And what was up with that woman falling into that manhole, but the guy who clearly had to have watched the whole thing happen simply drives his motor bike right past her without stopping to help pull her out of the manhole.

My sister in-law, being a CEO of a company, mentioned having to put penalties clauses into any contracts made with a chinese company. Then you have to find ways of enforcing those penalties, such as a boycott or having the (non-chinese) bank turn over the money in a joint account to the other company in the event of a breach of contract. Things like that. Blew my mind. "if you do business with china, make sure you've got some leverage to force them to honor a contract.", she said. "Oh.", I said......realizing this was million dollar advice.

I used to work for a medical equipment company. The president was daily on the phone screaming at the chinese reps for changing the contracts.

Have you ever heard of people who lost their life due to elevator malfunction in France? I doubt it, will be the same as here in Germany. If you die in an elevator, it's because the building is burning down while you are stuck. But then it's not the elevator that killed you...

A colleague of mine once told me how he had to test a generator in China for his company at a newly build power plant. To test it they needed to have a way to draw lots of current from it, but the high voltage lines for transporting the electricity were not yet complete. So the chinese quickly improvized a high voltage line with bamboo supports. As soon as they switched it one, the magnetic field from the current flow in the lines wiggled the cables a bit, the bamboo structure collapsed and a dozend workes below got electrocuted. Seemed like the generator worked just fine.

Its part of the communist system. Was sent into East Germany just a two years after re-unification. My West German counter part was pointing out issues like this. Maintenance was signed off, but had not been done in years. No accountability, no pride in workmanship. Always the blame game. Which is why when CNN and MSNBC sided with the CCP on the Wet Market story for cause COVID I knew it was the lab. Worked in China too. Some of the meme pictures of fork lifts lifting forklifts to lift a person up to change a light I have actually seen that. Watched a forklift fall through a floor into a sub basement that I had been told was not there. On the project I literally had to inspect every thing.

Man, Winston, this video struck a nerve with me because I totally know what you're talking about. I lived in China for 17 years and maintenance was always a joke from the time I lived in a dormitory up until I left the country and my so-called luxury apartment in 2019. The elevators were the worse. Buildnig management in my last place didn't even bother to call in the technicians. They would just take the original certificate and photo copy it with new dates to show that it was "inspected". There were many times I was terrified of that ride to and from the 19th floor. By the way, 0:30, that video is still hard to watch. Even to this day I still feel gutted for that little boy who lost his mom because a mall couldn't bother to make sure that metal panel on the escaltor was secure. That was truly criminal.

Never stick your arm into an elevator to stop them closing! At a huge hospital in Houston Texas that I worked at, there were 2 serious elevator “mishaps”, both involving the doors not opening back up. In one instance, a young doctor reach his arm and head in, thinking the door’s sensors would cause the doors to open back up- but the sensors failed. The door slammed on him and took off with a nurse and his head inside. The nurse was horribly traumatized, as it took several hours to get the doors to reopen. Then, just a few weeks later, the doors slammed on a patient in a gurney and cut the patient in half when it took off. Those sensor are not reliable.

How can we guaranty that the laws are not broken, when there is no country in the world in which some people won't brake the law to cheat with something somehow. In China it happens that is about organs and that is not our fault. Chinese people are the most smart, especially from the CCP, don't you agree ?

If you don't have enough, you risk it. For example the non-Chinese because are NOT, are not smart and brakes the law by crossing the street on the red light. Or by selling drugs for few hundred dollars or few thousand dollars. But some of the Chinese people especially from CCP, are smarter than your people because ours sell (as you say "illegally") organs more than drugs, because are more valuable than drugs, since are worth tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. :-) We are open and honest people and we welcome you with your open heart : - ) :-) after all will be your open heart and not ours, right ?.

Come on, come, come, come! and be rewarded. Our economy have slowed down so much, and we could use your health, pardon us, because some of us don't speak English so good, We meant 'help', we could use your help. If you work too hard and have no time to visit us, then put your retirement fund or other money in the funds and stocks which includes China to help our CCP people to have greater wages. After all, remember that you care about other countries ' people's wages. We know that our CCP people have nice wages, but could be a lot, much, much greater wages! So why not? They deserve for working so hard in the committee. After all is your money and your government have no business to tell you where to "invest" your money. Maybe if we get enough of them, we could fix the elevators and the mobile floors, so that no one would fall through them and have their necks broken, and have their organs sold. What do you say ? Are you going to come to China to visit us ? Or at least invest in China ? : - ) :-) See we still welcome you with a smile. Don't trust others who says that we do not welcome you anymore.

As a species were so stupid that we think we can keep on just abusing our planet and that it's going to just be here for us and be able to sustain life let alone Our Lives when we just are trashing everything all over the place and not giving a crap. People always seem to think the 1950s was such a great time economically, but what people don't understand is you look at the houses in the 1950s and they half the size of home made today and had about 90% less stuff in their homes then what most people have today. Also after the depression and WW2 just being over that and hou making was a huge boom just in itself. For years I was always buying phone recharging cords and they never last a month and 95% of them are made in China. Well the ones in China cost like $10.00 -$15.00 a piece. So I finally went and spent $25.00 on one made in the USA. Well I have used that USA made phone cord daily for over 2 years. This has saved me like $200.00 by just putting a little more money up front. I dread the day my 25 year old USA made refrigerator finally dies. But it still chugs along. But basically anything that come directly from China and is not made by USA spec should be ban. I see all these cleaning supplies coming out of China and being sold like on Temu and worry how that stuff effect not only or pipes and sewer system but also our lakes and waterways.
