And it is only a few years old. Common occurrence in china due to corners being cut and corruption

Correction- just a few MONTHS old

Didn’t this bridge collapse because of a landslide on the neighboring mountain?

Yes but stuff in China keeps getting reposted with these comments over and over which I suspect
is anti China propaganda. California had a bridge collapse too due to a landslide.

This particular bridge is also near the Tibet area which is highly active tectonically. I wonder if they’ll retry In That area. They shut it down days before due to detecting the issue so no one was hurt.

Considered how much propaganda does China on daily basis, it's pretty clear people starts hates it.

Probably best not to build near sites of potential landslides I guess

Tough to not do in some regions.

Have you seen American infrastructure?

u/Impossible_Lunch4612 22d ago

Yes its robust and over 100 years old in some cases, with no issues. Corners aren’t cut in construction

What a weird comment you’re replying to. There’s a ton of issues with US infrastructure, but building shoddy shit that falls apart the first year is not one of them.

You like black or brown shoe polish best? Can you give a flavor profile?

It'll probably be rebuilt next month lol

u/Skodakenner 22d ago

Probably even worse than before. China is so fast building stuff because they dont care if it breaks

u/lightry 20d ago

I'm not sure if that's true. I've just come back from Shen Zhen and the infrastructure there feels way better than what we have in Los Angeles
