If it was up to the Chinese organizers, this driver would be dead.
This video is about a GT series race in Shanghai, China, this past weekend. For those like me who did not know, GT racing looks very much like Formula One. Though Gemini tells me it is not quite as fast. But even if you are not a fan of this sport, you must watch this video. It is about Chinese culture more than car racing.
What is so important about this race situation is that, as an international event, the Chinese cannot hide or cover-up what happened. So it offers a real time window into Chinese shortcut culture.
You cannot even walk down a sidewalk in China without worrying that you are going to die in a sinkhole or the building facade next to you is going to collapse or they added arsenic to your food as a preservative.
Without a doubt, this is what happened at the Wuhan lab. Just imagine their hospitals, their nuclear plants, their aviation system, railroads, etc. The Three Gorges Dam. Can you just imagine these clowns in a war?
If the West would just stop supporting China, the country would collapse based on its own incompetence and failed leadership. Stop investing in the country, stop buying their products, and do not even visit the place. If your sport holds an event in China, that would make an excellent week to take off. If you are involved in any auto racing, why would you ever consider going to China?
If you are involved in any activity that relies on the Chinese government or other institution for safety, why would you take such a risk? Of course this means any activity whatsoever in China. Any transportation, any food, any healthcare, etc. That hotel your event booked? Might be very pretty, but it is not built to proper building code standards. They even have a term for it, tofu-dreg construction.
No one needs China; it is China that needs us.
The whole country is a scam.
