The mainland Chinese authorities have outlawed the usage of bamboo scaffoldings 4 years ago, mandating the use of non-combustible steel scaffoldings in building construction/maintenance.
However, Hong Kong choose to not follow.
Actually, I remember seeing a TV program in HK years ago about a study done by one of the universities in HK comparing bamboo scaffolding to steel scaffolding. It basically concluded that bamboo scaffolding if made from bamboo of the right age was actually superior to steel scaffolding since it was lighter, more flexible, higher tensile strength, didn't heat up in the hot sun as much, and far cheaper and faster to construct. It was also more ecologically sustainable since bamboo is biodegradable and very commonplace.
The downside unfortunately was it required workers to be more experienced and skilled in tying up the bamboo to make the scaffolding (a dying industry since fewer and fewer people wanted to do such work) and fire risk.
Of course theres a committee or union for it, and would sponsor those research
I've even seen people claim that the fire was a CPC conspiracy to get Hong Kong to ban the use of bamboo for scaffolding.
This people live in la la land, Is impossible. I would require resources that the US doesn't have and will never have. To make things worst Eurasia is under Russian influence.
I don't think Tibet for India is an issue of izzat since it's never been part of India or any former Indian countries. They dislike China and want to create divisions. Sowing discord using Tibet is a strategy. That's it.
Izzat is more like a personal, factual or quasi factual claim, i.e. prestige. Like if somebody said Taj Mahal isn't Indian because it was built by the Turco-Mongol Mughal invaders from Uzbekistan, then that would be an attack on current India's izzat because of the prestige India has earned from this monument. Another example below:
Because they marketed and associated the Tejas with their domestic self-reliance and superpower ambitions, any development in the Tejas project automatically becomes a matter of Izzat. A fault in the jet lowers izzat + weak character leads to cope (blaming others). This project should have been shelved by the mid-2000's at the latest - it is only alive because of the izzat (honor) they've attached to it. It has no future.
The same way they select grad students? Don't they get resources like lab equipment when selected?
Maybe they know and have found a way to justify it. Some time ago I saw a documentary in which the Japanese said they feared being colonized & exploited like the rest of Asia by European powers, so they became colonizers themselves.
In America, to this day, you will find most people who justify the use of nukes on (Japanese) civilians.
Threat removal is a pretty big gain. The US has done more damage around the world than the Japanese. And it's parent - the British Empire may have been even worse. Dismantling of Japan and US presence there is a huge benefit.
I'm actually quite hoping their tenuous peace process will collapse entirely.
India never had control yes. But the Brits had vassal like control over it and this was done through India. As we know with Jai Hinds despite cursing the British empire, they are happy to claim all it's territory. Add that in with them feeling entitled to any Buddhist country and you will see India feeling real entitled to Tibet.
Unfortunately for them, China has a military and isn't fooled by it's lies.
When India starts crying victim like they did with their south Tibet issue, the proper response is to put your foot down and say no bluntly. Indians either have to use force (and expose themselves) or shut it. Assertiveness is the only way.
