@@elchinas actually no not at all it’s called I’m not a snowflake. I can laugh instead of playing the victim/ poor me card. Move on that songs getting played out.
China has been saying it should be exempt from climate rules because it is a developing country. It is interesting to see that China is more affected by global warming than Western countries.
Ummm... the U.S. was exempt during its industrial revolution and car making years. U.S. only talks about concern but not really concerned because it's not a manufacturing country anymore. So gtfoh.
@@china1013you point is mute because back then we didn’t conceive the problem. Germany is a manufacturing country and has good eco credentials. Calling China developing at this stage is ridiculous. Besides whatever you think, science says it will hit China harder/Sooner.
There was a infamous incident in chyna when a sinkhole swallowed a bus and instead of rescuing the passengers they tried to fill the hole with the passengers still in the bus in the hole! That's crazy.
@@Alcastar607 Not quite typical. They usually like to film themselves doing a "daring" rescue. It's far from efficient or really that useful but filling the hole with people still in it isn't really their usual M.O.
You’d think China would divert some of the money going into its future war preparations towards combating this issue. Otherwise the nation’s biggest advantage (its ludicrous population compared to almost the entire rest of the world) is going to be its downfall practically overnight. Edit: I appear to have kickstarted an information war in the comments section in regards to West Taiwan.
The problem with using building subsidies to correct this issue is that China already puts a huge amount into its land development and infrastructure programs. Enough that it's created a real estate bubble they are actively seeking to deflate. They did this by removing some of the stimulus in the market, but it triggered a property crisis in 2024. To illustrate the problem, China tends to build tall--where you get highrises overlooking farmland--because of how local Chinese governments have used land sales and its associated land values to rezone agricultural land into high-rise residential to help pay for government expenses. This leads to problems like property speculation and over-leveraging that caused the Evergrande scandal and China's current property crisis. Problems like the collapse of Evergrande stop China from diverting money into real estate because of how it is intertwined with local government finances and real estate values, makes it difficult for the CCP to intervene with the real estate market without triggering a bank run or further exacerbating the property crisis.
@@sheepmasterraceUS military industrial complex brings jobs, and 90% of the money doesn't leave the economy, because of the fact that US weapons have demand. Who buys Chinese weapons and ammunition?
중국, 동남아시아 강수량 비교 요약 (2023년) - 미얀마: 약 2,000mm - 태국: 약 1,400mm - 2,400mm - 라오스: 약 1,648.7mm - 베트남: 약 1,500mm - 3,000mm - 중국: 약 500mm - 2,000mm - 캄보디아: 약 1,500mm - 3,000mm 같은국가라도 지역에 따라 평균치가 다릅니다. 중국북부 평균은 500mm 남부는 2,000mm 입니다. 중국보다 동남아시아의 강수량이 훨씬 많음에도 불구하고 홍수는 중국에 훨씬 많이 발생하는 이유는 배수시설이 안되어 있기 때문입니다. 천재가 아닌 인재입니다. 중국은 치수를 가장 못하는 나라입니다.
i believe this is same as what happened to JAKARTA but in larger scale ? meaning , its simply the weight of so many people + skyscrapers + pumping water out from water reserves underneath. this is happening in my tiny city with only the water extraction. i live in middle east. there are always potholes happening
It would be great if the Chinese government would use this opportunity to learn and adapt. Their ancient history was a culture that was in harmony with nature and the water. They could show the world how to live better with the Earth.
True, and?........What about Greenland, to pick another unrelated locale? And it's 'fissures', as it sounds/reads like you're talking about trout farms, with that spelling
@zombiemanjosh we have the grand canyon here in Arizona, yeah fissures do open up a lot here. The road between Payson and Phoenix has had points where chunks just collapse. The town of strawberry's ground water has been contaminated from bad pipes and the rest of our state has been selling our ground water roo much. Phoenix no longer allows water hauling to homes on the outskirts from lack of water. It's bad here :(
@@thespector2685 I was talking about "fissures" in the ground vs "fishers". I know AZ is dry, as someone from the east coast I'm under the impression the whole area is a desert with the exception of a few literal oases and places water is brought. I can empathize, but not sympathize, where I am has the extreme in the opposite direction. I'm in the swamp between a lake and the ocean. From one drowning to another dying of thirst: I'd share if I could.
And yet, urbanists have been telling us it's a good thing to concentrate people in dense urban centers instead of spreading them out in suburbs. Another point, however: While the Chinese have managed their ground water poorly and subsidence is a big problem, it is also true that Chinese construction is often poor in quality ('tofu-dreg') because of substandard materials and practices. Also, the government is responsible for urban overdevelopment because leasing land parcels to developers is such a huge source of revenue, and because they have used construction activity to goose GDP growth, regardless of whether that construction is necessary.
Very similar geology and growth issues in Orlando, Florida. Water conservation and grey water injection to the aquifer are mitigation strategies. Have seen this in Xi'an, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, Beijing, and Changchun, especially in building cracking and even window cracking.
Water conservation is also important. I don't know if China uses low volume showers and toilets, but it has helped in the US. Also helping has been converting open irrigation ditches to piped irrigation. In the area where I live, this conversion allowed the local irrigation district to increase the amount of water it could supply by 30%.
Isn't this problem occurring in lots of other countries too? All the weight from urban development inevitably causes some amount of land subsidence; it's only noticeable with extremely rapid urban building and only a real problem for flood-prone areas.
Ground water extraction is the most likely culprit. It's a major reason Venice has such an issue with flooding. Lot's of ground water was pumped out in the 1950s 60s and the cities sinking accelerated.
The USA, except at the active margin in Oregon and Washington, the costal areas are also sinking. Any Geology 101 book will explain sea level rise vs fresh water and subsidence. Florida’s karst geology will be on the news as sink holes happen more frequently.
Yeah i dont think the problem here is climate change. Cities & towns are built and subsidized by the CCP for as cheap as possible. The government contracting companies are notorious for not surveying the planned construction site, for using extremely cheap and inadequate materials, as well as horrible construction practices. That combined with the fact that regulations arent enforced, it leads to horrible infrastructure, man made disasters, and collapsing cities that wind up being worthless, leaving the millions who bought homes and lost everything before they were even finished construction.
The ways suggested to mitigate subsidence are expensive, especially desalinization are expensive-- reduces Chuna's advantages as the world's workshop. Not what the CCP wants to hear.
I've been wondering why China has been buying up seriously cheap Detroit properties since the early 2000s, and just sitting on it. Now, I need to know.
So, if the seas/ oceans are rising then why are so many developers building very expensive condos and houses on ocean fronts... Everywhere! Maybe, just maybe there's far too many people living and working in the same place?
@@golf7078 I had a friend who was from Texas and always said Texas was number one and ienjoyed reminding him it's the second biggest state behind my home state lol
Would septic systems work? Instead of the normal waste water they dump into a stream, we do that in the US. And have the same problems, because we are lazy and don't want to service septic tanks
Mother nature: " hits Philippines with powerful tupoons " Filipino: that all you got Mother nature: " hits china with 1 powerful typoon with another one on its way " China: we are dying help all we want is Philippines sea we dont meant it this way !!!
This is happening everywhere. Buildings settle. Cities settle. The bjgger the buildings, the more likely the settling. Calling it sinking makes it sound like it's tied to climate change, but it's not. Its physics. The only place this doesn't happen is inland or im areas that are ontop of bedrock. Everywhere else with sedimentary soil infused with high water tables suffer this. It's literally every single coastal city in the world.
