this means they're building differentlyconstruction failures are relatively common in inland areas, but not expected in showcase cities such as Shanghai which will host the 2010 World Expo.
No shit. Chinese products at Wal-Mart are shit, but their building codes rival Switzerland? Me no think so. God knows how many dead men they plowed under making it.wouldnt want to live there tbh!
I heard a statistic about a year ago that China was completing a coal-fired power plant EVERY SINGLE WEEK! That is even more impressive. These pre-fabbed buildings go up pretty easily as mentioned earlier... it's like a giant tinker toy set. We could probably pull that off in the US. But a large coal-fired power plant is like a 3-5 year construction project. Pretty fuckin' amazing to be completing construction on one every week.

Why all the hate? Im sure a lot of quality things you own are made in china.
3 years later... BUMP....If they can build 15 story hotels in 6 days back in 2010 , i wonder how quick they can build a fighter jet that rivals all american fighter jets now in 2013? I wonder how many aircraft carriers they have hiding until they need them? I wonder how many weapons they have built that are superior to americas weapons that were stolen by a "chinese hacker" not long ago............. they have their citizens as the manpower for the labor... and america for the brains
