China in Focus (May 19): Southern China Skyscraper Spotted Shaking: Video
NTD ^ | May 19, 2001 | Tiffany Meier

A high-rise sends residents and bystanders packing after it begins shaking and swaying without cause. No earthquakes or strong winds are reported in the region. But a 20-year-old research report might hold the answer.

Apple plans to store its Chinese customers’ data inside China and is handing over the keys to a state-owned company. But Apple claims the information will still be safe.

What does Apple have to do with this shaky building?

Upon checking, I find that all you do is post and run.

Actually, the poster didn’t do anything wrong, the source is the cause.

Poster did a poor job.

If you watch the actual report at the source, the shaking of the building is reported on at more length.

What’s posted here are only the introductory highlights of a general news story.

(That said, why would anybody choose to live in a building like that?)

That article reads like a random paragraph generator.

It’s China. Who says they have a choice.

Yong is our resident Epoch Times poster. They are the most stridently and persistent anti-Chi-Com group on the planet. Falun Gongers, who have earned their stripes.

So, we may wish to give the poor soul who is doing his or her best some slack. They’re fighting the damnable commies literally to the death on many fronts.

“I am Yong!”

My point.

I wouldn’t even want to live in NYC, in Trump Tower or the like.

Beehives are for bees.

The building might lack a proper tuned mass damper. Without it, just the right, or wrong, wind could begin to create ever increasing swaying.

Think of pushing on a swing with your hand. If you apply even a light push at the right time, you can force the swing to go higher and higher. The wind, even a light wind, could produce the same effect in the right circumstance.

Yes. He’s likely a lowly volunteer in their online anti-Chi-Com army. His english may be limited. He’s got to post hundreds of articles thousands of places to maximize their message. Dirty job, but it is undermining Xi.

The Epoch Times printing presses were busted up in Hong Kong about a week ago. One of their reporters was attacked with a baseball bat in the streets. Live organ harvesting unsedated and until dead is well documented. Xi will literally murder these people in the. streets if found.

Cut ‘em some slack. They’re trying to survive, and the information battlefield is where Yong is assigned.

That’s an educated guess.

Cause: Made in China. Just like the Wuhan Flu virus upgrades.
