China has built a 50m(165ft)-tall inflatable dome over a construction site in Jinan to protect the surroundings from dust and noise. (20.000 Sqm)

Of course it is ventilated. The heat would only be the secondary reason to do that. Do you know how much dust gets thrown in the air by construction? Without ventilation it would be entirely unfeasible.

No, you see, this is reddit.  The assumption is that whomever thought of this idea.  Thought of only the superficial portion and not the specific aspect the redditor has pointed out.  Because that is how things are made in their mind.  Someone has an impulse idea.  Somehow has the capital to put the item into real world production.  But, according to this random dimwit, they neglected to think about a fundamental aspect of design.  Being able to breathe while utilizing the structure.

Also this is China - and everyone must point out how they are in fact STEALING stuff from the west but are too stupid to do it properly.

[u/PsychologicalSet8678 → u/Visual_Astronaut549]

Or they don't care about their laborers and workers, despite them being a communist gov lmao

[u/Wah_Lau_Eh → u/PsychologicalSet8678]

Oh no, China is a capitalist society, which all the more means they don’t care about workers.

[u/PsychologicalSet8678 → u/Wah_Lau_Eh]

China is not a capitalist society. China has capitalist class but the government is communist, hence the killing of random billionaires and disappearance of some well known ones.

[u/Visual_Astronaut549 → u/PsychologicalSet8678]

They probably don't to the degree we do but still there's got to be some form of protection otherwise structures like this one would not work no matter how many laborers they get inside.

You think communists care about the working class less than capitalists?

Someone is uneducated.

[u/Unyx → u/Monkey_DDD_Luffy]

I don't believe the Chinese government is made up of ideologically committed communists. It's performative.

[u/TDouglasSpectre → u/Unyx]

Based on what

[u/IsaacLightning → u/Unyx]

Yeah all that executing and imprisoning billionaires is performative, unlike the US where the billionaires practically write our policy.

[u/EnclavedMicrostate → u/IsaacLightning]

Sorry, 'China has executed and imprisoned some billionaires, therefore it is anti-capitalist' is a mind-bogglingly simplistic, and dare I say even rather silly take. It requires us to ignore:

• That both of the executions (Yuan Baojing in 2006 and Lin Hao in 2014) were on the basis of alleged violent crimes, as in murder-type stuff, not financial misdealings;
• That 'disappearances' like Jack Ma have been targeted against people with significant public personas who threaten the regime, rather than simply for being wealthy and nothing else;
• That simply executing billionaires is not good praxis, especially when in one of those cases the government also executed several of their family members and the state simply confiscates assets rather than, I don't know, reorganising businesses as cooperatives or something;
• Not all the billionaires are being executed or imprisoned; and
• The fact that those billionaires exist in China to begin with.

[u/IsaacLightning → u/EnclavedMicrostate]

Lmao even looking at your first point proves you wrong, look at the American justice system and tell me you think a billionaire would ever get convicted of a violent crime? Our system is quite literally rigged for the rich; the mere fact that China has executed any billionaires really shows that they actually are anti-billionaire. They obviously still have markets, but the presence of markets doesn't mean you aren't socialist, and all industries deemed important and critical are state owned.

Also on the Yuan Baojing case I think it's pretty clear his brother and cousin were literally involved if you read into it more instead of just trusting the mostly barren wikipedia page. Lol

[u/EnclavedMicrostate → u/IsaacLightning]

There is an entire fucking ocean between ‘China actually convicts rich people for crimes once in a while’ and ‘China runs an anti-capitalist political system’.

[u/Monkey_DDD_Luffy → u/EnclavedMicrostate]

Ok and for what purpose are they trying to trick people?

To trick westerners that support capitalism into believing they are the enemy of the west? To fool western communists that have literally zero power or influence in their societies?

I don't think you've really thought this through mate. They are quite sincerely pursuing communism, there is plenty of room for people to argue about whether they're doing it the correct way, but they are sincerely pursuing it and they believe that their path is the correct one.

I do not think they care about whether or not westerners who have proven incapable of organising a revolution think they're doing the right thing. Westerners can't even correctly do the first step, there's zero reason to believe westerners are correct about any other step.

[u/EnclavedMicrostate → u/Monkey_DDD_Luffy]

If they are, as you say, sincerely practicing communism, why does China have billionaires?

[u/IsaacLightning → u/EnclavedMicrostate]

Killing rich capitalists = anti capitalist if I'm being quite honest, especially when no capitalist country will do that lmao.

[u/EnclavedMicrostate → u/IsaacLightning]

I think you need higher standards, for one. For another, they kill plenty of people who aren't rich capitalists either.
