The latest miracle of China quality construction to have amazed those in China and beyond is the advent of “fake” windows – in fact just black squares painted on the side of a building…
The local government responsible for the fake windows claims they were painted on to the municipal apartments for “aesthetic reasons” because it was too much trouble to put real windows in the building’s stairwells, but were sufficiently embarrassed by being called out on Sina Weibo that they have decreed that contractors should remove them.

Could have been worse: It would have been hard on the tenants if the only doors were just painted on.
It's like a Wily E. Coyote painting.
lmao!! Exactly!
are they also painted on the inside showing a landscape or something?
they don't even line up w/ the real ones,lol
It's the stairwells, not supposed to line up.
In any case, something Sancom quality news omitted:
The original design had windows, but had to be removed in accordance to new building codes. Someone apparently thought the building looked bad without them.
Windows are structural weaknesses. Stairwells need to be the strongest part of a building for emergencies. American apartments built after the 1950s never have stairwell windows for this reason. China updated their building codes to this effect only this year.
also wrong... to a point. New technology have rendered windows more stable and structurally sound than most staircases themselves.
China cheap, lets not try and make excuses
Most staircases I been in never have windows. And I live in the US. I would think windows would make for horrible safety.
Then that is some stupid damned building code. If the building is built PROPERLY, putting windows in a stairwell would do absolutely nothing to make the building stronger nor weaker.
It's not stupid. It's not a structural reason but a fire protection one. Stair cases need to be contained so smoke doesn't get inside while people try to run down them during a fire. Having windows would defeat that.
Wait 'til they discover that the fire exits are painted on as well.
fire exits? pfft.
that would cost too much
the building is made from cardboard
From cheap cardboard.
From exploding cardboard.
I wonder if exploding cardboard is cheaper than regular cardboard.
From ch--- ahhh--- fuck you, It already exploded.
From cheap, exploding cardboard.
Japanese SB
Ха-Ха-Ха! А в России и Казахстане поддельные дороги есть!
They didn't need a window anyway, or maybe they're trying to be a North Korean, where a building looks good from the outside, but empty and terrible inside :D
Stop don't let them remove them, put Leroy was here, with a set of eyes and have other ones with anime like characters looking out the window picture and some hologram like eyes that follow passerbys to make them look where they are walking.
Why the fuck China still exist?
'Cause Spanierds are still a bit costy as workforce. Soon that will change and China will dissapear.
Seems rather harsh to call 'em fake windows. It's obviously they were placed for aesthetics's.
Why? Ain't cheap to paint those fake windows too.
They don't look very convincing from any distance. The building would better without them IMO.
Did they really think no one would notice? And these guys run the most powerful country in the world? This does not bode well.
"And these guys run the most powerful country in the world?"
That's fake as well.
Actually the third most powerful country.
The US is still the most powerful country and is still equal to the next two most powerful countries combined.
But still they're number three yet act like they're number 52.
country by GDP by PPP would disagree
Anyway it has between 50-75% of America's GDP and 4.25 times more people, and there are trailer parks in America, at least this is an exception in China, don't expect too much from humanity.
I'd rather live in a trailer park instead of that building.
I dunno, I lived in one of those simple cheap apartments in Japan for some months and it was nice. I don't think you would have an ofuro bath in a trailer.
A new trailer in the US is nicer then 95% of the houses and apartments in China.
It's also ironically nicer then many homes in Japan.
See in the US even a crappy mobile home has a proper HVAC system and a centralized hot water heater.
Need to make it warmer or cooler inside just change the thermostat and thats it.
America owes China billion of dollars, so practically America is just China's bitch. They should have learn from this respectful China men how to do business. Peace
Chinese businesses owe US companies more, apparently
>peace?
>what?
are those walls made of cardboard as well? O_O
Not in this case, but a good response to fake windows is that the concrete of the building is already weak, and windows further weaken the structure ..
Why not replace them with solar panels for lighting and would be a good economy in the condominium ...
There at least the value of the panels should be pretty cheap ..
Nah, just rubbish. Or maybe rubbish cardboard?
Actually it's VERY probably that they made it out of rubbish.
oh I hate those ingame..
well, the good thing that comes out of it...is you can jack off full naked all you want and no one will ever see you
so you jack off on the stairwells? mmm..
ive done lots of things on the stairwells. shitted there b4, jacked off, had sex, got wasted. yea wonderful stairwells.
Damn, just damn!
A room with fake windows = perfect place to rape bitches (just need a soundproof door).
At least it won't break if a baseball hit it. :P
You sure about that?
Yup, i tested it... The surrounding wall broke, but the window itself didn't.
So you was the one who made that giant hole through the building.
finally they have a way to get inside
finally! they have a way to get inside
How would a baseball be able to hit the window?
The baseball itself would explode first...thus not resulting in a crashing window which was none but a painting.
That would mean, however, that the brush used for painting had to explode since everything Made in China tends to cause explosions.
But does that not include people? How come they can build complex structures without these bursting forth, resulting in a chain reaction due to people exploding, causing the next object to explode which causes the next object to explode which causes the next object to explode which causes the next object to explode which causes the next object to explode which causes the next object to explode which causes the next object to explode... ∞?
Wouldn't that mean China is just an illusion?
As a country where each and everything explodes can't possibly exist.
Yeah. They'll just explode instead.
Or just tip over by a gust of wind
