Cissy Wang apologises after post blaming flammable netting for Wang Fuk Court fire

29th November 2025 – (Hong Kong) The No. 5 alarm blaze at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po has left at least 128 people dead and 79 injured. On Friday (28th November), Cissy Wang, wife of actor Donnie Yen, drew widespread attention after posting on Instagram that the disaster was “not caused by bamboo scaffolding” but by contractors using “non-compliant, China-made flammable safety netting.”



The remarks quickly sparked controversy online. Later that evening, Wang deleted the statement and issued an apology on Weibo, saying she had removed the content to avoid misunderstanding and expressing regret for sharing inappropriate wording. She added that her original intention was to discuss bamboo scaffolding but acknowledged the need for greater caution when relaying information during such a sensitive time.

only in 2025, speaking the truth need to apologized

exposing the truth gets raided by special forces

donnie yen married a stupid

Whatever china material they using, the main con sure kena… i think no matter what they has to be the main stakeholder..

Like last year got some aircraft door malfunction in france, also mau blame china😅

Can your surgeon blame china if surgery fail?

Just stop kuda, ur life will be more peaceful.

Were the nettings actually safety-compliant though?

The net is likely made in China but isnt the one putting up the net should be held responsible than the manufacturer ? Donnie got a dumb wife.

why the die-die must protect bamboo scaffolding mentality?

CCP behsong....

Despite hundreds died, to them is nothing so serious until must blame them. Some wumaos here also same thinking.

The keyword is China. The cause of fire is still the sub standard netting that was used by the main contractor.

No wonder, the outrage has been very muted.....Was there even any outrage?

People must watch their words very carefully.

I lost count dy how many time the long haired causes him trouble.

she was defending bamboo better than steel or iron bar.

the bamboo was what keeping the fire to burn for so long

So who is the main contractor?

Bamboo not suitable and fire hazard

our bamboo different from theirs? how come lemang not burnt

Its the truth. Just that three letters could cause his husband downfall

So china gonna boycott ipman 🤣

This is the world that ktards want to live in ma.


Govern me harder, Da Ge.

Those net are made from what material? How to make it not burn?

Even their Bamboo is from China.

depend on the freshness of the bamboo as well. if still greeny probably not so easy, plus those wet pulut can prevent the temperature from going to high. but if already dried up like in those on the building, much easier.

plus those material tie up the bamboo probably also flammable

before gas is common, dried burning bamboo memang can become source of heat to cook.

hk side many koyak because this time around kena prc say 2025 already still using bamboo. face gone.

ya you can say the net burn more easily compare to the bamboo, but whatever keeping the fire for so long was the bamboo.

another thing is, if bamboo so good why only left hk using? bamboo sifu who tie up the bamboos rice bowl need to jaga.

The manufacturer will be held accountable if the contractor bought netting that are specified non-flammable but turn out to be otherwise.

But as for now its all speculation but i would not be surprised if the truth will be never be known as there is too much at stake here.

The netting and styrofoams were first to burn, but the bamboo is the one that sustained the fire. Of course bamboo harder to burn, but when it burns it burns long time causing fire to spread. Its hollow structure can also allow fire and heat to travel along the poles, spreading the fire vertically and horizontally.

Stupiak hongkies still defending their bamboo culture.

If you are celebrity and your family depend on ccp business for livelihood pandai pandai no need to make comment on socmed la. Why need so big mouth? Just say let the experts investigate

This is corruption.

Eh, I tot China only allow experts to post on socmed?

Time to lock her up.

Do you speak the moral truth to your boss and his boss each and every time?

Hundreds died in one of the worst fire disasters in history. Luckily not one of your people...and everyone is arguing about bamboo and mosquito netting.

she post in insta, plus she is canadian..

if the truth is so important to cissy then she shouldn’t retract and apologize. Just like Japan pm.
The fact she apologized showed she prioritize her husbands rice bowl and just made that statement because big mouth

Maybe becos her husband got some connection. Otherwise if she pipit won't even be given chance to apologize. Straight angkut to reeducation camp.

bamboo burns after reaching a threshold temperature, if i'm not wrong it is around 200-300C. Your lemang bbq doesn't reach that temperature. But the fire is caused by the netting burning continuously and hit the threshold.

bamboo is not entirely to blame, but it is one of the risks. The big fire is unfortunately an adage of Murphy's Law.

But the weirdest thing why people in other blocks didn’t evacuate 🤷‍♂️

HKer should not make reckless statement la, HK autonomy is in name only. Last last tarik balik end up ownself looking like a clown

There are some who believe the authorities are pushing the bamboo narrative in order to close the case quickly. There were already complaints about the bamboo, the netting and the contractors for the past year, but the local politician (Peggy Wong) had dismissed them out of hand.

if she just put non-compliant netting still ok, why must put made in China? 1000 and 1 things are made in China now, they have compliant and non-compliant type it is the contractor to choose which to use. does she meant if made in other countries they are all compliant? blame it on the contractor not the country who made it.

🔥🇭🇰 The Truth About the Hong Kong Fire: What Really Happened 🇨🇳🔥

A lot of people are spreading wild claims, so here’s the full picture based on Chinese media reporting and the actual investigation.

Let’s deal with the biggest lies first: “China didn’t report the materials or the mesh.” or "media blackout."
Wrong! Mainland and Hong Kong Chinese media reported more technical detail than the Western press ever did.

Here’s what we know:

1️⃣ The facade mesh WAS identified.
It was a 密目式安全立网 (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 didn’t show up, which is now part of the investigation.

2️⃣ The real problem wasn’t 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 “fireproof.”
This was negligence on the Hong Kong side, not a manufacturing cover-up.

3️⃣ Beijing’s 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 didn’t.

👉 And here’s 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 doesn’t micro-manage Hong Kong’s construction standards, so HK’s outdated methods stayed in place.

💬 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.

Main thing is cb contractors use flammable materials, bamboo or not. Bamboo might not have cause the fire but definitely is a factor in sustaining the deadly inferno.

Same shit as Grenfell Tower and our PJ EPF building (topkek kena bakar twice). The flammable materials used were the main focus instead of the cause of fire.

This fire giving me "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" arguments vibe

bamboo is safe, strong and good for enviroments that used since ancient china even british hk didnt ban bamboo. westerner introduce netting , osha, etc is quite new though

Yeah, u comment anything about the meow doing lately ? Same same la brader.

applying same marxism leninism logic

lemang sellers would have been barbequed all along

have you seen how lemang bamboo were burned or not

bamboo scaffolding is still used in HK for a number of reasons, mainly due to scarcity of space, if you been to HK streets you'd know, imagine the height of M vertica but with just 2 lanes of road, how to lay steel scaffolding

besides that, steel is not without its flaws, it melts and deformed in high temperature

watch this and tell me after that




don't join dumb wumaos trying to divert the narrative that trying to blame bamboo

lemang sellers have been living with bamboo for decades, bamboo forest in Japan have lasted centuries without major fires like what happened in California last year

She ok or not? Blaming big brother?

Cissy Wang - at least she got the right name......

wumaos dream world.

Lel
pusing jangan tak pusing
under british democracy rules....both contractor and governing body are held accountability
under CCP rules......no accountability....there are still alot of white mice around can be use.

i already explained once, u self go find back.

for a better reference, someone posted heating water with a plastic bag but the plastic bag did not straight away melted.

if still cannot understand, my suggestion is to retake your secondary school science class.

dont skip science

pot calling kettle black.
abang ada baca baik baik?


i guess she forgot she's a public figure.
it's always a norm even in malaysia to say "china mari, will explode".
she likely blame the correct party but should have left out where the material come from. and just say they using non-compliant, cheap flammable safety netting.

Should say account kena hack-ed!

i seriously cannot brain ur counter argument

you said bamboo is the only culprit but you conveniently ignored the netting and foam; already got reporters made simple experiment to show how easy is it to burn the net sample taken at the scene

very hard to debate with wumaos

---

speaking of which, ur CCP wife not yet lari your money?

first she's a canadian, CCP crumbles or rises has nth to do with her

only her husband is an ex-US citizen reassimilated into CCP, and currently a member of CPPCC, so called tukang cari makan

It does not change the fact that she is stupid to include china made comment. The netting choice is made by developer and she could just say developer is responsible for choosing a flammable material over a non flammable one.

Sounds like forever alone incel energy jealous of people having pussi.

dont put words into my mouth.

i never say bamboo is the only culprit.

i said, whatever is causing it to burn for so long is the bamboo fueling it

understand?

Dua dua salah.

Netting sebab easily flamable, bamboo because sustain fire.

Happy?

Walaoyeh.....
The world theory of fire combustion can be throw out.
Even my knowledge regarding thermodynamics which took me two sem to study also no use.
All because of missing bamboo in the equation.

ni another typical CCP trying to spin narrative

let me ask you

if the netting used met the firesafety needs,

would the fire even happen in the first place?

HK has been using bamboo for more than 100 years

how many fires had it caused so far?

not saying bamboo is superior or steel is superior, but because of this incident, suddenly want all 100% constructions to use steel? bia betul

the root cause also cant 100% be identified, now starting to blame bamboo

fwiw, in Msia rural kampung areas, ppl also use bamboo as scaffolding, so did it burn?

Msia OK jah use steel. Why not tell dosh and cidb change to bamboo?

and also if you are chinese and know the history of firecracker, ancient chinese burn bamboo to chase ghost, the burning of bamboo with fire will explode and make the cracking sound. also 1 of the reason the building fire can spread because the bamboo burn and explode then the fire jump to another building.

for those chinese that dont understand how bamboo can burn, come on la stop pretending you are chinese

“炮竹”一词源于古人燃烧竹子来驱邪避鬼。竹子的空腔在高温下会发出噼啪的爆裂声，因此得名“爆竹”或“炮竹”。后来，随着火药的发明，“爆竹”的制造材料从竹子变成了纸筒，但沿用了“爆竹”的叫法，并逐渐演变为今天的鞭炮

lol shift blame to manufacturer when the contractor the one that use the material?

seriously, she have a good point.
who ate lemang before and see how it is made?
the bamboo was not the cause of the fire. its not easily burn.
the Scaffolding fall is because the string to ikat the scaffolding gave way due to the fire.

but it's not the fault of mesh net provider also.
contractor should have order & use fire retardant net, but they cheap out.

bamboo also plays a big role.
standard mesh net burns & drip, but the material actually burns out very fast.
kinda like burning a plastic straw, it carries the fire, drips, but burn out very quickly.
bamboo van burn for long time, keeps burning even when it becomes bamboo charcoal.
the hollow nature of bamboo also allows it to suck fresh oxygen from opening to further fuel the fire.

the bamboos are treated

Bamboo Chemical Injection (Fire-Retardant Treatment)
• Fresh bamboo poles are placed inside a sealed pressure chamber
• Vacuum is applied to remove air inside bamboo pores
• Fire-retardant chemical solution (borax, boric acid, ammonium salts) is added
• High pressure is applied to force chemicals deep into the bamboo fibers
• Treatment reaches the internal cellular structure
• Bamboo is then removed, dried, and cured
• Result: long-lasting internal fire-retardant protection
• Much more durable than soaking or spraying
• Protection remains even after rain and long outdoor exposure


but why wumaos never blame the first culprit - the safety net and foam

given steel scaffolding under high temperatures

it will become like this



if the steel were used instead of bamboo, firemen and crowds in the street would be dead by the crushing steel fell onto them

look at the video. you can see on the right hand side, the safety netting just melts away within secs, which is what a flame retardant/approved safety netting does.

still the main culprit is the foam that they use to cover the window.

ccp ma, what do you expect LOL, if ccp listen to the truth, covid may not be that bad :X

That's not fire retardant man
That's akin to casting fire onto clothes dipped with petrol

The burning of foam did emit toxic gases and CO which did suffocate the victims

Wow, anybody who disagrees with your narrative is automatically labelled CCP?

I already said, the netting and styrofoam is the first to burn, so of course if these were not there, or if the netting used correct specifications, the fire won't be so deadly. But since these two already failed, the bamboo under intense heat also caught fire, not hard to understand right? The video I was reacting to in the other thread clearly showed the bamboo burning. After that it will propagate the fire and prolong the fire. If steel had been used, the netting and foam will easily burn out, and the fire will die off fast.

saw some hk source this year got around 10 cases of bamboo scaffolding burned.

this 1 major so gets the hightlight.

u dont see so many metal scaffolding burn also

fire retardant safety netting also melt under fire, non fire retardant safety netting also melts under fire. the main difference is that the non fire retardant does carry some flame to keep burning and melt away. but in the video, some part of the safety netting didnt kept on burning.

the foam is the mail culprit due it is the one that is connecting to the window. once the foam burns, it burns everything near the window, could be books, clothes, furniture.
