Not exactly a breaking news per-se for us laymans/public, but the following could be an interesting scoop if you are involved in the construction profession/sector.

Here's a short analysis Tweet on the Kerch Strait Bridge that suffered a massive explosion, of which several sections of the bridge collapsed yesterday as a result. I'm neither a civil/structure engineer nor an architect, therefore anyone who has better knowledge and technicalities on this subject can add more information or rectify anything if found inaccurate.

Indeed looks like Russians knew the bridge would be attacked and if not, it's still too high risk to devote resource towards. The corrosion question looks like it's design life is shorter than 50 years. You really don't really use this design unless you plan on heavy frequent maintenance or really well galvanised steel components and connections but even then, yeah no.

It seems like it was designed knowing that it's a high risk thing and would either be destroyed, attacked, needs replacement well before service limits. It's like, would you put the best and most expensive knowing there's a high risk it's attacked and/or destroyed or invaded. Maybe they considered those things. They could have thought it more appropriate to replace this temporary thing with a 100 year design once things are stable? and for the time being they went with budget solution which works fine in terms of function and ultimate limits but due to entire structure being exposed steel and a relatively budget approach, it appears "strategically" designed for temporary use if under control and if not, then not much wasted.

I quote a PhD in civil engineering from Tsinghua University, who is now working as chief engineer on a hydroelectric project in Tanzania. It's not that the Russian engineer is so daring, it's that China has its own national conditions. Because of the extreme overloading of trucks, which is common throughout China, it is not uncommon for trucks to be overloaded by four times. That is why Chinese bridges are designed to a very high standard, and even then they are still crushed by overloaded trucks from time to time. Russian bridges, on the contrary, are normal. If you've worked on overseas projects, you'll know this. When you look at the bridges designed by foreign design institutes, they all feel so slender that they wouldn't survive more than 24 hours in China, but they're actually the right ones. It's the Chinese overloaded trucks that are too anti-human and forced.

Also, the article quoted in that tweet is from a man called "Ma Du Gong" who has published that neither China nor Russia have hypersonic weapons, they are fake and only the Americans are equipped with hypersonic weapons.

As well as some accidents about Chinese trucks overloading, such as this 2019 bridge in Wuxi overturned, the investigation showed that at the time of the incident, the vehicle involved, the front trailer actually contained 7 rolls of steel coils, with a total mass of 160.545 tons, exceeding the approved carrying mass by 128.545 tons, overloading by 401.7%. The rear trailer was actually carrying 6 rolls of steel with a total mass of 160.855 tonnes, which was 131.855 tonnes more than the approved load, or 455% more than the approved load. If you have no idea about this weight, imagine them as 3 volumes of 99A tanks being transported by one trailer, and you will understand how outrageous the overloading of Chinese trucks is.

Serpentza to sneak back into China for money? LOL! What kinda career is he gonna find in China this time? Janitor? Bricklayer? He is too infamous in China right now to find a decent job. Not every Chinese knows him today, yes. But word spreads quickly in the Chinese social media space. He'll be doxxed in no time.

Mike Chen? By being a FLG member and activist. He is automatically on the Chinese immigration blacklist. He might as well go to Taiwan instead and leech on DPP blood. Assuming that they have enough blood left to feed him.

Plus if these clowns go to China to seek money. How well would they endear themselves to their China-hater fans? When they come back to the US, would they be safe from their angry ex-fans? Angry ex-fans who could have guns. Who knows?

Idk about Mike Chen but Serpentza was not as negative on China until he got on US state dept payroll. He was still a massive racist and piece of shit (white South African, nuff said) but don't doubt that he can change his tune if it is convenient. That's why these people should be forever blacklisted in China.

It’s ok, these freaks are on borrowed time, just like the rest of these three letter state actor organisations are. If the USA descends into civil war (which is becoming more and more likely given they whole petrol cap debacle with Saudi Arabia cutting the amount of barrels to the EU and USA), these organisations are going to find it very hard to restoring order. The thing with the USA is that it only takes one massive failure to screw then up, just like Serpentza, it takes one missed check to ruin his sorry life and the life of his family as well unfortunately. All we can do is ensure that this trash has no where left to go when the time comes. China is going to have a long list of people to deal with in the future, all of which are part of the same NGO organisations that a lot of people are going to want to deliver the same treatment that the USA does at its black sites and I suspect none of us will feel a thing for once all is said and done

A youtuber who used to live in China. He has some dubious (to vastly understate it) takes on China more recently.

I heard the duo company(i believe som vehicle shop or something) got busted because they were unlicensed.
That's the thing with most westerners they all love you when you're poor and down, but they get anxious when you get richer and start to stand up.

Is that 马督工? Aka 马前卒, his channel is called 睡前消息 on Youtube and Bilibili. I watched a few random episodes commenting on Chinese domestic socio-economic issues and thought he was quite balanced. However, there are supposedly other episodes which ended up as "car crashes" (翻车, Chinese net slang for screw up), which by the context of his videos I take to mean he was less than objective. I don't know which episodes though.

Japanese made this statement. i guess some thing happened with Arab demands that it need diversification.
