One of the Chinese skyscraper started shaking. People evacuated.

While running for your life out of a building may be considered "normal" in China it is not normal to the rest of the world.

Actually it's pretty common in the US whenever a mass shooter appears.

Much more efficient and sustainable then the US model where 90% of the population lives in little wooden houses.

So are communal farms. You want to go back to them? If efficiency was the primary goal you wouldn't have built cities.

It's all about keeping the population happy. I don't think people in China were happy with their old "efficiency". People in the US weren't happy with their old "efficiency" either.

6 pages of smartass trolling to point fingers at China from their daily collapsing cowdung and cardboard towers over some quickly fixed technical failure. Predictable muted response to their projections hitting them majorly back in their own ugly face and textbook attempts to drown their on dirt grasping for every straw of a story about China.

Nope, wood does not have enough strength to complete with steel and cement.

The flimsy nature of a typical American home is fully exposed when a tornado sweeps through a Chicago suburb this month (June 2021) and the wooden houses shatter like a house of cards.

The construction materials of an overpriced American home: weak wooden beams and thin sheets of plywood. The chunks of pink stuff is the insulation inside the hollow walls.

All the cheap construction materials disassembled by mother nature. Put into a neat little pile.

Mother nature huh..
So did 87,000 people get crushed in their homes by an earthquake in the US in 2008? Or maybe 242,000 in 1976? 2,700 in 2010?

There are reasons why US earthquake death tolls never sound like China's.

You keep talking about 2008,but that is decades ago ,nowadays china has much stricter law to ensure the quality of buildings, much stricter than USA. No chinese would like to live in a wooden house , even though It's dirt cheap.

That's only 13 years ago. Not 113 years ago (which was the kast time over 175 people got killed in the US by an earthquake). Having less than 175 after a quake for you guys is considered a miracle.

No chinese would like to live in a wooden house , even though It's dirt cheap.

I'm sure my Chinese neighbors thought the same thing as you when they came over. Oddly enough instead of living in a high-rise in the downtown area with 200 people they are very happy in their nice large expensive wooden single-family homes surrounded by trees, flowers, and sprinkler lawns in the suburbs.

Apparently their minds got poisoned.

It doesn't need to be build by woods to be called a house. You miss the point.

I'm sure Mao and the Chinese people scoffed at wasteful dense US multi-family apartment city living when the "correct lifestyle" of shared communal farming began in China after WW2..while we shook our heads in disbelief.

Now the "in correct lifestyle" thing in China is the same thing we had at the time. However now that we have moved away from this lifestyle China again scoffs at our supposed wasteful lifestyle...while we again shake our heads in disbelief.

throw yourself outside the window is doing the earth a big favor by reducing USA carbon footprint, which per capital is highest

Dude, people were running for their lives out of that building because of the swaying. That is a little bit more than the typical sway scenario.

While running for your life out of a building may be considered "normal" in China it is not normal to the rest of the world.

u have 200 people buried from collapsed building as common as the daily mass shooting, but gauze a shaking building in China
Lol

What is it with you and communal farms? China has industrialized and is not going back.

Meanwhile in industrialised China..
You think we are ignorant of the real China. While state media is fixated on events half way around the world they seem rather conveniently oblivious to problems at home.

I particularly liked this comment 老百姓命不值钱

You really think all the resource draining and pollution of today's China is more efficient and sustainable than the thousands of years of successful agrarian Chinese civilization?

I don't think so.

Efficiency and sustainability are all relative.

Wow the largest polluter per capita and most wasteful society giving lecture to China. Get yer pompoms ready. Lol
