       I like it, but I would not call it "nature's nest". On the
       contrary, I would say living like this is unnatural, as it is
       unlikely to lead to competitive advantage in reproduction.
       Also, Guilin is in Guangxi Province:

       This fits our theory of southern superiority:

       Also styrofoam:
       [quote]Security Secretary Chris Tang says they discovered
       "exterior netting, tarpaulin and plastic sheeting that burned
       far more intensely than permitted materials" as well as
       styrofoam stuck to window frames.
       Fire Services Director Andy Yeung said the styrofoam panels were
       blocking ventilation gaps and were extremely flammable,
       prompting police to investigate whether criminal activity was
       involved.
       He said the material would have caused the fire to spread more
       quickly within the blocks themselves, spreading from flat to
       flat through the corridors.[/quote]

       [quote]In the 1940s, researchers, originally at Dow's Chemical
       Physics Lab, led by Ray McIntire, found a way to make foamed
       polystyrene. They rediscovered a method first used by Swedish
       inventor Carl Georg Munters[/quote]
       In other words, organic chemistry (ie. Western civilization) is
       the problem, not bamboo.
       Woke comments:
       [quote]Bamboo is used as a cooking vessel. We stuff it with
       sticky rice and put it in a open fire. It chars not burn[/quote]
       [quote]I got skeptical when they say the bamboos caused the
       fire. You can actually cook rice using the bamboo on an open
       fire. There are plenty of videos about them.[/quote]
       [quote]this is correct. Theyre trying to blame it on bamboo but
       bamboo is actually fine... sad to see another one of hongkongs
       iconic things taken away.. and by CCP which is even
       worse[/quote]
       [quote]Bamboo is hard to burn because of its innate water
       content. Also smooth surface[/quote]
       [quote]I don’t think I’ve ever seen bamboo actually burning
       ever.[/quote]
       [quote]Yeah Bamboo isn't that easy to set of fire, especially
       compared to that net.[/quote]
       [quote]I agree bamboo scaffolding probably wasn't the fuel
       source. The green netting burnt from the bottom of the
       scaffolding to the top.[/quote]
       [quote]100% the netting..[/quote]
       [quote]And styrofoam to cover the windows.[/quote]
       [quote]Bamboo alone wasn't responsible as the petroleum based
       plastics acted as accelerant[/quote]

       How architecturally colonized is "New China"? Today we will look
       at Gulangyu:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulangyu
       [quote]Gulangyu International Settlement
       For a time, Gulangyu was the only international settlement on
       Chinese soil apart from the International Settlement at
       Shanghai.
       Soon after Xiamen became a treaty port resulting from China's
       loss in the First Opium War and the Treaty of Nanking in 1842,
       foreign residents on the island established an informal
       organization that became formally organized several decades
       later
       ...
       The consulates, churches, hospitals, schools, police stations,
       etc. built by those foreign communities explain the
       predominantly Victorian-era style architecture that can still be
       seen throughout Gulangyu.
       ...
       As a place of residence for Westerners during Xiamen's colonial
       past, Gulangyu is famous for its architecture[/quote]

       And we have present-day neocolonialist "whites" (with zero guilt
       obviously) still making money off Gulangyu by YouTubing about
       the buildings that their tribe built:

       If I were in charge, all Western architecture here would be
       demolished. But it's not just that in reality it has not been
       demolished. It is worse:
       [quote]Gulangyu Island was named the most beautiful district of
       China by Chinese National Geography magazine.[19][/quote]
