China's ultra fast residence and traffic related building methods

 

In recent years China has developed efficient systems to build residences at an unprecedented ultra high speed, not just ordinary houses with one or two stacked levels, but also high rising, multi story sky scraper buildings. Although there are two primary types of ultra fast construction offered in this article, outside of them there are other Chinese methods of building residences, office facilities, hotels, theatres, stadiums and other types of architecture like bridges, tunnels, train stations and airports etc. that the Chinese build in far less time than anywhere else in the world. I feature a number of such projects on this page, quite randomly here, just to give a glimpse of Chinese speed architecture. The two most remarkable speed construction methods that the Chinese apply are distinguished systems to build at a high velocity:

  1. Modules are built in a factory and assembled in a different location
  2. Houses are built by 3D printing.
The Chinese government has limited the buildings' height because of safety precautions. The buildings all are equipped with electrical- and water supply, plumbing provisions, TV- and Internet connections. All that the new tenants or buyers have to do, is furnish their residences. Building at such a high pace significantly lowers the rent and purchase prices, while occupants do not have to register in excruciating lengthy waiting lists, in which they before their houses are delivered. In all aspects, the types of construction have many advantages over traditional ways of building.


Incredible Chinese speed build architecture



In Changsha, the capital of the Hunan province, a 57 story, completely equipped building was constructed in just 19 days by using the modular building system in which 3 completed stories were added every day. Apart from this incredibly fast construction, this system also significantly reduces environmental pollution, because close to no polluting cement is used in the process in the building location. Before starting the building process, Broad Sustainable Building spent about four and a half months manufacturing the modules, within its factory, that are the 2,736 modules that would be fitted on site. And although, it was not a building erected from scratch in less than a few days or weeks, but rather a quick assembly of ready-made pieces that took months to produce. In spite of that, this construction method is much faster and less costly than the traditional way of building, that is among the lengthiest construction processes, while being an environmentally unfriendly method, while the modularly building system has safety precautions built in, that have the possibility to rapidly improve on what was learned on the foundation of previous building experiences. That means that every new project can be better than the previously built ones by incorporating more efficient safety measures, like earthquake and severe storm resistance. But building, also in the Hunan province, can even be achieved in a still shorter time. The Chinese company built a 10 story appartement facility in just 28 hours and 45 minutes..... Compare that to the very slow and polluting building practices, that have a low pace of improving itself (if at all), that are being practiced in the commercially operating west.

After the devastating Sichuan earthquake in 2008, the Chinese entrepreneur Zhang Yue, owner of an airconditioning manufacturing company, created the modular construction method from prefabricated modules, that are stacked, resembling complicated Lego blocks, to build entire residential facilities. His company, the Broad Sustainable Building (BSB), constructed the above mentioned residences in absolute record time with a system that is capable of improving itself, basically without end. In potential, it is the solution to gradually resolve the widespread housing shortage, provided that corrupt political systems do not stubbornly persist in continuing their useless, ineffective way of governing, ignoring urgent public demand and persisting in the environmental polluting construction methods. While western corporations tend to stick to what was developed decades or even loger ago, to save costs, the Chinese are continuously busy improving themselves, housing 20,000 people at an average of 250 dollars per month rent per unit, while the project contains shops, schools, offices, a subway entrance and swimming pools. This basically is a difficult to ignore harbinger of losing the west's once gained dominance on the global stage for good, since they will only improve if the costs are low or non existing, leaving many people that are looking for proper housing to reside for decades on viscous, long, waiting lists, thereby risking to become too old to comply with conditions to meet the standards for proper housing, because their children have left the house, as is occurring too often.

The property of modular construction allows to quickly build residences that are shaped unlike traditional ways of building. Many types of construction (within certain limits of course) can basically be prepared in the plants'design bureaus, without the usual hassle that in traditional ways of building is unavoidable. It saves time and results in improvements. For example, when curved building (when viewed from above) or buildings with an overhang above roads, parks or waterways are the most efficient and fastest way of construction, such methods can be prepared in the factory before the construction of modules takes off. In other words, the modular way of building is more flexible at less costs than traditional ways of construction. Because modular building can be tailored to distinguished situations or demands with less effort and costs than adjusting building shapes in the traditional way of construction. It means that following projects include improvements based on the construction of previous ones.

A brief, but precise oversight why China performs basically anything with greater speed than the west, which is explained in this video. Nine out of the ten most high leaders in China are engineers that understand projects, while western leaders need consultancies to advice them and lawyers to tailor every aspect pf processes to gain licenses and prevent juridical obstructions. In the US the majority of political leaders are lawyers, in the UK they are lawyers and economists that have no engineering background, which requires them to consult specialists to explain project details and financial budgets to them. In addition China builds supply plants close to the production facilities or in house of those facilities, which means they do not have to wait weeks for advice and parts to arrive. The Chinese do not work harder than westerners - their organisational structure simply is more effective, which results in effective logistics and keeps costs lower. The supply of specialised machinery is centrally directed and structured to furnish all necessary equipment on time for every project. Chinese universities deliver 750,000 engineers every year and focus their classes on how recent projects are carried out. This means that graduates have all the necessary knowledge when they end up in planning and production positions. China leads the world in 37 out of 44 of the world's most critical technical developments, the US only leads in 7 of them in 2026; in a few years China's advantage will tilt more in a direction that increasingly favours their efforts, because their education is directly influenced by information gained from recent projects, that are taught to students. So, lawyers are undeniably outperformed by engineers and an educational system that makes a great effort to remain up to date and applying the acquired knowledge to real world projects in as little time as possible.


China built 20,000 houses in 72 hours in South-Africa



And then there are housing construction projects that are built with 3D printing. In 2024 China built 20,000 houses in South-Africa in just 72 hours. This reveals how fast can be built by using 3D printing techniques to construct residences. It almost sounds incredible but the webpage mentioned above explains how the Chinese accomplished this astonishing result. African workers can now replace their improvised, instable Shanty town homes with well constructed houses close to immediately. The enormous potential of this innovative construction method has been proven to be more than efficient with the extremely rapid completion of this project. The article on this page to which the link leads, is just a tiny collection of examples indicating what the Chinese approach towards the handling of construction projects already is today. And the Chinese have managed to astound the world in the past decade with accomplishing technically revolutionary and innovative construction methods, to which there still is no end. Besides spectacular building projects, China has leapt ahead of the rest of the world in other kinds of projects as well -  the big Chinese cities are all monitored and regulated by advanced AI systems, that include power distribution and traffic regulation automatically. Also the production and innovation of projects advance at an incredible pace, such as solar- and wind energy creation, battery development, high paced computer electronics progress, AI- and quantum computer development, EV production, swiftly advancing thorium based nuclear plant energy production experiments, robotised lunar construction building to explore and mine the moon, reducing extremely difficult desert space, enormous new water ways to supply the dry northern part of China, medical innovations, complex infrastructure speed building trajectories, faster than jet airplanes 1000 kilometres per hour maglev trains and stunning improvements in many more industrial fields. I fear the near future will offer an abundance of projects, that will be worth presenting - if so, I may write articles about them in this blog.

The US empire and Europe are in the morgue


Recent developments have shown that the formerly hegemonic US empire has inflicted detrimental measures on itself, that it will not survive. The boastingly announced and implemented tariffs all have ferociously backfired. Trump’s visit to China has caused him to return to the US entirely emptyhanded, which has only been veiled by the masterful Chinese diplomatic language that they used. The economic war between the US and Canada is slowly but surely turning into the advantage for the latter, because Trump merely expresses empty, but boastful rhetoric while Canadian president Carney is responding in a calm and adequate way, while swiftly taking effective measures against the poorly prepared and astoundingly misplaced American arrogance. In addition the hilarious EU parliament fruitcakes are engagedly paving the way for complete self destruction with an unsurpassed, but difficult to comprehend devotion for sane people.


Chinese flag


The Iran war that the US and Israel started, is disastrous for the instigators, for the US allies and the world as a whole on an economic level, while animosity between other potential adversaries has become extremely dangerous; the insane and evil political clown show in European that rivals the US measure of total mental incompetence, has recently announced that in 2029 or 2030 Europe will start a war with Russia, while it absolutely lacks the money and military force to even kick a dent in a warm package of butter, its economy is on the verge of collapse, its energy supply has been decimated by its 0wn strategy and the resistance of the common European people against that war is increasing every minute. Outside of that Russia has been told to wait patiently until Europe indicates that it has accumulated enough funds and arms to wage a proper war against them..... 


While this ridiculous stance has been expressed, the. UK's premier Keir Starmer has been booted out of office, since his deluge of deceit and utterly oppressive way of governing has given the opposition and the British people more than enough reason to rid themselves of the lying goof. Even king Charles has expressed a rather unusual sigh of relief about Starmer's resignation. French dictator Macron leadership is less solid than a handful of dry sand cast in a raging storm, while German chancellor of Merz is busy digging a grave for himself and his psychopathic politics that is deeper than the Atlantic Ocean's 10.5 kilometres deep Mariana Trench, has persuaded the German voters to kick him out of office by the end of the year elections. Does such a situation feel like a well considered preparation to push Europe into a yet an other war with Russia to anyone?


Meanwhile the unavoidable thought obtrudes itself in the minds of common people why completely brain-dead leadership is rampaging to destroy the scarce good that is left in the world to structurally wage wars, destroy the commoners basic means to live and survive, while even far worse disasters are eagerly waiting to take place as a result of their bonkers leadership. Current rulers appear to be involved in a global concerted effort to whack everything that is good and / or makes existence bearable or survivable. The US once was a safe place to live, protected by two oceans on both sides of the union, allowing it to expand its power by building over 200 military centres all over the world (700 according to professor Richard Wolff in an interview with political analyst professor Glenn Diesen), which allowed the US to forcefully impose its will on countries that did not comply with its rules based order, that was impelled by overt and covert wars to instigate regime change with military force and economic strangulation tactics.


The corrupt political European nutters maintained their affluence (for the rich) by plundering what was left of their suffocating colonial rampage of third world countries, that had eroded significantly in the past decades. Nevertheless, they continued to believe that they still were a global force to be reckoned with, while their power structure crumbled towards non-existence. At the same time outside of the western hemisphere the multipolar BRICS+ alliance was formed, by Brasil, Russia, India, China and South-Africa, that currently controls more than 50% of global trade while the western G7 has collapsed after Trump’s illegal expulsion of Canada, that it will regret more and sooner than words are capable to express. Canada will shut down electrical energy supply to the US and turn off the oil tap, which will be disastrous for the US northern states, in doing so end the US automobile and truck industry by cutting off Canadian vehicle parts supply for which the car production must cross the US Canadian border several times to complete the products, while Canada swiftly reached trade agreements with China and Australia and to a lesser extent with the political European funny farm to replace its economic and military contracts with the US, that the US cancelled.


The global Chinese Belt and Road Initiative corridors


And while the US and Europe are industriously digging their own graves by implementing insane measures across all fields that matter to their economy and waning global power ranking, China has shifted its trade focus from the west to the Asean countries, while they have rapidly created a mutually profitable Belt and Road Initiative corridor that covers a major part of the world, including large parts of the Global South. China builds infrastructure, sea ports, airports, bridges, energy supply plants and more in lesser developed countries and by the way also in Turkey and Southeast Asian countries, while it does not interfere with their political strategy, it just helps to boost their economies, which is the BRICS+ multipolar principle. It of course also creates economic relations that are beneficial to China’s economy, from which ultra fast Chinese innovation and rapid academic progress, that is caused by 10 Chinese universities populating the global academic education ranks (again) according to professor Richard Wolff, who also stated the once renown US MIT (Michigan Institue of Technology) only is in 14th place..... 


Contrary to the centrally ruled Russian mode of government, the Chinese maintain a hybrid - 50 / 50 percent private and government economic structure, that is supervised and often sponsored by the Chinese communist / socialist party. This is the recipe for China's incredibly fast developing industrial and economic progress. The country wide comprehensive and compact logistic supply lines also make it possible to produce at a higher pace, that keeps manufacturing costs low. The Chinese military of course also profits from this strategy, which has led to China become the most powerful global power, that contrary to the US global military strategy only has one military outpost in Djibouti.China's ground forces currently are decreasing, but it works hard to create an army of advanced robots carrying guns and missiles to replenish the reduction of their infantry. It has also built completely unmanned facilities in which China is building many more missiles than any effective human working force could ever accomplish.


All the aspects mentioned in this article indicate that while the west is in rapid decline the BRICS+ alliance expands at great speed allowing China to rigorously shift the world’s power centres away from the previous western dominance, especially since the international trade currency - the US dollar - is in an increasingly steep decline after Iran has shown the entire world that the US and Israeli military powers no longer are untouchable and western economies agonizingly suffer from energy and fertilizer shortage caused by their stridently incompetent political, economic, financial and military structures. Following the unimaginably stupid western strategies in all aforementioned fields, the relocation of world power will shift in a dramatic way, should this world survive the villainous crisis that the witless, nefarious and arrogant western politics has caused.


Rare (particularly in the US) earth minerals


The crux of the matter described above, is that Trump is ordered by his 13 Zionist sponsors, that bought his way into the White House, to obey their buddy Satanyahu, excuse me, Netanyahu, and do whatever it is that he is orders the US to do, no questions asked. That will be difficult because China has put an embargo on exporting rare earth minerals to the US for which all the processing facilities are inside China as well. As a result the depleted US missile stockpile has dried up and can not be updated by the slow production, because it lacks rare earth minerals. The automobile industry will go bankrupt, while transportation by car will become unaffordable for the average person. The poorest, deceived American people are taxed to the edge of starvation, as is the rest of the world that suffers Iran's rightfully selective blockade of the Straight of Hormuz by which the asylum ready European political dimwits will be struck most and consequently the entire European population, that is blocked from energy, rare earth materials and fertilizers, which probably will lead to a famine, since Russia has barred the small part of the Belt and Road Initiative corridor that transverses Russian territory, so that no goods and energy will arrive in Europe. Also the plundered countries of the Global South will be driven to the brink of extinction because of the absolutely insane policies of egotistical western politicians. The ugly face of the satanic 'elite' shows in their utterly iniquitous and unimaginably stupid strategy.


Wishing you all the best, enough water, food and reliable, caring friends in the impending abominable times that unfortunately await us in the near future.
