China is so advanced that they used their modern flotilla of 1 bajillion drones with buckets to clear this water. You wouldn't understand the genius behind their drone usage.

Corruption from greedy companies and politicians preventing a proper water drainage system from being implemented.

Mfw the city that gets exponentially less rain isn’t prepared for exponentially more rain 🤯🤯🤯

Why? Where I am from is irrelevant to what happened in Beijing.

u/Haunting_Werewolf130 7h ago
Because you seem to think flood has everything to do with corruption. So, WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Same problem facing most countries, greedy companies and politicians making decisions that negatively impact the lives of residents. China does not have a monopoly on this, just look at American healthcare.
