   1. I’m shocked they noticed.

2. Metaphore.

3. Question: which collapsing empire
   will bite the dust first? America or China?

4. Things that go boom …. go bust.

5. The best part was one did not fall over that was suppose to. It just collapsed a couple of floors and stayed standing with a lean. The Chicoms can’t even take down the ghost towers with explosives without messing it up somehow. They will start building the next batch of ghost towers as soon as the debris is removed. It will be a make work project for 10 years. On year 11 they have to demolished as they are too unstable for people to live in.

   1. Raccoon City!

      Maybe those super tech fighters of the Peoples Army Air Farce can use this area as a testing ground

6. They can’t blame it on Covid-19. China lists a total of 4636 deaths.

7. central planning at its best

8. One tower didn’t quite make it all the way.

   Wonder how the CCP’s propaganda machine will spin this.

   1. They weren’t trying to demolish that one, they successfully shortened it by by two floors as intended.

9. Soon we’ll be seeing that (hopefully) in the Lower Mainland!

10. Do not worry, I am sure that President for Life Xi JinPing is confident that he will lead China to greatness, no matter how many more Politicians, Bureaucrats, Tycoons, and Chinese Celebrities he has to scapegoat. No matter how many cities collapse, Chairman Xi Will Still Stand Strong!

11. Its a wonder they didn’t think to give President Houseplant (Bidensia F***tardia) a long-term lease on those properties, to house the millions pouring across our southern border. I’m certain he’d have pounced on that deal, and paid California rental property rates.

12. Pity the fool who has to set the charges on the now precarious building that didn’t fall.
    And pity the fool who didn’t set the first charges correctly.
    Oh, and nice, dystopian rows of buildings in that sick pop up city.
    China is, indeed, asshoe.

13. Blowed up real good.

    1. I got that Second City reference!

14. Tofu-dreg.

15. Ghost city gets exorcised.

    (China accidentally demolishes secret bioweapons lab — 1.9B gravely ill bats flood the skies seeking vengence and intercontinental flights).

16. Holy shit, that’s a future cam. Calgary’s downtown 2030.

    After Trudeaus 7th minority government plus two NDP supermajorities, the great reset hits us hardest of all.

17. But but I was l was always taught in school that it is free markets that waste resources and scarce building materials because capitalism constantly misreads the needs of the people.

    1. Raccoon City!

       Maybe those super tech fighters the Peoples Army Air Farce can use this area as a testing ground

18. They were making space for their next coal fired Power plant.

19. The Chinese Government has lots of cash to cover this financial failure. Doesn’t it ? Otherwise the ripple effect will bring lots of desperate little investors, supplies and their employees into the streets. Went the day well, Xi ?
