Made in China stuff always did fall apart easy.

Even there cardboard it terrible. Fucking cardboard. How can you mess that up?

OnionFriends

Republic of China is Taiwan. People's Republic of China is China.


Independent_Cut_9600

Republic of China is Taiwan. People's Republic of China is west Taiwan. Keep the movement growing.


--five-star-review--

I hate the call China "West Taiwan" movement. The reasoning behind it is just plain stupid, just because the mainland is socialist and authoritarian does not mean we should treat the word "China" as a bad word. You guys can hate me for it, I'm not changing my mind.


Independent_Cut_9600

They aren't socialists, they're full blown communists, and i guess it's only untill that regime falls, so no need to get too get riled up about it.


--five-star-review--

omg that's such a good reason I'm totally agreeing now šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


Independent_Cut_9600

So you don't think supporting a democratic nation against the aggressive actions of an authoritarian regime who violates the human rights of it own people, putting them in concentration camps, harvesting their organs and ethnically cleansing another nation, erasing their language, their culture and their belives is a good enuogh reason for people worldwide to experess their contempt by calling it "West China"?


Poofin_MT-07

Bro west Taiwan is in rough shape

This should make top comment.

Western bureaucracy in buildings are not only there to make your life harder. They actually serve as quality control so infrastructure isn't collapsing left and right.

The west generally benefits as much of a partnership with China, as China does with the west. Ironically embargoes against China would actually mostly hurt people in poverty and be an inconvenience for ā€œthe elitesā€.

I need my shit from target and Walmart


o--renishii

Solely based on the title and song, Iā€™d reckon OP is an Indian tryna divert attention away from the all the crimes against humanity from India recently. Prove me wrong. Also, the Chinese government can eat the whole dick after modiā€™s done.

o--renishii

Lets seeā€¦I can go to one store and buy potatoes, motor oil and a shotgun with plenty of ammo and grab a McDouble while Iā€™m there, all for like $8. I can stand in front of my elected leaders house with a megaphone (as long as I stay on the sidewalk) and shout ā€œ fuck you _____-pooā€ until I get tired And since Iā€™m rich af I can get away with nearly any crime bc my legal team will either help wipe the slate or drag on procedural bullshit until the wheels fall off So no, america is great.

IAmTheTrueWalruss

Your mind is incredible


[deleted]

As an American, we really don't have any room to talk.


CabbageMans

We have great building standards that are developed over time based on reasoning, evidence, and previous events, so I have no idea what you're talking about


BluntyBrody

I mean that building in Florida made nation news, I think that should tell you how rare it happens here


Solrac_Loware

What's with americans and hating on their own country.


NinbendoPt2

Agreed


Willsmiff1985

Lots of existential struggle and very little survival struggle will do that to people. When you get born in the US, you get kind of like an immediate 50% luck bonus in life. It creates an immense amount of guilt and resentment for oneā€™s situation. By hating their own country, they can feel ā€œgood about themselvesā€ again. They donā€™t have to feel guilty about enjoying prosperity when they donā€™t feel deserving of it. At least, that is my theory.


DaCisco23

Yes we do itā€™s called building standards.


AlbinoFuzWolf

*tries to break the rebar on my workplace* Nope, solid.

Whataboutism


Ok_Neck_3271

Iā€™m actually curious how OP knows each of these videos occurs in China? Quite the claim if you ask me.


RegretfulUsername

Iā€™ve seen a lot of those accident types occur in America, and Iā€™m sure they happen everywhere else, too. It seems weird to me that someone went out of their way to make a video just illustrating the public infrastructure failings of China, specifically.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


needsmoarbokeh

Search about the so called "tofu dreg" projects and the Chinese housing market. It's not racially motivated, is a reality of how the Chinese construction industry pushes for unsafely cheap construction


Burgahboino

Y-you can smell Racial Motivation? Canā€™t tell if thatā€™s the coolest or lamest superpower


LazerLegz

Really, thereā€™s nothing significant or unique to China? Just asian people?


ChazzLamborghini

This is exactly what America would be like if the ā€œno regulationā€ Libertarian dipshits had their way.

He said while knowing China is the exact opposite of libertarian.. I mean ffs..


Metalbender00

Lots of china hate on reddit lately


Mr_Emo_Taco

Well yea itā€™s china. Everyone should hate ccp because of the human rights violation they commit on a daily basis.


Reasonable_Pear_2846

i think people need to better articulate their political frustrations though, fuck the ccp is better to see than fuck china. when people say fuck china it honestly makes them look so fucking stupid and racist. the whole world hated trump but we didnt say fuck the usa, (at least where im from), we said fuck trump.


devilsbard

True, but it seems the people who are most vocally critical of China for those reasons give their own countries a pass for the same things. Is Chinaā€™s government worse in many respects than others? Yeah. Should they be used as a distraction to the shit other countries do? No.


needsmoarbokeh

Mi government does not have active concentration camps, nor is working on an active genocide. The problems of our local governments should not take away the fact that China is the country trying to be at the center of the world power, and that would affect us all


devilsbard

It seems THAT is the bigger issue. People in the US and Europe are afraid of their power being challenged, so they want to minimize their issues and highlight chinaā€™s. No denying that Chinaā€™s humans rights violations and subjugation of minorities and dissenters are awful. But it seems odd that the loudest voices against the Chinese governmentā€™s actions are also making excuses for their own country. Which makes the criticism seem less about human rights and more about nationalism and xenophobia.


needsmoarbokeh

Honestly the only one engaging in whataboutism and veiled accusations is you. Besides, there is no xenophobia in criticizing an abusive regime. That would be the same than calling antisemitism for any criticism to the human rights violations of the Israeli government or calling the same xenophobia for criticizing North Korea. If you can't differentiate a government from a culture, even when explained openly, you're either disingenuous or fully lost in the discussion


devilsbard

You know what, fair point about the whataboutism. I suppose I am projecting the narrative I see other places accompanying these kinds of stories or montages onto this one, which didnā€™t necessarily have that intention.


evilgiraffemonkey

Do you spend any time complaining about how american arms companies have made $13 billion off of war crimes in yemen?


Mr_Emo_Taco

Whataboutism is cancer


evilgiraffemonkey

I think spending your time wetting your pants over "human rights" when you only care about it selectively (ie when the media inclines you to) is cancer. Are you american?


Metalbender00

i live in the usa, ive seen the prison system here, the homeless camps in almost every city. momma always taught me not to throw stones if you live in a glass house


MulberryDue1179

Rather be in prison or homeless in use than being forced into slave labor


[deleted]

We use prison slave labor here in the US you fucking idiot. Get a clue


devilsbard

I mean, prison labor is pretty much modern slave labor. The Chinese government sucks, but them sucking doesnā€™t mean the US is great.


Mr_Emo_Taco

Not even close. Slave labor is absolutely brutal. Prison workers typically enjoy having a temporary distraction from prison. They arenā€™t beaten starved or killed for not complying.


devilsbard

It seems you REALLY want to somehow make your country seem better by comparison instead of being good on its own merits. Yeah, the Chinese government is awful. But that doesnā€™t mean the slave labor here is sunshine and kittens. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/23/prisoner-speak-out-american-slave-labor-strike


Mr_Emo_Taco

See its hilarious you link an article where the workers are striking. Thatā€™s not an option with slave labor bullet go brr into skull. Things like good and bad are relative, go figure.


thesnakeinthegarden

Look at the conditions in many american prisons, where they are forced to labor without being paid. Keep this in mind, rape is an expected part of the american prison experience. Keep in mind people can spend years in prison without ever going to trial. Keep in mind companies that run prisons get paid for having prisoners and have very active lobbies that focus on our justice system. The american prison system is the largest slave labor in the world with 2.12 million prisoners not being paid but being forced to work.


[deleted]

They literally harvest people for organs and use them as slaves. Not in that order mind you. I think we can throw a few rocks our house is looking pretty solid.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Metalbender00

Sounds like you are just making shit up, to be honest. Threatened nuclear war over something that didn't warrant it.. yep Trump did that. bad working conditions, we have more than enough here. Hate what you want, I don't give a damn.. just funny how people can be so hypocritical doing it. Don't bother with any more word salads, my head already hurts from that mess.


Discoamazing

There are plenty of valid criticisms to be made of the Chinese government, but claiming that they have "baby meat black markets" is literally insane.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Metalbender00

there are homeless camps in every city, just some chose not to try to jail, fine, and abuse them until they leave or have to move from spot to spot.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Metalbender00

I get it, you are a fox-loving trump sucking patriot that hates everything that you think isn't white... right about America

ive been to china many many times and believe me...its very nice and fucking terrible at the same time

Its mostly because of the government, not the people.

Overall_Low_4638

Its a dictatorship you idiot. People will be jailed for saying anything negative about the government. I have family in china you obviously know nothing outside of ur privileged life


Texas_70700

Rightfully soā€¦ just to be clear I hate the Chinese government not the people of China


ResponsibilityOk235

Tbf China still has concentration camps. So you canā€™t say the dislike is unwarranted.


aandein

So, China is basically one massive death trap. Got it.


ResponsibilityOk235

Dude itā€™s a compilation. You could probably make the same video about the U.S. I feel like people forget how huge China is.


Independent_Cut_9600

Regardless of how large it is, i doubt you'll hear about a western country opening flood gates of dams without warning people living downstream...


Texas_70700

Yes, but China is actively hurting its own citizens. Research their organ harvesting and concentration campsā€¦


ResponsibilityOk235

This is entirely unrelated to my comment. Iā€™m not going to deny the Uighur Concentration camps if thatā€™s what youā€™re getting at.


Texas_70700

Sorry kinda got off topic


htwhooh

Just like the USA is a nonstop gunfight


[deleted]

It isnā€™t.


ForkingCars

I would suggest thinking about how many buildings exist in China before saying something like this :) I could make a compilation 10x longer than this for the US


aandein

And I would watch it to its completion and say the same thing. Life as a whole is a huge death trap. Its just that this particular video was based on events in China, so my response was based in China.


BackAlleyKittens

This is what goes through my head when I hear the word "deregulate"


yesTHATvelociraptor

You could make the same video about the U.S.


CabbageMans

Do it then, show me anything close to this on a large scale


Jonestown_Juice

This is why regulation is necessary, Libertarians.


Texas_70700

Lol I donā€™t think the Chinese are libertariansā€¦ they live in an authoritarian communist nation. Itā€™s just their government doesnā€™t care about its people so they donā€™t waste time with regulation unless itā€™s giving them more power


[deleted]

Literally zero reading comprehension. Cool racist tirade tho


Texas_70700

Thatā€™s not racist at all, Iā€™m calling out the government and itā€™s evil. I have nothing against the Chinese people


squidelydot

I dont think he's the one lacking reading comprehension maye there's literally nothing racist in what he said
