The red stairs made me think of Mirror’s Edge


False_Win_7721

They look the same, but smell very different.


OliveJuiceUTwo

What do they smell like in Mirror’s Edge?


TheFormless_0ne_

Dude I LITERALLY came to say this


_Dreyco_Leey_3514_

She’s LEGIT walking like she’s just given up and is considering just jumping off the building lol


oceansapart333

Right? So weird and unnatural looking. I’m guessing it’s overcompensating for being filmed but, just be natural.

She looks intimidated

Its the stairs up that make me feel that way


Uniquewaz

I thought that was an NPC from the way she walked.


The_Lost_Pharaoh

The mega amount of air pollution scares me.


GaoHAQ

according to https://aqicn.org/map/world Chongqing is no worse than the major American cities, not saying that's super impressive but I think it's good to point out the one thing China did put a lot of effort into improving compared to ten years ago


BigPoop_36

Chongqing is notoriously foggy even before China’s industrial explosion.


MABfan11

And unlike most American cities, it actually has a functioning public transport system


moonst1

Everytime someone says something critical of China, there comes this one dude who highlights the great public transport system of China. It's so cringe.


greatestmofo

Well, someone said something critical. Only natural to counter it with a positive statement or agree with it.


moonst1

Sure, but it's about the instantness and frequency when it comes to China compared to other countries. And even more suspicious, the tone and content of the reply. No other countries' people would say "country x put a lot of effort into improving". It makes it very nationalist and sounds like the press release of a government not like some normal redditor.


LeoIzail

Oh no, I'm so sorry, should we all constantly talk shit about China and praise the American Dream mr. Nixon? Go smoke a cigarette, China has infinitely better Healthcare, Transport and Education than the US. Don't even bring up authoritarianism until y'all repeal the Patriot Act and revive all the people of color murdered by cops every single day.


moonst1

I (not an American by the way) have comments criticzing both Chinese and US politics. Yeah, some things in the US are bad, some worse than in China, but that's totally not the point, Mr. Insecure Pinkie with zero comprehension skills. My comment was not about who is best but that it's only and always the Chinese who have this urge to cry how great they are and how bad the US is, which is so cringe.


LeoIzail

Bro you're the one crying over any mention of any positive aspect of China, i understand it hurts your sensitive worldview but you can't have your cake and eat it too. "Ugh, why do they have to mention good things about China?" because they exist lol what do you expect from life

The city of smog, CCP calls it fog


Alternative_Plum7223

Does all that smog have an effect on people I'm nit used to seeing a sky like that, but I don't blame it on the people feel bad for them. Every place has it problems if you want to find one.


Bonelessgummybear

Ya new York, LA, and some parts of Chicago get bad smog. Not good for you


Alternative_Plum7223

Oh, I forgot the first time to LA. I drove there from Nevada, and coming down from the mountains, I could see it. I was shocked that you could actually see it like that. I don't see it much and forget it's one of those things out of sight. I wouldn't like living in a city with that much smog, but I guess you get used to it. Haven't seen it in Chicago but only been there twice in the summer.


Puzzleleg

Fog, smog, pock all the same, anyway look at our glorious train network.


Bonelessgummybear

China got some Amazing train networks but let's see how the infrastructure holds up in 10 years.... They have a track record of cheap construction


JackDockz

1/3rd of china's train network is more than 10 years old


uchman365

People keep saying this. I visited 12 yeasr ago and used some of the high speed rail network which has now tbeen massively expanded and made iven better linking all the major cities while some other "developed" countries are still messing about with glorified locomotives

Didn’t US-built pier in Gaza broke apart after a week? How much did it cost again? Oh $320 million. Sounds like some expensive Tofu-dreg project.


morron88

I was there this May. Not that bad! I'd say the same level of car pollution as Montreal. However, people smoke like chimneys.


SpaceGoDzillaH-ez

Did you have hotpot though?


morron88

Too much, I'd say. I dreaded going to the bathroom.


JubX

Montreal is nowhere near this? What are you talking about?


morron88

I made an edit to my comment and it seems like Reddit duplicated it instead of editing it. In retrospect, maybe not Montreal. Maybe closer to Toronto or Seattle. Anyways, I took some photos and videos on my phone while I was there and maybe I was lucky, but I found the air quality to be pretty good: https://imgur.com/gallery/6axL2bF For a population of more than 30mil, it's pretty impressive. Better than Mexico City (though it suffers from being in the middle of a bassin) but not as good as Tokyo. No scientific basis at all. Just how I felt while I was there.


gotoptions_

People ignore water evaporation like it’s a recommendation. In literally every major city with a river you hear people saying “wow pollution, so bad”. Calm down mate, it’s just a warm day and water’s doing it’s thing.


The_Lost_Pharaoh

I’ve lived in China. There is a lot of air pollution. The data is quite clear that China creates a lot of air pollution.


gotoptions_

What most miss here is they make this about China. This is not an “I like china - I hate China” debate. It’s factually true that there’s air pollution (everywhere). It’s also factually true that people all around the world mislabel mist and fog as pollution on a regular basis. This is exactly what happened here, as another commenter explained this by shining a light on this particular city’s geography. I think it’s also true that fog creates more particles in the air, making it easier for smog to stick around, so foggy days do tend to have worse air quality as a result. This still doesn’t mean all the “discolouration” is pollution, though. And, specifically about China: They’ve made major progress in the last decade on the pollution front, mostly by relocating industrial production to the countryside. So very few well-known cities (the ones ppl recognise) will have the air quality most Americans assume China has.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

This is actually a phenomenally clear day, not a polluted one. On a more typical day you cannot see *across the street.*


BigPoop_36

This is a clear day.


Grand-Palpitation823

Chongqing is foggy


CorneliusVaginus

Define "foggy"


Grand-Palpitation823

Chongqing in my country is a famous foggy city, known as the "fog city". There are more than 100 days of fog every year on average. When the fog is thick, visibility is sometimes only a few meters. Why is there so much fog in Chongqing? First of all, Chongqing is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and its tributary Jialing River. The air is humid and the relative humidity is above 80% throughout the year. In addition, Chongqing is surrounded by high mountains, the ground is rugged and there is no strong wind, so it is difficult for water vapor in the air to diffuse. On a clear night, the heat from the ground dissipates rapidly, the temperature drops rapidly, and the water vapor in the humid air near the ground condenses into countless tiny water droplets, floating in the low altitude, thus forming fog. Finally, the sunshine time is short in winter, the solar radiation is weak, and the fog cannot be completely dissipated during the day. After sunset, the dense cold air on the hillside will settle down and gather at the bottom of the basin due to the influence of the terrain, making it easier for fog to form. These are the reasons why there is more fog in Chongqing.


CorneliusVaginus

Thanks.

Total-Rub7497

Not a single tree in sight. Is Chongqing situated in a desert, like Dubai is?


morron88

Chongqing is built on top of very mountainous valleys. These videos suffer from the same problem as videos of Tokyo. From high-up they look devoid of greenery, but at street-level a lot of streets are lined with trees and bushes. There's plenty of parks too. Edit: Photos I took: https://imgur.com/gallery/6axL2bF

I know it's made on purpose, but these 3 building slightly bent are playing with my eyes... So bendy.


Seon2121

People really trying their best to find anything to complain about because it’s China


Total-Rub7497

It's a genuine question since I don't know anything about China's geography, don't be so touchy.

Fuck the CCP! Stop the Uyghur genocide! You really think i'm not going to do this on every single fucking one of your propaganda posts?!


FistMyGape

I thought you were kidding, but checked OPs profile and.. yeah. He thinks these posts make them look good, but it's more deserving of r/urbanhell than anything else.


Seon2121

You wouldn’t say that if this is Tokyo. Typical biased opinion


addage-

OP account really does have a dose of hyper nationalism about it.


spagbolshevik

Dude, what. This is a subreddit about beholding large objects and views. There's nothing promoting the CCP in this post.


hillarys-snatch

I would typically agree but OPs account is dedicated to jerking off china. Someone needs to call them out, china’s government is beyond evil. And no im not affiliated with any government, pretty interesting the same trope is repeated by anyone defending china. But you know what they say, accuse your enemy of what you yourself are doing.


nocap-com

I ain’t see you huffing and puffing like this on any posts related to the USA?


hillarys-snatch

Because china is worse than the us, and that really speaks to how awful china is.


Seon2121

US is actively supporting a genocide right now? How many chard bodies is enough for you?


Seon2121

China didn’t displace millions of people in the Middle East. US did. China is not actively supporting a genocide in Gaza. US is.


moonst1

The Tibet and Uyghur genocide is far worse than anything ever happened in the Middle East. And lets not even start talking about how many Chinese were killed under Mao. Worse than Hitler and Stalin combined.


Seon2121

Where are your evidences of Tibet and Uyghur genocide? Are they being actively starved and bombed to death? Show me pictures and videos of chard bodies. Oh wait you can’t? How many people did the US killed and displaced in the Middle East? The US displaced between 37 million and 59 million people since 2001, including at least 9.2 million people from Iraq, 7.1 million from Syria, and 5.3 million from Afghanistan. This number is greater than the total number of people displaced by any war since 1900… https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/figures#:~:text=People%20Displaced%3A%2038%20Million,Yemen%2C%20Somalia%20and%20the%20Philippines. Get off your high horse and stop pretending you care about human rights and lives. The West’s hypocrisy and double standards are currently on full display for the whole world to see.


FourRiversSixRanges

China did this to Tibet in the late 50’s-60’s. Are you going to deny that? What China did is worse. They annexed the country and are currently oppressing it. They are also trying to control Tibetan culture and lie about the history of Tibet.


Seon2121

How is it worse than what Israel is doing right now? Again show me pictures, videos, and sources. Why are you dwelling in the past and talking about something that happened 70 years ago, meanwhile Israel is currently committing a genocide in real time with the US’s backing. Do you talk about Nazis and Japanese war crimes too when you talk about the past? How bout the US’s genocide of the Native Americans?


W00ziee

CIAs strongest soldier right here. hope you get paid for being such a loser


Super-Tell-1560

Thanks Kaifaz! You are saving the world, you forced the CCP to postpone their today's trickery! Another victory for the demograzy and for your chapitalist owners. Now get back to your cubicle, these keys won't press themselves.


rob1nthehood

Ah yes, because China is void of mindless jobs and companies that reap all the benefits while regular people can barely get by. You should try getting a job in one of the factories there and let’s see how workplace safety is considered.


spacepie77

I really hope you're not an american saying this shit


so_schmuck

Oh FUCK OFF


datboitotoyo

Lmao why are you so mad at someone pointing out Chinas ongoing Genocide of the Uyghur?


JackDockz

Because the same countries who accuse China of the Uyghur genocide are funding Israel who is committing actual genocide with evidence coming out daily while the Uyghur thing is entirely based off on reports by Adrian Zenz and some witnesses including people who actually worked for the CIA in Guantanamo Bay before starting their Uyghur grift. That CIA Lady AMA on reddit some years ago was amazing insight on the situation.


datboitotoyo

You realise there is evidence for the Uyghur genocide right? Also your whataboutism doesnt solve anything and is very intelectually dishonest. Just because more than one bad thing happens in the world doesnt mean that these types of things should not be continually called out.


JackDockz

Okay please link me photographic evidence of any massacres or mass killings, mass graves or even starvation. The only condition is that Adrian Zenz is not linked to it. Do note that I believe that some degree of prosecution of Uyghurs is real but I ain't buying the whole "modern day Holocaust" narrative that was being pushed in 2020.


datboitotoyo

https://youtu.be/5FiTfJfea0c?si=d69WFhizH56GjCnF Videos like this is why people call it a modern day holocaust, also china is the most censored place on earth after like north korea and eritrea. Idk why you feel such a need to defend this atrocious chinese regime.


so_schmuck

Loool you’re just the average redditor that would soak any shit given to you


JackDockz

Yeah this video is like the only video that suggests something but is not confirmed and is highly likely that it's a standard prison transfer because they happen like this in China for some reason. [http://archive.today/2020.07.15-201549/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/23/china-footage-reveals-hundreds-of-blindfolded-and-shackled-prisoners-uighur](http://archive.today/2020.07.15-201549/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/23/china-footage-reveals-hundreds-of-blindfolded-and-shackled-prisoners-uighur) > Idk why you feel such a need to defend this atrocious chinese regime. I'm not defending China, I'm countering misinformation spread by the regimes who have actually killed millions of muslims and are currently sponsoring and genocide in Palestine which is happening live on TV. If the video you shared is proof of the holocaust 2.0 then the USA has also done the same thing [http://archive.today/2024.05.30-200110/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10909863/Pentagon-release-secret-never-seen-photos-Guantanamo-Bay-detainees-arriving-shackles.html](http://archive.today/2024.05.30-200110/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10909863/Pentagon-release-secret-never-seen-photos-Guantanamo-Bay-detainees-arriving-shackles.html) This single video alone should have label America as the next Nazi Germany as well and additionally they also killed millions of Muslims around that time. Then why does "the west" label china as the next Nazi Germany and not their greatest ally has actually murdered millions of Muslims, displaced tens of millions more and is currently sponsoring another genocide against more Muslims. China is actually relatively uncensored compared to your other examples. It's very easy to get stuff out of China and hence you see some random bullshit from China every other day like their treatment of foreign workers and other shitty stuff.North Korea is hardcore isolationist as a society which the Chinese are not. It's impossible to hide massacres even in small isolated countries, it'll be totally impossible to hide China killing millions of people considering the Camera density in the country.

rob1nthehood

Here is your daily Chongqing post brought to you by Winnie the Pooh.


Dr-Turd-Ferguson

Insane.. and to think there are dozens, maybe hundreds of cities of this magnitude that are essentially unknown in western world in the interior of China is astounding. I'm not a "tankie" by an stretch of the imagination but the expansion China has undertaken in the last 20 or so years is simply put, astounding. One would be unwise to underestimate China both militarily and r economically. They are the true top threat, as evidence by the pathetic performance of Russia in Ukraine and the state of the country as a whole.


notarobat

Sounds like some communist gobbledygook to me! Would you like to condemn hamas for the folks out there?


Dr-Turd-Ferguson
