China’s Construction Nightmare: Roads Collapse, Steel Snaps by Hand?!

This is what kind of tofu dreg project? Two cars were waiting at a red light when the road suddenly collapsed, burying both vehicles together. It's outrageous. What kind of tofu dreg project is this? The cement floor at home shatters with just a poke from a key. Is this a floor or a sandbox? What kind of tofu dreg project is this? The rooftop falls off without warning. It's terrifying. What does human life mean to you? What kind of tofu dreg project is this? The wall is cracked wide enough to fit a fist inside. People living there don't even dare to close their eyes at night. Okay. Okay. The sunroom, look at this. Pulling out vegetables. Just pull and they come right out. Pulling green onions. Pulling vegetables. Let's pull another one. Look, there weren't even any embedded parts reserved in advance. This is blatantly exposed. In recent years, while many newly delivered residential projects across China have frequently exposed quality hazards, such as water seepage and exterior wall detachment, many homebuyers originally received their homes full of joy, but were soon forced onto a long road of rights protection. Once a house is delivered, home owners defending their rights has almost become a fixed industry pattern. Oh no, it's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. Folks, you really don't know until you see it. Once you see it, wow, it's shocking. We've seen tofu dreg projects before, but compared with this one, those look like child's play. How can roof tiles be this thin? Forget about people living there. Even ghosts would fall through. It's like the developer has never seen money before. Tell me, what's the difference between this and murder? Their conscience is pitch black. They say you can chase profit, but not at the cost of lives. Would you live in a home like this at Mao Ming Egg Farm Country Garden in Mao Ming? When homeowners in building 68 to 79 discovered shocking construction flaws, columns could be scraped apart by hand. Inspections found over 30 spots with cracked concrete and rusted rebar. Some walls even contain seashells, raising suspicions that sea sand was used in the concrete. Walls crumble with a squeeze, cement falls off with a poke, and exposed rebar is visible in load-bearing structures. After years of waiting, owners say the delivered homes feel unsafe and poorly built. Moved from crumbling homes to questionable bridge fittings, these incidents have fueled public anger over construction quality and safety. Netizens discussed the incident heatedly. Fraud is fraud and must be investigated. Construction was not carried out according to the design, and fake methods were used to pass inspection. A construction team used a crane to dismantle an old bridge pier. After drilling through the outer reinforced concrete, sand continuously flowed out from inside. It was originally thought that the pier was filled with bricks, but it turned out to be filled with sand. What kind of principle is this? Recently, it circulated online that on the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, hundreds of thousands of bolts had mysteriously disappeared. It looks extremely dangerous, involving over 5,000 kilometers of track. Some believe this is tofu-dreg construction. Others suspect malicious sabotage. Look here, one has fallen off. There's another one here. Let's look ahead. Oh, there's one missing here too. Let's look further ahead. Many netizens said this was due to cutting corners and using inferior bolts without following installation procedures. Others said that there are many people seeking revenge on society nowadays. Are they trying to start a revolution? What kind of tofu-dreg project is this? The road is like paper. Cars fall through at any moment. Is this road built to trap people? Oh, what kind of tofu-dreg project is this? A residential building tilts directly to a 45-degree angle. This isn't a house. It's a time bomb. What kind of tofu-dreg project is this? The base of a high-voltage tower scatters apart with a single kick, like mud. Aren't they afraid the tower will collapse when the wind blows? What kind of tofu-dreg project is this? I tolerated cars falling in, but even an electric scooter can crush the road. It's hollow underneath. What kind of tofu-dreg project is this? Well, the load-bearing wall is hollow inside. Stones pour out with one cut. How many days can this building last? Would you dare to live there? While the construction team was building the house, unexpectedly, during the concrete pouring, the structure suddenly collapsed, scattering debris everywhere. This truly is tofu-dreg construction. One worker clung tightly to a pipe, nearly perishing along with the building. Everyone, look at this construction team building. When I thought Lubu was already unrivaled under heaven, I didn't expect someone to be even braver. Who's subordinate is this? There's no cement on your ground. Look, doesn't it crumble? Do you have any cement here? It's all sand. Do you have cement? How can people live in a house like this? Do you have any cement? Which floor are you talking about? I'll scrape whichever floor you want. It's finally about to be completed. Just a little concrete short. Well, there's no choice but to use some so-called high-tech material. What high-tech? You've run out of concrete. This is tofu-dreg construction. How did they know? They're really using tofu-dreg. Snap and it breaks. This worries me. Is this made of tofu-dreg? Look at this. Is this something humans would do? The house is only half finished. Okay, break this one. I just touch it and it shatters. We didn't even know how they unloaded the truck. Miraculously, not a single piece broke. The bricks may be fake, but the unloading skills are impressive. Oh my. Has your boss arrived? Look at the work you've done. Is this acceptable? You can't even bear to look at it yourself, right? You're an experienced craftsman. I don't want to make things difficult for you. Why hasn't your boss come? I sent him a message earlier. This isn't the work of a true craftsman, you know. Yesterday, I wanted to help you dig it out. But I think you should dig it out yourselves. Even if it's not 100% perfect, at the very least, it should pass the naked eye test. A large-scale cracks, deformation, and subsidence in underground parking garages occur because the ground foundation was not properly leveled and compacted during construction. When the surface is not stabilized, problems arise. On the bridge deck inside the underground garage, here, here, and here, there are large patches of repair marks. This is because waterproofing was not done properly. Every time there is heavy rain, water seeps through the garage walls. Formic glue is injected into the walls, and large patches are applied. What is the result? The next time it rains heavily, repairs are needed again. From first-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier cities, residential communities delivered just one or two years ago are successively revealing various problems. Bulging exterior walls, substandard sound insulation, dense defects in fine decoration, and repeated leaks. Some projects expose concentrated quality defects at the very beginning of delivery. The residential development Zhengru Yulong Mansion in Shanghai was once a popular project. After delivery at the end of June 2023, homeowners quickly found that something was wrong. Homeowner Liu Ying told the media that she hired a professional home inspector who pointed out issues such as oversized door gaps and uneven tiles. Because these did not affect basic living conditions, the developer did not address them. And she did not pursue the matter further. However, after moving in, much a series of more serious problems emerged. Liu Ying said the kitchen range hood could not effectively exhaust smoke. After removing the ceiling, she found that the exhaust duct was simply placed above the ceiling. Although there was a hole in the wall, the duct did not extend outdoors. The bathroom had similar issues. It was like a half-finished project. The relevant pipes were not installed at all. Other homeowners commonly reported that natural gas interfaces were not reserved and air conditioning holes were missing. Rooftop drainage did not connect to outlets and were sealed, causing water accumulation. Seepage around bedroom air conditioning holes damaged the walls and other issues. Less than a year after delivery, more than 90 households experienced wall seepage and mold. Recently, a provincial highway in Hainan province that had not yet been open to traffic collapsed. Triggering public doubts about the abnormal phenomenon of collapsing before use. In Boao town, or Kunghai city, a section of a provincial road under construction collapsed on a large scale without any vehicles passing. Online footage shows that the road surface was higher than the surrounding land. The upper layer was asphalt, and below it was a roadbed composed of crushed stone and soil. According to a report by Huasheng Daily, at around 7 a.m. on February 11th, the road section showed obvious signs of sliding. Two hours later, it completely collapsed. There had been no significant rainfall in the week before the incident, and the road had not yet opened to traffic. The affected section was Jiuk Road. This was not an ordinary rural or town road, but a key project included in Hainan province's 2024 Highway and Waterway Transportation Plan. Preliminary verification found that the original site was an abandoned river channel with a large amount of soft soil and silt underground. The construction unit failed to properly treat the soft foundation. One day after the uphill roadbed was filled, the load exceeded the foundation's bearing capacity, ultimately causing the collapse. Netizens criticized. Laying asphalt directly over Loess is reckless. Officials are shielding the construction party. They must have taken bribes. It must be thoroughly investigated and the corrupt elements rooted out. Fortunately, it had not yet opened to traffic or the consequences would have been severe. Corruption and officialdom has led to the endless emergence of tofu dreg projects in China. Not only domestically, but through the Belt and Road Initiative, such projects have been exported worldwide.
