Mặt Tối của Bùng Nổ Siêu Cao Ốc ở Trung Quốc | Trung Quốc Không Kiểm Duyệt - Duration: 7:55.
On this episode of China Uncensored,
China's on the rise!
I mean, look at all the glittering skyscrapers!
There couldn't possibly be some horrible, horrible downside...
Hi. Welcome to China Uncensored.
I'm your host, Chris Chappell.
China loves building skyscrapers.
Because nothing screams communist utopia
like the giant gap between rich and poor.
China is now the world leader in skyscraper construction.
About fifteen years ago, China started
filling up with 10-to-30-story buildings—
mostly residential—
in first, second, and third-tier cities.
But in recent years, skyscraper construction
has gone through the roof,
or the clouds, or whatever.
According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat,
China has constructed more tall buildings than
any other country every year for nearly a decade.
They just can't quit!
And as of 2018, among the 10 tallest buildings in the world,
half of them are in China.
In fact, that first one, the Shanghai Tower,
is second in height only to that Mission Impossible building in Dubai.
It's called the Shanghai Tower and it's located in—
ok the name kind of gives it away.
Any similarity to the Eye of Sauron is purely coincidental.
But there's another similarity
between Sauron's tower and the Shanghai Tower.
While both are impressive sights to behold at a distance—
not many people actually want to rent space there.
The Financial Review had called the Shanghai tower
a "ghost tower with 55 vacant floors"
...because less than two years after it was unveiled,
only about 60% of the office space had been rented out.
After four years, it's now just 80% occupied—
and has still failed to attract multinational companies.
According to CNBC, the Shanghai Tower's rental woes
reflect wider problems in China's real estate market.
Just because you build it,
doesn't mean they will come.
in cities in China,
the vacancy rate will remain very high for some time,"
says Anny Zhang, who does office leasing
for one of the agents for Shanghai Tower.
But there's more at stake than just the prospect
of a few real estate developers going belly up.
Vikram Mansharamani,
author of the book "Boombustology:
Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst,"
says that building very tall skyscrapers
is strongly correlated with investment bubbles.
He analysed historical trends and concluded
that skyscraper-building is
"one of the most robust bubble indicators over long time periods."
Especially the construction of supertall skyscrapers.
China already has half of the world's tallest skyscrapers
and doesn't look like it's slowing down in its ambitions.
Construction has already begun
on Shimao Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center,
which could upstage the Shanghai Tower.
The Boombustology author says
"you can think of the world's tallest skyscrapers
as indicators of lofty overconfidence"
and "a spectacular indicator of bubbly conditions."
And not the good kind of bubbly conditions.
Dinny McMahon, author of "China's Great Wall of Debt,"
says Chinese officials pumped the bubble up to ginormous proportions—
that's the technical term—
using borrowed money from state-owned banks.
"Local governments around the country tried to
juice and stimulate their economies
by building more infrastructure
and stimulating the property market," he said.
But while the growth model may not be sustainable forever,
there are powerful incentives
to keep it going as long as possible.
Because this kind of construction is commonly
the result of cronyism in which builders, investors,
and other players are 'insiders' who profit from it.
And just like karaoke and Maotai liquor,
it's a tough habit for corrupt Chinese officials to give up.
But even if you can overlook crony capitalism and bad investments,
there's a whole other problem with China's building boom:
Low quality construction.
It shouldn't surprise you that the same environment
famous for cheap knockoffs like Crust toothpaste...
...Nintendo Polystation
and of course every child's favorite toy, Robert Cop!
...is also home to cheap quality construction.
Like this building in Shenyang,
where part of a building just...peels off.
Or this one in Shanghai that simply...fell over one day.
I'm glad I didn't buy a condo in that building.
Now this may not have happened so far
in any of China's supertall skyscrapers,
but low-quality construction is a major problem all across China.
Developers cut corners, and a lack of proper oversight
means builders can often bribe their way
through official inspections.
Like this 65-story high-rise in Tianjin.
The developer had built it through bribes and corruption,
without getting proper permits.
He had illegally added 30 floors of apartment units
without factoring in important considerations, like,
you know, how to deal with the sewage.
But in a crackdown during Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign,
authorities demolished it.
So ok, China is building too many skyscrapers
that are often unoccupied, potentially unsafe,
and frequently designed to line officials' pockets.
But do they at least fuel innovation?
Officials in Beijing have talked a lot about
needing to move up the value chain
into more technologically advanced industries.
And they've said that the key to sustainable
realignment of the Chinese economy is innovation.
Does building technologically advanced skyscrapers help?
Not if you believe CityLab.
They write that "skyscraper 'canyons' found in Asia's cities
can create a type of vertical sprawl
that suppresses the innovation
that comes from street-level interaction."
CityLab says that the most innovative districts in the world
are older industrial neighborhoods,
like Cambridge—near M.I.T.—
and areas adjacent to downtown San Francisco,
where there's an abundance of mid-rise,
historic buildings that create street-level human interaction.
Well, I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Too bad Chinese cities destroyed
all their old neighborhoods to build new skyscrapers.
So what do you think about the dark side
of China's skyscraper boom?
Leave your comments below.
And before you go,
it's time for me to answer a question
from one of you who supports China Uncensored
through the crowdfunding website Patreon.
Timothy Paustian asks:
"Do the Chinese have a large debt bubble?
What do you think will happen when that debt bubble bursts?"
Good question, Timothy.
Yes, China does have a little bit of debt.
Like, around 10 trillion dollars worth.
And that's just national debt.
It doesn't included an additional 6 trillion in local debt
that doesn't usually get counted.
Which does make me feel slightly better about my student loans.
A lot of local debt goes to finance things like,
I don't know, skyscrapers!
But in modern economies,
debt doesn't necessarily mean imminent economic collapse.
The US has even more national debt than China,
and our economy is probably not in any serious bubble.
Will China have a financial crisis?
Probably yes, at some point.
But it's impossible to predict when,
or what event will knock over the first domino.
It could be the bursting of the real estate bubble.
And if that happens,
China's economy might end up looking like this.
Or this.
Thanks for your question, Timothy.

Conspiracy Legends #4 - John F. Kennedy - Part 1 - The Assassination - Duration: 6:08.
CreepyPastas, facts and more.
On May 29, 1917, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brooklyn, United States.
In 1953 he married his wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He was officially introduced on January 20, 1961 as the 35th President of the United States and had 3 wonderful children.
Then the world-famous turning point:
On November 22, 1963, while driving in a SS-100-X Continental Mark V, a convertible, the president is struck by several shots.
The strange process of the deed and many other inconsistencies let many people doubt the official version of the crime until today ...
In this video, I will discuss the conspiracy theories surrounding John F. Kennedy and some general information about this person and it´s live.
As previously mentioned, John F. Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917 in Brooklyn.
He came from a very well-off family, his grandfather, for example, was a democratic American politician
Due to the financial resources of his family, he spent his holidays mostly on the Atlantic coast in Massachusetts.
In 1935 he graduated from school and traveled to England to enroll at the "London School of Economics".
His unstable state of health unfortunately prevented his visit to this school and jaundice that had broken out in him also prevented his visit to Princeton University.
Kennedy then worked in the English Embassy in the summer of 1938.
In 1941 Kennedy finally volunteered for the US Army, which seemed to him by the current war events of World War II as appropriate.
His health also prevented these plans.
He was initially rejected but accepted in September thanks to his familiys good relations.
With hard work across the House and Senate, Kennedy eventually worked his way up politically until he became the 35th President of the United States at the age of 43.
Let's get to the actual topic.
In 1963, Kennedy made a trip through Texas to motivate people to re-election in 1964, collecting donations and settling a political dispute.
He traveled in an SS-100-X Continental Mark V to be as close as possible to the American people.
The route was also planned. The whole scenery was really made for an assassination and even Kennedy himself saw this opportunity.
This is expressed in a quote on his part. Translated in a similar way, he once said to his personal assistant:
"If someone really wanted to shoot the president of the United States, it would not be a difficult job: One day, with a riflescope, you would have to go up to a tall building, no one could do anything against such an assassination."
The same car as Kennedy also had his wife, Governor John Connally, his wife Nellie Connally, and of course the driver of the car William Greer. Furthermore, two bodyguards from the Secret Service.
On Houston Street, next to the Texan textbook camp, the famous incident occurred.
In the official version, gunman Lee-Harvey-Oswald used a Carcano 91/38, caliber 6.5 mm x 52 in a textbook storage house.
At 12:30, either 3 or 4 shots were fired, depending on the source consecutively.
In response to the official "single-bullet theory" of the Warren Commission, after which 3 shots were fired, the first ball missed its target, the second missed Kennedy's neck and injured the governor's chest, wrist and thigh. The third shot shredded Kennedy's right half of the skull, whereupon his wife climbed onto the back of the car and began picking up his brain.
Secret Service man Client Hill, who had rushed to the rescue directly after the shooters, squeezed Kennedy's wife back into her seat.
The driver, who had slowed down the car first, hit the gas again to escape.
Kennedy, who was cared for 5 minutes later in a hospital, probably died directly from the consequences of his gunshot wounds.
Immediately after the firing, Secret Service officials rushed to the textbook camp and to a grassy hill in the other direction, as the shots were being picked up by many from different directions, which, oddly enough, can not be reconciled with the official report, so let´s come to the main conspiracy.
Lee-Harvey-Oswald was arrested directly, but was killed by a nightclub owner in a ring of police officers a few days later.
While the press at that time held almost exclusively on the all-perpetrator theory of the Warren Commission, at first only 29% of the population believed in it.
In the course of various investigations, the list of suspects grew larger and larger.
Famous suspects accused of making the assassination are the CIA for political reasons, the Secret Service itself and even the Mafia, also for political reasons.
The Secret Service is so suspicious for most, mainly because of its inactivity.
On these pictures we see next to Client Hill, this young man here, as well as no one cares about the welfare of the passengers.
I hope I could present the comprehensive topic as well as possible summarized and understandable.
In the second part, which will be released tomorrow, I will take a closer look at this mysterious woman.
Look forward to "Conspiracy Legends #4 - John F. Kennedy - Part 2: The Babushka Lady".
Otherwise, of course I hope as always you appreciate this video. About a thumb and a subscription, if you find my content interesting, I would be very happy. Especially feedback and video suggestions are welcome.
See you in tomorrow's video and of course, as usual, next week!

My cats don't get along - How to help your cats get on! - Duration: 4:53.
hi guys welcome back to Relax my cat my name is Savannah and here with me is
Mia and today's video meant that Maya had to go and see her grandbabies and
absolutely hated it so with that said this week's video is what did you if
your cats don't get along it's super warm in this apartment so I'm not going
to make you sit with me under these lights at the moment but she will pop in
from time to time yeah good girl unhand me okay so as I said Maya had to take a
trip back to her home where she used to live where her two grand kittens live at
the moment this is Loki and Luna now Maya is a solitary cat and she doesn't
really get on with other animals so if you have cats that aren't bonding or if
you have a cat that you think is a solitary cat and they're thinking about
getting and never it's probably not worth it if you think that your cat is
not gonna bond with them personally I would love another cat that I think that
Maya's quality of life would decrease and for me that is just not worth it
but if you do think there's a chance that your cats will bond or if you're
bonding cats that you already have stay with me when they do when I say as well
is capped being civil is actually a really good thing I know you see on the
internet a lot of cats being all snuggly and close and nice with each other and
that can happen but with some cats and if not with most cats their way of
getting on is just being civil they'll sit in the same room but they're not
going to be like this okay so the first tip I would say for trying to get your
cats bonding process moving along is catnip it's surprisingly easy and has
actually surprisingly good effect just spray it both the cats with the dekap
net or sprinkle some on the ground in a communal area for them both to go and
sniff and play around with and you'll notice they're both too happy to like
bother about fighting with each other there are some rules for this though if
your cat is too old or possibly too young cat
it may not affect them though if your cats are affected and they're okay in
the same space of each other while catnip is there try to do this maybe
once or twice a week and just help them get used to each other I wouldn't say do
it any more than that because it can be quite a lot and the main thing about
bonding cats is you do not want to force it this one is a good one it's sharing
brushes because scent is such a massive thing to cats if you share your cat's
brushes they get used to each other scent and their each of the scent being
on them but it's very important I think especially with ones in any animals
actually is to pay attention to your pet pay attention to your cat and make sure
that they are happy in this situation that nothing you're doing is aggravatin
them or upsetting them but if your cat is fine with being brushed with the same
brush as another cat perfect to keep that up definitely don't over brush your
cats but do brush them with the same things and use the same toys that way
they'll get used to each other son and that can break huge boundaries so really
good point that I mentioned about the forcing I'd say definitely don't force
anything when it comes to bonding you can push it in the wrong way and cats
relationships are quite unusual and they have a hierarchy and it can change and
sometimes they will be best of friends Loki and Luna with best friends when
they grew up they were from the same litter and then as they started putting
together like some kind of powers and who was top cat and they fell out and
have just kind of been civil with each other ever since so power shifts and
just situations and just cat life cycles can make relationships change and as
long as your cats aren't fighting fighting I don't think there's anything
to be worried about they said before most cats are born by themselves if
they're going to bond but helping them along with these kinds of little tricks
and can be a good thing too so that's it for this video I hope it was helpful
as always we have a t-shirt winner t-shirt winner to announce so I'll do

(Fluid269) The colors fade with the hair dryer - Duration: 7:41.
Hello everybody
I have a cancas here 30 x 30 cm
I have white here
A lot of white
have here
Carmine Red and Cobold Blue
do this now
Silicone 100 pure
where the viscosity is very thin
I make three drops
something like that. That's so thin
does not always work
but fits
ok
what I have in mind
I want to make a white background
make the color on the edge and then fade in
then we'll see what comes out
as long as I stir now
mix this silicone
can you see my intro and then it starts
Then let's start
little tip. Makes the color a little thinner for this technique
there is blue pure dripped. Why this?
This is not good
I still have white left
I'll probably need something later
So in white, there is no silicone in it
there is also a stain in it, funny
now I have a white layer
I still have air bubbles in it. But no matter.
fange hgier an der Kante an mit etwas
Blue
something red
mix that
and than
I take a normal one
Hairdryer. No hot air gun
because he is too hot
Otherwise, the paint dries while running
Do something white now
so it is not as dark
and again some color
pale not so strong
ok, but better
so
and we already have a nice negative space
I came in blue again
I heat this up again briefly
then we have a nice structure
I will do some red here
you see the longer you do the more the white comes up
but do not overheat
This white is still running after something together
I think it's cool as Negative Space
ok
are not round cells though
but a squishy structure
between white, blue and red
I think it's really cool
ok
maybe as inspiration for you
something else to try
it will still diverge.
so I let it work for ten minutes
then we will look at it from close
OK see you soon
so friends I'm back. Now I show it from close
So I think it's awesome
I must say
actually nothing to do with cells
but through this whole structure
see it as abstract, as negative space
What ever
I just like it
I hope you too
Now let's look at it
I'm curious what it looks like when it's dry
Here it still runs and forms cells
Now we look at the outer area
that's the rest of the picture
I think it's really cool
I would not have needed to go that far out
because it is still outside
but is cool
ok
I really like it
I hope you too
just something else again
not just cells
and then that was mine
then I wish you something
Until next time. Happy to subscribe who does not have
costs nothing
so you do not miss any novelties
have a nice day
bye, bye
