel = Plasteel (star war spaceship building material). China = advanced spaceship engineering nation !!! 😝

100% Chinesium alloy. Very very fragile...

Water to increase concrete volume.

If that house was built by German or Scottish architects I'd push that out to 500 years!

The point is for China take everything it can like modern locust.

From Enterprise Press: Ecuador’s main source of power is 1. The USD 2.7 bn Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric plant in Ecuador - the country’s biggest infrastructure project - is at risk of breaking down and its dam could potentially be damaged by the erosion of surrounding slopes. “We are suffering today because of the bad quality of equipment and parts” in Chinese-built projects, said René Ortiz, Ecuador’s former energy minister. 2. The Neelum-Jhelum hydroelectric facility in Pakistan was shut down last year after inspectors found cracks in the tunnel that carried water through a mountain to power a turbine. Uganda’s power generation company said it has identified over 500 construction defects in a Chinese-built 183 MW hydropower plant on the Nile that has experienced repeated breakdowns since it began operating in 2019.

149 countries signed up to it. Sorry no more room for you. You can ride your horse and buggy. 😂😂😂

​@@petergray2712Sorry you sounded like Peter Zeehan, universally known for his lack of brain. Check your cranium with a knife and see if there's gray matter. Somehow I don't think so. 😂😂😂

@@hangtuah888sorry but we invented cars so we’ll just ride that. Seems like the countries that joined the initiative are rapidly losing confidence. Better look at the news carefully 👀

High party officials back certain contractors to win big-ticket contracts. It's common in China.

That's how it is done all around the world. Especially in the defense sector.

As soon as you realize American politicians are the worst criminals ever, the Chinese politicians say hold my beer.

​@@ronnelacido1711You sounded like you are a Congress man. Giving contracts to the military industrial complex. 😅😅😅

communism

Socialism/communism

No oversight body there. How do you expect the CCP to punish one of their own?

Over 2000 years of practice. They don't need any ism to teach greed.

They go to the United States and Canada and drive up the price of real estate, buying everything they can get their grubby yellow hands on.

you can hide money by using money power. mind blowing 🤯

😂😂😂

Human greed

Material being used

Thry can calculate absolute minimum quality.

Corruption

They don't keep falling apart. Do a real search of China infrastructure projects before you start believing such anti-China propaganda channels. Or, better still, travel to China and see it all for yourself. I did, many times. Their fast train infrastructure is nothing short of amazing, and they are exporting this successfully all over the world - while we have forgotten how to build things and so have to resort to false propaganda of the likes of this channel.

That's Population cut China desperately need for free

They would probably blame foreign entities 🥴 or hide it.

2008 'quake was "officially" over 70,000, probably 250K+ is more accurate...

I just wish all the tofu Dreg projects will crumble at the same time so that we can see true turmoil to a point the CCP can’t hide its face

I on the other hand welcome this; only a significant death toll will rally the people enough to actually do something about it

tofu-sledge

I was so going to point that out. Highlighting tofu construction with a tofu sledge. Lol

At least it doesn't squeak every time it hits the wall. It's good to preserve some dignity.

Ive used one of this before. It is strange but actually more efficient than the regular stiff one

​@@visitante-pc5zcProbably much less painful to use for long periods

Also, it is easier to inspect an overlap than it is to inspect a weld. You can see from 30 feet if an overlap is sufficient, a weld needs ultrasonic equipment to be inspected without making the weld weaker.

40x1 inch is 1 metre not 1.5.

Who is correct ❔️ 🤔

@@androidbox3571 1inch is 25mm 25 x40 is 1000 so 1 meter overlap

Not in china lol

I'm in the UK and when discussing the expense and over budget of our high speed rail the media would ask how china could do it for 1/10th the cost and in 1/10th the time. Now we realise they can't.

I am not confident in a lot of our infrastructure. Many bridges and the power grid really need upgrading. I wish we had a high-speed rail line. One thing I liked about living in China was that I didn't need a car. I could take trains or sleeper busses to get anywhere. The food is also awesome. I wish I knew about gutter oil while I was there. Oh, well. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

Lucky ,please help your zombie friends in us also eu uk au

​@@somebody8972when the swarthy reclaim the helm of the world, everything will improve over 10 fold.

​@@rururu5630We don't need trains to everywhere. That basically puts people relying on that grid for their mobility. Like the power grid, relying on something so totally can be dangerous. Much better to get people to own the ability to fend for themselves if need be, whether that's a generator or having access to a car in case the buses/ trains go down

they probably heard of rubber mallet somewhere and thought to apply the same to the sledgehammer but the note got lost due to multiple contractor and the design got swapped to a rubber handle.

I imagine it's to absorb vibration

Have to wait to find out when china attack Taiwan. It's in the making just don't when that will be though. Xijp is doing his best to get by setting up wars for other countries so America nit paying attention to china.

I miss the way he said that

Trump momento.

depends who you ask, it seems..

It sounds like it's a case what the government was being charged was 50% over the costs and expenses including the projects built in profit margin and allowances for contingencies.

@@stephenhunter70 That could be the case. If you aren't familiar you should take a quick look at the "factor of safety" used in engineering. In America structures are normally over built to meet the required "factor of safety" for public use. From my perspective it appears some Chinese construction is built as close to a factor of 1 as possible while in the USA we build with much higher factors. Overbuilding is expensive so that 50% that appears to be extra money would be better used increasing the factor ratio. No one gets awarded for being "on budget with a high safety factor" though.

handymen? you mean wet-eared trainees?

@@ronnelacido1711 , someone who’s not skilled on anything specific. Just another helping hand.

This whole Thread = L😂L TY I needed a Laugh 👌

​@@leapdriveI keep waiting for the chinese people to say enough is enough and revolt.

@@icosthop9998 , when they revolt, how do you know it will just be another Xi who will take over?

Or a high-speed train, take flight

i would argue that profit isn't the primary concern for public transport, as its considered a service similar to roads and parks. however, that service becomes worthless if said service is consistently operating at less than 4~5% capacity, similar to the dozens of vanity ghost cities built by the ccp

The CCP encouraged these unprofitable HSPR lines to bolster the GDP numbers for a given time period. Most were vanity projects. It might look good on the books for today but will result in bad economic numbers in the future.

Not if the woofer is made in China.

Watch India trains they are slow and full of people

You can compare China with India only but not with Japan or any European country XD@@juhajuntunen7866

​@@juhajuntunen7866Indian trains are efficient and reliable. China as a whole is neither.

​@@juhajuntunen7866Indian built is strong unlike China💪

For the sin of PRIDE satan and a third part of the angels were cast out of heaven. 💘

That all went out the window many years ago when WEF Corporations overthrew our governments and collude with politicians against us. They buy all the politicians & rig the elections with their media power & wealth.

Agreed...Brits are sleep walking into a housing disaster of mammoth proportions with housing developers self-certifying their own work. What a joke.

3 month old buildings are ancient ruins

When corruption and cheating are so rooted/ingrained in a culture, it is near impossible to change from within. Those in control or have authority are often very corrupt themselves. Any realistic hope for a gradual change would need to come from a powerful outside influence/force. There is the old saying in China that "honesty is stupid" and "if you can cheat, then cheat". Complementing that with money is their God and the consequences are obvious. Of course, not all are like that and there are many good people from there who don't subscribe to that. Honesty or the broader Golden Rule is not something that all cultures embrace. In some cultures, treachery is regarded as a virtue.

In china there are no rules or regulations n laws is just a formality not inforce n only used to scams each other hehe

The Beijing-Shanghai railway was opened in 2011 and the trains go there with 300km/h. Any news about derailments ? And the Eschede derailment was caused by the train wheels being made of two parts to reduce vibrations, not by shoddy construction.

@donaldatherton319 The amount of greed varies widely. It's what they think they can get away with. In china apperently that was a lot.

No it doesn't

This is the kind of comment that enables that country to keep skating by with its miserable quality without criticism.

Sadly you are not but just the local idiot.

They must be using extra-firm tofu.

mother nature must've been taking a nap

Just pay off the inspectors. Easy corrupt solution.

@@jonlee2217 But they cannot pass the buck when things go wrong if they signed off on it. Especially if they have one of those aloof but obvious government spies following them everywhere. And the financial cost would be substantially less than the corrupt version with Tofu-Dreg results

You think the red Chinese would really go for the method That would help other red Chinese...? Unlikely.

Multiple choice wrongs.?

The pilings actually have to go into the rock, you're not building a shed

not always.

Apparently you're not getting it. No, if you stop when you hit rock you have a piling that is doing nothing but sitting on top of a rock. How does that give stability? Stability is determined by the geology and the depth of the pilings. Just because you hit rock that doesn't make the geology ABOVE that rock any different than it already is, so if it's a wet, clay material that's what it is. When a geologist and engineer come up with these plans it's based on what they believe the geology is, so if they feel pylons should go 5 meters into the ground and you hit rock, there are two choices. You drill through the rock or you ask the geologist and engineer of the project if they knew you would hit rock, in which case they're going to tell you to drill through the rock. This isn't tinker toys, it's high speed rail. What kinds of forces do you think high speed rail creates? I think you'd vibrate those tracks and pylons so much, along with the weight of the trains, and if you didn't go as deep as what the lead engineer felt based on the geology, you're ripping all that apart in about 5 years and rebuilding it.

Thanks. I wouldn't have understood without all the sarcasm.

​@@johndoh5182please remember that what's obvious to you is not obvious to someone without your knowledge set. I have to constantly remind myself of this in my IT work, and yes it's very frustrating. However, being a sarcastic ass makes most 'normal' people ignore what you're saying. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. 😊

Likely not. Additionally, will the debt ever be paid off and back haha......

I would say you are looking at completed tofu construction, this is the best it can be done

haha@@eee9034

No it falls apart faster than theycan fix and build 😅

hilarious@@kenhamaker

Even the hammers are crap quality

Then you get mugged because china is lawless, then you eat nasty sewer oil because the Chinese don't care.

I guess all the commuter rail lines in my country must just be my imagination.

Apparently, Japan, India, most of Europe, and many other places have not heard this yet. Even here in Boston, where they might have heard these facts, thousands of T riders daily forget.

bro really thought that passenger trains can act like a bus lmao

Agree with your take. Passenger rail is a highly problematic method of transport. I think it could be used well enough in certain locations, but ultimately those relying on it have no mobility in the case of an emergency. Sadly too many people are caught up in the politics of supporting it without planning for the unexpected. Much of Europe falls under that category.
