Guangdong Province in southern China suffered from many disasters in late April and early May.
Here, a bolt of lightning struck a CCP’s flag flying at a school in this province. The red-color flag means it was dyed with the blood of martyrs. It’s really a bad omen for the Chinese Communist Party CCP.

Insane construction speeds will always compromise quality.
The gound of the road was not covered with stones properly. The mud was washed away by the water and the road collapsed.
Fake tofu roads.😢
no. it's just china.
But but but they are 3000 years ahead of west 😮
Lousy civil engineering and low quality materials.
"damage to the [road] foundation"
Looks like there is no foundation at all.
Yes, there was not proper foundation with stones, there was only the normal soil.
2:06 - The slopes of the road is also farmed it seems, on the left side in the high definition photographs.
- not much to hold back dirt when it rains
Picture of the end of the broken payment, looks like it was built on clay 🤦♀️
The "waiting until midnight to get on the highway for free" explains the accident a lot more than any other details about the size of the collapsed section:
The section of highway likely collapsed late at night, so no one could see it coming with the daylight showing the upcoming gap in the road. People were waiting until midnight to get on the highway, so there wouldn't have been as much traffic leading up to midnight because the people would think to just wait a little while longer to get on for free rather than pay late at night for a few minutes headstart. That section of the highway seems to have poor/non-existent street lighting, so there would have been no warning about the hole until the car was close enough for the headlights to clearly show the upcoming hole. If everyone was driving fast on the highway to get to their destinations quickly on a road with little traffic ahead of them, then a lot of isolated cars could have been driving far too fast to stop within their headlight range, but far too slow to fully clear the hole, leaving them to be knocked out or otherwise injured by the unexpected crash, only to get injured more when the next car impacted the growing pile of cars/bodies.
Meaning the ancient Chinese are way better builders😂😂😂 just shows how more disciplined the ancient Chinese than the modern once.
During the 2020 flood, every buildings were basically destroyed except this 700 years old temple. When I pointed out the ancient people are better at building, the nationalist Chinese start getting triggered lol
Well for one thing that is road was built on pure sand/mud. You need deep concrete pilings in place in case of flooding or shifting sands. Rain and mud/sand slides came and since there were no deep pilings to hold the road in place, the road slid away with the sand/mud slide. Then for whatever reasons cars didn't see the pit until it was too late just driving one after another into the pit. Tofu dreg technology in action
That's right, the road seems to have been built on top of sand! Sand is notorious for being unstable and not suitable for building on. As an example, in the Bible, 'building your house on sand' is used as an analogy to explain the inherent folly of following the wrong leaders.
Pretty sure there's more like this but videos always got deleted
Tofu Dreg highway 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The terrible part is that this roadway was not made properly and they never used the right materials. Sorry to the families who loss their lives so very sad to the families. God Bless all those involved.
If the government can't maintain its infrastructure properly, it's a sure bet things are getting worse...much worse. You do an excellent job reporting this story.👍😎
They just don't care.
Just another day in China.
The correct question isn't who does the maintennance, it's - who got paid to sign the maintenance got done.
Holy Shinto! Thats a lot of water
Tofu-dreg construction with Chinese characteristics!
0:23 was that a symbolic sign of the CCP?
0:52 it's both, but what bugs me the most is why didn't they turn this highway into a tunnel system?
4:21 that's right, & 4:39 I guess that comment spoke too openly🤔...
4:58 & 6:15 I like this critic guy already🙂
8:02 "..how to save yourself." Why have I shut down from reading that header🤔?
12:03 what a sight to capture😧
12:50 🤯🤯!!
13:02 I guess the Officials don't care about ppl trying to make a living when they're flooding them out of business.
14:20 they care more about dams than the Chinese Ppl's lives, just wow😠
15:00 I'm only glad that the glass window didn't fall down.
16:04 I'm sorry for his loss☹
18:00 those comments were another story😬..
18:43 I see why from that point of view😬.
The problem seems to be that the road was built on sand, a notoriously unstable and inappropriate substance to use as a base. I think this was going to collapse one day and no amount of maintenance could prevent it. What was needed was deep pilings into the bedrock to anchor it.
IMHO 5% of the total project cost must be made annually available as "preventive maintenance" fund. Repair maintenance is not the way to plan anything.
It looks like the problem is how it was constructed, not the maintenance. The road was built on sand, a notoriously unstable substance to use as a base. It was going to collapse one day and no amount of maintenance could prevent that.
The dark knight
maintained? what is this mythical word that you speak of?
Great voice and accurate reporting.
And these infrastructure are still relatively new. Build ten years ago, just over ten years old meanwhile most US and European infrastructure is much oldrer and needing much more maintenance but it's not collapsing like that at least. Here at least some old af roads like 50+ years old and the repairs are clear build before the country was free, build in a communist era surrounded by concrete apartment blocs build one after another on this hill. Quality is certainly not as good as modern roads but it survived 5 decades and it will be functional for another 2 at least with repairs. Quality is worth it in the long run, poor quality will save you in the short term but hurt more over time.
Note to the relevant departmens...
If the region gets tons of rain on a yearly or whatever bases maybe make sure you build the infrastructure to handle all that water?
Maybe just reference places around the globe and see what they did. No need to reinvent it right? 🙄
Alibaba buildings will last as long as a $5 usb hub
Meanwhile little pinks are commenting about Boeing window lol they will ignore all the tofu dreg constructions but criticize 1 bad construction that’s happening in America
yeah and boeing gets called out on it by there own staff
@@marley7868 yeah and CCP removed and ban any news on tofu dreg constructions
[EDIT] forgot to add Xi JinPooh
@@alrighty6898 yeah the difference being boeing accountable to others
meanwhile complaining about the usa when chinas in the room seems ridiculous it's hard not to be one side has "education camps" for a religious minority the other doesn't
They could only mock the victims and not offer any help!
Things are only going to get worse my Chinese dudes. The infrastructure is already built shitty, and time, weather, earthquakes and floods are just going to make it worse.
What I can't understand is most people in China live in about 5 major cities and they still can't build legit stuff,
roads homes cars etc.
🤦🏼♂️
Imagine the CCP trying to develope all of China.😂
That is so sad
🤔 hard to believe that a country literally buried by itself, could rule the world..
This country will never rule the world. It will be lucky to be around in 10 years time.
There are Serbs working in that plant?
Last i heard they were mostly Vietnamese

When will Chinese come together and elect a new government and leader?
The red flag is not china's flag that is the food the ccp took to make their ccp flag the Chinese flag is a dragon
The underlying problem is the lack of value for human life.
Notice how the totally organic comment spam remind us that this stuff happens in the US as well.
Failing infrastructure that is near the end of its life span is very different from infrastructure that never had a chance to begin with due to shoddy construction, poor design, and corruption.
Between never update an old building or infrastructure that lasted over at least a generation and a building collapse that its age never reaches the double digits, I hope you all could see the 'similarities'.
Typical Chinese propaganda whataboutism. I bet you don’t live in China.
If you are not loyal to the ideology of democracy you are always welcome to move to any eastern country to see if you like it. You will not be able to change anything if you don’t like it. You will understand human rights once you are deprived of them.
Have you been to China?
So sad. Prayers to all affected!
Yeah I guess they are broke after the president helped fund the mega prison in El Salvador.
God ain’t too happy about China
It's like our failing infrastructure here!..... Except ours has lasted for almost a century and these Chinese projects are new
This is a Great Video. Too much money spent on Infrastructure although Roads & Bridges matter. More Air & Water Transport is Plan B return to Nature.
FAR ENOUGH TO BE TOFU DREG'S
Like in America we build things at a speed faster than we can maintain them. And they don't want to pay anything for maintenance.
except it's case case result of that happening semi frequently as opposed to once in a blew moon just saying bridges here tend to get caught in the danger zone
Never trust EV.
When the man in charge doesn’t have to run for reelection, he doesn’t tend to do a very good job making sure shit runs correctly.
looks to be just a run of the mill landslide from rain.. this type of occurrence isn't just Chinese, but happens here too in the US. But for sure, if this happened before in the same area, civil engineers really needed to build a better drainage/water channel system to let the water bypass the road surface without washing away the land under it. Just recently here in California, the rain storm we had a couple months ago killed 9 people when a road got washed away by mudslides.
Then it seems like every time it rains, the 656 miles long pacific coast highway is constantly collapsing/washing away somewhere.. year-after-year, and engineers still can't do anything to prevent it (or the state isn't willing to spend the money for a permanent solution). It is said that this highway "has never been fully operational from north to south for more than a year since its inauguration" way back in 1937.
I don't think the issue is one of drainage. The problem seems to be that the road was built on sand, a notoriously unstable and inappropriate substance to use as a base. It was going to collapse one day and no amount of drainage or maintenance could prevent that. What was needed was deep pilings into the bedrock to anchor it.
@@gaz8891 I see no sand.. if it was sand then there’d be no lush plants and trees.. that’s just the now exposed dirt and under layers you see. Before the slide, it likely just looked like the rest of the adjacent surrounding land
@@LycanWitch your just dodging the point that was a new road is faulty foundation roads collapse yes but usualy it's not supposed to be that easy
@@marley7868 flood water can easily washout a road, it’s a very common occurrence across the world, including here in the U.S. if running water burrows its way under a roadway in one side and out the other, the road is pretty much going to be gone.
tofu dreg..just like their army all for show paper dragon style

Because of the Location where these disasters are taking place. Looks like Clearing the Land for PORT expansion Development plans on the Sea Coast.

weakness in spirit shown evidently by your inability to face these problems without instantly bringing up the usa
it's weak when the russianohiles do it and it's weak when you do it
You have problems like this in the US, so what is your point? You had the Big Sur bridge collapse in California. How about the Interstate 95 highway collapse in Tacony, Philadelphia (2023)?
The problem is age, Chinese roads are collapsing at very early points of their life span.
@@miguellopez3392Depending on where the bridge is built, they can fail if there is too much rain. It doesn't matter if it is 5 years old of 90 years old.
@Ace1000ks19751982 you played yourself, bridges in the US do have rating where they describe how survival able they are by the likelihood of a extream periodical flooding, they range from 5-1000 year ratings on severity of the flooding, the problem with bridges in the US is earthquakes, many bridges where built in areas that where not know to have tectonic activity because tectonic plates weren't a accepted theory at the time (late 70s)
Do you believe this vid was made on the USs' behalf? Whataboutism is no excuse.
There's always a chance of failure due to a number of reason, but if you think the quality of Chinese highways are anywhere near the quality of an American one, i have one face for you 🤣
This happened quite often on Highway 1 (the Pacific Coast Highway) in California every year due to heavy rain. It looks like this channel is running out of materials to slander China...still, this channel is better than most clown shows
By slander, do you mean lie or point out something bad happening in china?
There's hundreds of unique videos like this every day coming out of China. THOUSANDS when you count the ones too obscene to show 99% of the population.
But none of that matters because of that one road in California.
Okay, so both China and US have lousy road quality. I don't think things like this happen much in Europe. I live in the UK and have never heard of anything like this. Anyway, please don't trash this important attempt to report on what's going on in China. Maybe you can start a USA Insights channel and tell us all about the problems in your country.
Repeats, repeats and more repeats ! Tell us something we don't know.
Same thing happened to highways in America.
Okay, so both the USA and China have badly built roads and seem unable to address the problems. Things like this - building on sand without any anchoring to the bedrock - should not be happening.
If you are not loyal to the ideology of democracy you are are always welcome to move to any eastern country to see if you like it. You will not be able to change anything if you don’t like it. You will understand human rights once you are deprived of them.

The reason is obvious. Look at the way it is built up. Terrible tofu.
