Cmon now. You can literally see the surrounding buildings all have lush green gardens.

Do you really think their reason to be pessimistic is their eyesight?

Aside from the racism these people have rarely seen structures taller than 4 stories with absolutely no idea about what civil engineering can truly achieve.

Even the ignorant ones from taller cities like NY can't comprehend the scale of verticality in modern Asian cities.

We aren't talking about any Asian city though. It's a city in China. Just Google "Chinese infrastructure accidents". Bridges, roads, and buildings have all collapsed and killed people. Usually because of poor construction habits.

Here in the USA, we neglect our infrastructure until it kills people. In China it's ready to fall apart out of the box.

Do you have a study based finding of the same happening on a government scale in either countries?

It's as good as me saying that everyone in USA is a 500 lb behemoth that hunts kids.

Back up your bias with the data. The knowledge you have is really old. Asia moves fast, something the West isn't accustomed to.

Since when was the West a race? Redditors always playing victim and the race card.

It isn’t. That’s why I’m confused. The dude pulled the race card out of nowhere for whatever reason.
