  1. On another tofu dregs collapse, I heard an awful story where this dude came to visit his elderly grandmother whose apartment was being renovated. The Chinese construction crew ignored every safety measure, they were about to install a vent by simply going right through a load bearing wall. The guy gave them an earful and told them it was illegal, but he had to leave for his own home eventually. Sure enough, the moment he left they went right ahead and put the vent through the load bearing wall. The guy got his grandma out of there asap. They just don't care over there. They do not care. If they can get away with using shoddy materials/labor and pocketing the difference, they will.

  2. ​ @HFFCANADA  It's pretty terrifying. The concrete used in these buildings is so cheap, it literally crumbles like tofu. There are many instances of it dissolving when it rains. But the government won't allow anyone to talk about it, because it's an embarrassment on the nation. So you have all these people suffering, that no one knows about. This is what happens when you have a government who gets rid of regulation and looks the other way with the few regulations they DO have.

  3. These are all Chinese buildings post 1990. We're about to see a lot of very, very bad things happen.

  5. 8:40 No, in this case it's definitely deliberate. Many Chinese construction companies blatantly and intentionally ignore safety rules because they know they're not enforced.
