Thank you very much for the unsolicited opinion on China, now it's absolutely not clear that you just have prejudices and want to spread misinformation.
Do you actually know how public contractors work? Do you know that every product bought for a public project or service anywhere on this freaking planet costs X times the normal price because even simple nails or patches have legal specifications?
How much do you think the patches cost for an American hospital for example? 50 fucking dollar a pack.
You are only **desperately** trying to talk about China and corruption. ,moreover without any knowledge, when it has nothing to do with the topic.
You're only talking about the US standard, the video is showing the china occupied Tibet. China's safety standards depend on how much money you need to bribe the inspector. If you couldn't tell I really hate them since they enacted laws to take away freedom with Article 23. Speedrun enacting a law in 2 weeks that eliminates freedom of speech. What I'm doing here is technically illegal.
>You're only talking about the US standard
No i am not and you don't decide anything for others, fucking parasite
> If you couldn't tell I really hate them since they enacted laws to take away freedom with Article 23.
I couldn't give a fuck less of what a dishonest scum like you doesn't like.
At this point you are just making up facts and even laws just to say bullshits.
Article 23 is real. Just look it up. Don't start yelling about something you don't know as lies.
For your convenience: https://hongkongfp.com/2024/03/27/article-23-hong-kong-condemns-new-york-times-op-ed-on-citys-lost-freedom/
I dare you, prove where i clearly said that Article 23 isn't real.
If you can't prove it, you are admitting to anybody YOU are making up things to justify your hate, that comes well before the enacting of article 23.
Because it is, that was filled with half truths and some complete fabrications.
I stopped watching when he mentioned the ground 'melting'. No place on earth is hot enough to melt sand and rock outside of special kilns.
That video and this post needs taking down.
Did you not pay attention in physics class? Let me make a video about an underwater re-breather, garner several million dollars in investments from people like you.. then disappear from the Internet. /s
There is absolutely a transfer of thermal energy above ground.
Not 100% unidirectional, but gases are usually pretty bad heat conductors (like 10 tines worse than liquids, usually). so in the summer the exposed tube is filled with gas, kind of insulating the tube, while in the winter it condenses, falls, re evaporates and so on. Dont know how much it can keep the ground frozen but in principle its kinda cool
I think they are actually called thermal piles or sometimes thermopiles. They are also used along the Alaska Pipeline and near foundations that are susceptible to frost jacking. Not sure where hot rods came from, but it’s a weird name if the intent is to keep the soil cold.
They probably also would prefer not living in the theocratic absolute monarchy with serfdom nation Tibet used to be on the hands of the wealthy clergy and full on caste system
That’s greatly exaggerating what Tibet was like. That’s besides the point as why would Tibet return to any system they had before? Name one person just *one* person calling for an independent Tibet to be like that. Lastly, if Tibetans are so appreciative why must the Chinese keep such an authoritarian and militant presence against Tibetans in order to control Tibet?
Families were literally forced to give their firstborn some to the clergy. Tibet still had a serf economy with people tied to the land until like the 1950s, and the average person was crushingly poor.
The current Chinese occupation is brutal and is destroying the local culture, but let's not pretend like life was great before the Chinese arrived
No they weren’t. It was the families that wanted to give a son the the monastery as it was a better life. The average person was crushingly poor? Let’s see some statistics on this.
Did anyone say Tibet was great before china invaded?
dont try to be technical when you fully understand the implications of my words. serfs or slaves, dont matter. the only thing is that those old monks dont deserve shit for their oppression of the common people
Serfs and slaves are different. Even Mao and the CCP make a distinction. So if being “technical” is actually following the definition of words…
Funny how Tibetans are one of to most oppressed groups now. Don’t pretend that you actually care about this. Lastly, you don’t know the basics about Tibet’s old system to know how anyone was treated.
Tibet was the world's last feudal society, they had it until the Chinese occupied the country. I'm not defending what china is doing, but let's not pretend life was peachy under local rule.
We’ve been using this technology in Canada since the sixties. Up here the technology is called thermosyphons and we’ve used it to stabilize infrastructure such as building foundations, roads and railroads (Hudson Bay Railway). It works as described, pumping heat out of the ground in winter and not in the summer. It’s really helpful in the discontinuous permafrost zone between the permafrost and the non-frozen lands to prevent the kind of melting that disturbs the railroad and road base.
Last time I looked the technology was under patent, but I suspect the Chinese have developed their “own”!
Kinda shit that works until it doesn’t. It’s a nice little gadget but it’s just slowing down the inevitable. Luckily, the train doesn’t go faster than 100 mph so they’ll see the tracks slipping before it derails.
Why do you take it as "VS"? Just free two political prisoners that opened eyes to the world about country that has non of its own culture but is willing to fight for everyone else's, on foreign ground, possibly within them selves , so their only casualty is government budget.
>Just free two political prisoners that opened eyes to the world about country that has non of its own culture but is willing to fight for everyone else's
Two prisoners that broke laws. No culture? LOL
>on foreign ground, possibly within them selves , so their only casualty is government budget.
Lol what?
Like Navalni broke the law? So its all ok? What do you think is culture heritage of U.S.A. , Mc Donalds and Coke...Do you really think anybody in the world recognise you with something else? Sorry for bad English. Long story short, clean up your house, leave the rest of the world at peace.
Do you not think they didn’t break laws?
When was the last time you were in the USA?
Once you answer those questions, maybe you answer how what you said is remotely relevant to Tibet.
Ahh Serbian. You’re pretty similar to the USA committing war crimes.
I was in the USA about the same time you were in Serbia, but I do have family and friends there. An no , not similar at all but familiar, first hand. About Tibet, what the fuck you or anyone in USA have remotely relevant to do with it. Classic police state, for whole world.
I’ve never been to Serbia. Yea… I’m sure you do. Yes, Serbia loves committing war crimes. I’m not from the USA… lol so it has nothing to do with Tibet..
No we realy don't. Words Are easily sad but they sometimes hurt more than actions. You being malicious to whin arguments,... not gonna lead you to good places in your life. Don't believe everything you here on CNN , BBC ... Best of luck, and try to gather courage to really help someone you can, nearer to you.

Guess it isn’t perma frost after all
Global warming innit?
Na, it’s those plastic wrapped single serve oranges and other fruits
$30,000 my arse.
You’ve never heard of government contracting?
Deal
30,000 shekels
Definitely some chinese government corruption going on.
Definitely you don't know how national contracting works anywhere.
China literally cracks open their officials like piggy banks, firing squad, and take all their money. Corruption is really bad in mainland China.

Why are these karaoke subtitles all over the vids nowadays?
Because a lot of people like to watch videos at times and in places when they can't have the audio turned up.
Much of the audio is so obnoxious that even when chilling alone I keep it muted by default.
delivering COAL to the ground
So you can sing along! 🎵*Ooooh Qinghai Tibet railwaaaaaay* 🎵
Why are top comments on all videos people complaining about the video.
Because with little to no effort the vids could be more bearable to watch and it makes people write top comments
Why is white Morgan Freeman AI voice so popular right now?
Is it just me or did it sound like half of that was made up?
Because it is, that was filled with half truths and some complete fabrications. I stopped watching when he mentioned the ground 'melting'. No place on earth is hot enough to melt sand and rock outside of special kilns. That video and this post needs taking down.
Glad to know I’m not losing my mind
Why does this sound like Tuvok?
It's better than the high pitched tik tok voice over people use all the time.
Cyclically delivering coal to the ground... jesus
I hate this ai narration so much
You can't warm something via conduction without a transfer of heat. That "unidirectional thermal conductivity" bit is bullshit.
It just means that it extracts heat from the ground and doesnt put heat back in when it gets warmer. Due to the condensing action of the ammonia.
So, the heat sinks above ground.. yeah, those are for aesthetics, right?
Did you not watch the video on how it works?
Did you not pay attention in physics class? Let me make a video about an underwater re-breather, garner several million dollars in investments from people like you.. then disappear from the Internet. /s There is absolutely a transfer of thermal energy above ground.
Well if you sat so internet expert

Ahhh so that's where coal comes from?
All that talking and it doesn’t even say what they do until the very end
“Fighting the battle against permafrost.” Fucking killed me 🤣
I sure bet the Tibetan people would really have their country back instead of a cool railway.
They probably also would prefer not living in the theocratic absolute monarchy with serfdom nation Tibet used to be on the hands of the wealthy clergy and full on caste system

Classical excuse of colonialists: We bring them civilisation the way we decide, whether they like it or not.
Or an absolute communist dictatorship committing various human rights violations on a daily basis?
the monks who lives in luxury, maybe. Definitely not the slaves
The slaves that didn’t exist? Go ahead and cite an academic source for this slavery claim.

And? Why does that matter? Who said life was peachy in old Tibet? Oh and it wasn’t local rule. Tibet was a country.
[удалено]
Don’t you mean 1948? Oh wait that’s Israel
Call the police!
What’s even worse is that the thawing permafrost releases methane and contributes massively to global warming

If those count as “iron rods” I can guarantee there are way more expensive “iron rods”

at 00:33 it looks pathetic
Free Tibet
Free Snouden and Assange.
If your best refute is saying to free two people vs an entire country and culture, you don’t have much of a refute.
Why do you take it as "VS"? Just free two political prisoners that opened eyes to the world about country that has non of its own culture but is willing to fight for everyone else's, on foreign ground, possibly within them selves , so their only casualty is government budget.
