Tofu Buildings and Labour Camps

Hey Laowinners!

I've been trying to post daily, but instead of spamming all of you every day, Winston and I have worked out a more structured Patreon schedule, so I will combine 3 days posts into a Tuesday post that is more well thought out. Also, I am working on something pretty cool that I will announce on Friday that will help bring us together even closer. 

ANYWAY!

Tofu buildings. Many of those buildings you see covering the landscape of China are starting to show their wear... after only a few years. Thankfully, most of those buildings are unoccupied... but are they? 

As the ghost towns crumble, people are left with uncertainty that their recently developed properties are not suffering the same fate. Take my flat in Inner Mongolia. Have a look at what's happening to it, and many other places around the country. 

The styrofoam siding is showing its colors, and guess what? That building is set to be taken down. Less than 10 years old, and everyone who bought a flat here has to move. 

My parents in law have a 7 year old flat that is already crumbling as well. The delusion that some buildings are better than others is only partly true. The artificial prices of the housing bubble have led many to believe that more expensive = better quality. This simply isn't the case. Not to be tin foil hat, but I worry for the future of China when this farce of a housing scheme all falls down.

Speaking of uncovering the truth, a hilarious development in the Wu Mao sphere has unearthed.
Contrary to what you might think in the comments section, most Chinese people actually enjoy my videos, and agree with a lot of my sentiments. I am constantly assured by my Chinese friends that the negative comments are all from Wu Mao (paid and unpaid, alike),  which I addressed in my "Exposing China's Paid Internet Army" video. 

Many of the Chinese netizens actually despise the way that Wu Maos pollute the message boards and forums all over the Chinese internet. Unfortunately, people get their accounts banned when mentioning or calling out a Wu Mao in posts. However, the other day, a huge development occurred when a well known nationalist Wu Mao, who denied being one previously, forgot to hide his location, which turned out to be none other than....

A labour camp...

So not only is China hiring off duty soldiers for this work, but also people in forced labour camps. Imagine this. You are thrown into a labour camp for dissent, protesting, or whatever, and you are forced day in, and day out, to write comments praising the government that threw you into the camp. Talk about irony. 

Thanks for all of your support. I am still answering inbox messages daily, so feel free to send anything you like my way! Appreciate each and every one of you!!!
