      The residents filed complaints with the fire dept and other local depts for a year to no result.
      The windows were filled with non-flame retardant foam.
      Work was done on all buildings at once, not a shi*t was given for regards for safety.
      In the videos, it could be clearly seen, it was the netting on fire, not the bamboo.

      Some historic China-based empires embraced a plurality of political systems to govern different societies within empire. During the Qing Dynasty, the Mongols and Manchus were not administrated according to Chinese norms during the 18th century. Similarly, what is now ‚Xinjiang‘ was partly ruled by Turco-Mongol princes and Turkic *begs*. Similarly, the Ming Dynasty allowed for local, semi-autonomous rulership in what is now Yunnan and Guizhou, acknowledging that the diversity of tribal polities and larger kingdoms there that were not historically a part of a Chinese imperial centre.

      We now like to think of China’s unity of governance as a historic norm, and that the CCP is simply returning to it. History teaches us that the opposite is true: what China is doing to Hong Kong is a historic abberation and deviation from the past.

      Once again the CCP shows its true nature. It tolerates no criticism, no challenges (even just verbally) to its power. It rabidly places its own preservation and grip on power over the lives of its own citizens. Communism is a cancer.

      Shoddy construction thanks to corruption through and through. You can bet there are more than one local high ranking.CCP officials paid to look the other way and now the tragedy.

      The fact that government is cracking down for accountability is sign CCP is scared this can create dominos of frustration to spill into rebellion.

      The local news interviewed many victims and their families on TV. A large portion of them have their backs turned against the cameras, voice distorted to disguise their identities. While I’m sure some are camera shy, the self-censorship is a big factor. People are just afraid to speak out. With a massive scandal like this, no one dares to protest or openly call for resignation of the top government officials. Compare to 10 years ago, the criticism now is cricket.

      On the other hand, there is no lack of reporting of President Xi’s condolescence messages everyday on TV.

      Let this be a lesson for those that think chat control, internet IDs, encryption and vpn backdoors are tools of a friendly state.

      They are not.

      Their purpose will hurt you.
