Should Europeans Have Ever Given the Chinese Concrete?
I mean, look what they do with it!
And even if there is a nuclear war and everyone was killed, the only thing remaining after a couple of hundred years would be concrete.
They should have been made to stick to paper. At least then we would be able to screw it up and throw it away, or perhaps burn it for luck.

I’m pretty sure concrete was used in the Great Wall. (Not the cars).
I thought the first monsoon and it’ll all wash way?

Had to Google that bad boy, but apparently not ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_rice_mortar

Some stretches have now been cemented/concrete added, but the original seems not.
Reminded me about how even Europeans had forgotten how to make the damn stuff (compared to Roman efforts that still stand). https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/07 ... -millennia

The real question is, should the French ever had invented reinforced concrete?

Great thread title. After watching the video, I have to wonder when they'll turn their attention from the buildings to the muddy, pothole littered streets. What an absolute disaster.

I'm pretty sure the Europeans had nothing to do with it Portland cement is an English persons creation.

Some barangs wish that the Europeans had given all the Chinese concrete shoes.
