    I wouldn't trust Chinese infrastructure too far.
    Like the USSR, they tend to build to IMPRESS.
    If it all falls apart in a few years, well, there
    won't be any reports.

    I watch some of those shows about abandoned projects.
    Have you SEEN the fate of USSR constructions ? Even
    in 20 years the concrete is disintegrating - it's
    even worse than US seaside condos. The structures
    only had to look great long enough for foreign news
    agencies to print a picture. After that ...

    Oh, and TRY to sue Putin when your apartment building
    implodes. Most likely you'll accidently come into contact
    with some nerve-gas agent ....

    Oh, and did China warn the subway riders/workers
    in Hunan the other day ? Shit NO. They drowned in
    the floods. Plenty more where they came from ...
