Residential Building Splits in Half, Gas Leaks, Stairs Crumble: China’s Tofu-Dreg Projects Astound

On the afternoon of April 27th, it was reported online that a residential building in the Kang'an Community, of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, showed signs of wall cracking.
A video shot by a netizen shows that at first the crack was only about 10 centimeters long, but soon it enlarged to about one meter. As the gap grew larger, the building almost split in half, with one side leaning. This scene shocked everyone present.

@@davidholder3207 Before you build a bridge you have to make sure the soil under it can bear the weight, the soil has to be very compact and stable. They had ways of doing this similar to a proctor test and a sand cone testThe ancient Romans being the best civil engineers that history would see for centuries learned it the hard way. This is before science so it was just an ongoing record of learning from past mistakes with knowledge handed down to the next generation. They only built with the best plans, with the best material available. Earthquakes are a big problem in Italy so you have to "over build" often. That means make something much stronger than necessary every step of the way so that when it's finished it's going to stick around. They also made sure to pick the best spot for their bridges and would sometimes dig and dig and dig to make sure that if there is bed rock, they'll hit it. Also, you have to remember that after thousands of years all of the ones who couldn't survive the test of time fell apart. What you're seeing is the ones who could and did. What you are seeing in your driveway is the cheapest cement on discount at Home depot, poured by the cheapest guys a crooked sub contractor tricked into working in terrible conditions regardless of the untested soil.

I lived in harbin and I am an Aussie. My Chinese wife and I purchased a new home up there from sunac off the plan. During construction we visited many times and saw some pretty crazy things. With regards to its ground base, the level it put a concrete pad down and say all good. What they don’t say is that around the edges of the pad they don’t give it any support and the ground it’s built on is on top of the rubbish bought in from other construction sites. Then the pad is more sand than concrete and sinking is common. The big issues is the pad. They don’t do it correctly. Our underground car park was supposed to be ventilated, it wasn’t, it had backup diesel generators again without proper ventilation, it leaked water, a lot of water so much that it formed a sort of cave under a building 5 down from us, the temperature in the car park was o the minus and it hilariously set off EV cars batteries and so much more. Point is it’s money for them. They don’t care about anything they make there. It’s taught to them from school to scam. My wife’s mother was into pyramid schemes. She led many of them. She is also a party member so anyone who complained well bye bye.

This sort of thing simply does not happen in the UK to my knowledge or if it does it is extremely rare. This chap is perfectly correct China will need to rebuild everything every 40-50 years if not much sooner in many cases. This is perhaps better than the CCP employing half of its workforce digging holes and the other half filling them in again, but not a lot better. One is seriously left to wonder if the CCP has done anything right at all? Surely no country or its government could be this incompetently corrupt by mistake? I beginning to believe that this has been done as a deliberate act of sadistic cruelty. Perhaps the CCP's top brass have a collective circle jerk over movies of these buildings falling down while fully occupied?
