Citizens of China’s southern city of Guilin were understandably flabbergasted at China Telecom’s unique approach to repairing a broken telephone pole – using tape.
More optimistic Chinese have been wondering about redoubtable sturdiness of the tape used and where they can get some (although in fairness, some sturdy wire also seems to have been used).

Duct Tape is the solution to almost every problem.
It's a fact of life.
If women don't find you handsome, they'll at least find you handy.
+1 for double connotations
Hey, at least the pole or tape didn't explode. Someone's making progress.
Correction: didn't explode yet. Stress the 'yet'.
It already exploded once! How else did the pole break in the first place?
If ya can't fix it, duct tape it. lol.
If that doesn't work....Then you're not using enough duct tape!
It's duct tape, you dick.
Duct tape the duct tape! Universe implodes.
Its made concrete which I am surprise they made out of which seems kind of hard to repair.
Dick gets cut off. Tape it back with duck tape.
IF everything still falls apart after using the entire roll of duct tape.. well.. f*ck this s*hit and buy a new one. lol.
If you can't fix it, fuck it.
Or rather, if you can't duck it, fuck it.
Or use duct tape.
I'm pretty sure this is china's space program.
The bottom pole will explode, launching the rocket into the air. The tape will explode later, working as the 2nd stage propellant. Finally, the top pole will explode, rendering the whole thing useless.
I love you.
You make my day lol
i lol'd hard
The glorious power of tape.
If it still breaks, you haven't used enough tape
That's some amazing tape, the company who made should use this as an advert.
God damn it...now I miss Mythbusters again.
YouTube.. best website to relive your favourite episodes :)

Tapes.
The Most Important invention of Humanity.
Stop Invasion of Termites from Mars with one roll.
Not only it stops Termites.. it can be used to:
- Shut people up.
- Join broken things together.
- censoring tape.
- creative (if sticky) pranks.
- glue an object to the surface if you have no glue.
- create a barrier (sticky one)
and etc. There's too much for me to write down here.

You forgot dating!
Tape is the only thing known to man to accomplish an unbelievable feat nobody thought possible. It makes girls shut up.
Spidergags are much more effective and practical.
Ballgags are also much more effective, and look better.

I see what you did there...
"Well, what the hell do we do now?"
"... fix it?"
"Fix it how dumbass? It's fucking torn in half!"
"Duct tape."
"Duct tape?"
"Duct tape."
*30 minutes later*
"See? Just like new."
"You think anyone'll notice?"
"Nah."
That pole is made of concrete! There's a reason wooden telephone poles are used; they provide flexibility as well as being strong. That silly thing was just poorly made, and became brittle under stress.
At the very least, if it was going to work it needs a rebar, which of course is also missing from the picture. Pathetic repair job aside, the engineering from the start was doomed to failure. They have no clue what they are doing.
There seems to be some rusty piece of wires inside. Not quite rebar, but that was there. Not sure what caused it to fall. May be hit by a truck or something.
There is nothing wrong with concrete poles if they are designed and built correctly. Rebar should be used to provide tension to the concrete.
I wouldn't want to use wood for that in China. The poor sob might decide to chop it up for firewood.
Those wires are rebars. They continue inside each broken end. You're not really expected to find 15M's in there, if that's what you're looking for. 5M or 10M at best if anything... they will naturally try to save money on whatever they can.
Nor do you, apparently. Concrete power poles are quite common worldwide.
Reinforced concrete is FAR stronger in stress (tensile, compressive, bending, shear) than wood.
My bet here, is that the concrete and rebar used was never up to chinese standards (pathetic as they are) in the first place. The maker skimped out.
Though the proper and modern way of doing this would be to have all these wires underground: safer and more stable. And better for property values / asthetics.
Oh shit, I think it's gonna fall at any minute!
I'd love to see a Vipper challenge of this one. Perhaps a loli and her highschool sister or her MILF getting taped together..
Those trying to get some of this very sturdy tape for themselves are also seeking chloroform (or ether)and a ball gag.
YOU ARE LACIST TO CHINESE PPL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing tape O_O
Correction: TAPIST.
im thoroughly impressed. Im not even joking in the slightest. How the hell they have that standing like that with tape and wires....
sure as hell better than i could do .
if it cant be duct, it's fucked.
Reparation aussi sommaire que leur arrestations lol
China repair, genius. XD
Chinese can now officially be classified as rednecks.
The plastic tape has no strength. I think it just say "in maintenance"?
wonder if their houses are covered in plastic bags during the monsoon
