A product made in China stops working after a few months? How can that be? It never happens with the other stuff made in China.

Let this be a lesson to those of you who always moan about “studies” and how everything in the U.S. takes so long to build. Yes, the red tape slows shite down but it’s all there because someone, somewhere already learned the hard way what happens when you don’t cover all the bases.

Maybe the CIA is feeding Chinese engineering students some bad info/formulas.

We are playing the long game by letting in as many Chinese students as we can into our universities to be poorly taught. I guess we will show them

apparently it was a massive landslide that caused it; the bridge didnt just suddenly collapse; you can see from that video alot more is going on than just a section of the bridge falling.


From what I am seeing on X the landslide was caused by leakage from a nearby manmade reservoir. So still a Chinese fudge up.

Studies are necessary but 10+ years worth of studies and they still have not picked a location for a new bridge in Baton Rouge is a tad excessive.

There are a few seconds earlier on one site that shows the bridge substructure that is engulfed with dust in this video. It also shows what looks like a quarry or maybe even a tunnel below the bridge, just above water level.

Are we sure the white man didn't help? I mean, they did name it the Hongqi (Honkey) Bridge.
