Given half the references are from the same people that said a gang leader was called barbeque because he was a cannibal instead of the actual reason, I’m going to suggest there might be a bit of a propaganda problem going on there.
The gangs formed due to foreign invasion and an illegitimate state seizing power. They aren’t some separate group from the people, they are the people that should decide what state they have. The primary victims of the largest gang, for instance, were politicians and un ‘workers’, the latter of which regularly were caught raping women and children.
The gangs are the security. Against actual evil. These aren’t international cartel members or gun runners or even drug dealers. They’re resistance to occupation.
Maybe, you know, the foreign troops trying to revive a us puppet state that was deeply unpopular with the people is the cause of violence.

And a load of cars is far less heavy and less dynamically loaded than say, a crane. Or a group of construction equipment.
Again, if this worked, any single barge in existence would work better. A Wylie e coyote bridge made of hundreds of barges is too ridiculous even for the most westoid brain version of China. This is ‘dem Chinese eat Muslim babies to take our jobs’ level of silly.
Something heavy, slow, tread based, with easily controlled variable weight, that’s cheap enough to replace if anything goes wrong and something that’s been rendered useless on modern battlefields so has no further original use?
I wonder why they would use that to test barges that are far more valuable as overwater construction and resupply; rather than the absolutely silly idea of static targets for artillery, which is their only actual military function.
I mean I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. How do you people think this would function as a ‘war bridge’? You’d need hundreds. If one can touch shore then just use a normal barge, not this Wylie e coyote nonsense. If one can’t touch the shore, a hundred of them in an in movable chain that takes hours to align won’t be able to.
He’s insane. See being insane like this isn’t just holding a belief radically different from commonly accepted knowledge, but failing to provide proof or evidence that can be independently verified.
If he could provide proof, even bad proof, it’d be fine. But since he couldn’t even understand why a side character would get paid less than the leading role and fumbled the marvel bag so hard it’s unlikely he’d ever be able to provide proof.
China builds some cool infrastructure/construction tools
The West: Them Chinese are go’n take our chip fabs and war with the world
Listen, not all nazi soldiers were particularly bad. I’m sure a chef in the rear guard probably did not do a single war crime. But when the SS existed we know that the chef isn’t what most people refer to when discussing war crimes of the era.
Its the same in this era. Sure, there are bad guys all over the place, but compare to the US there’s really only a handful of entities in the post WWII era that could be equals, and none more evil.
