š„šš° The Truth About the Hong Kong Fire: What Really Happened šØš³š„
A lot of people are spreading wild claims, so hereās the full picture based on Chinese media reporting and the actual investigation.
Letās deal with the biggest lies first: āChina didnāt report the materials or the mesh.ā or "media blackout."
Wrong! Mainland and Hong Kong Chinese media reported more technical detail than the Western press ever did.
Hereās what we know:
1ļøā£ The facade mesh WAS identified.
It was a åÆē®å¼å®å
Øē«ē½ (dense safety net).
Inspection documents posted in the estate show it came from a Shandong rope-net manufacturer, tested by the Binzhou Inspection & Testing Centre.
HK01 even tried to verify those test numbers online, the files didnāt show up, which is now part of the investigation.
2ļøā£ The real problem wasnāt the manufacturer, it was the contractor.
Only Hong Kong contractors, subcontractors and engineering consultants have been arrested.
Why?
Because they chose the materials.
They installed flammable foam boards over the windows.
They wrapped the building in plastic tarps.
They certified the mesh as āfireproof.ā
This was negligence on the Hong Kong side, not a manufacturing cover-up.
3ļøā£ Beijingās response was immediate and nationwide.
The State Council ordered a country-wide fire-safety inspection of high-rise buildings.
It also prohibited bamboo/wood scaffolding and non-flame-retardant mesh in high-rise facade work.
Mainland China phased out bamboo scaffolding years ago, Hong Kong didnāt.
š And hereās why:
Under One Country, Two Systems, Hong Kong sets its own building codes.
It kept bamboo scaffolding because it treats it as a traditional craft and cultural heritage.
Beijing doesnāt micro-manage Hong Kongās construction standards, so HKās outdated methods stayed in place.
š¬ Bottom line:
The mesh and materials WERE reported.
The investigation is transparent.
The arrests hit the right people, the ones who selected, certified and installed unsafe materials.
And the tragedy came from local negligence and old practices, not some mysterious mainland conspiracy.
