Myanmar was hit by a horrific 8.2 magnitude earthquake at 14:20 pm on the 28th, Taiwan time. At the time of the earthquake, neighboring countries China and Thailand also felt strong tremors. Among them, a 30-story office building of the Audit Office under construction in Bangkok collapsed. It was found that the building was built by China Railway 10th Bureau Group. Some people thought that it collapsed because it was "not completed". However, Taiwanese netizens explained that the building was capped in April last year, pointing out the key point of "don't talk nonsense".

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) initially estimated the magnitude of the strong earthquake in Myanmar to be 7.7. However, the Earthquake Monitoring Department of the Thai Meteorological Bureau revised the magnitude of the earthquake to an astonishing 8.2, and then the aftershock of magnitude 6.4 was also updated to magnitude 7.1. Neighboring countries China and Thailand also felt strong tremors, including Bangkok.

This Audit Office building under construction in Chatuchak, Bangkok, Thailand, was found to be contracted and built by China Railway Group's subsidiary China Railway Group Corporation, China Railway 10th Bureau Group, with a total cost of 2.136 billion baht (about NT$2.082 billion), 30 floors and an area of ​​about 4.4 hectares. When the strong earthquake hit, the entire building collapsed instantly due to the huge shaking, killing at least 3 workers and trapping 81 people in the rubble. The video of the building's collapse also went viral on the Internet.

When the building was capped in April last year, China Railway 10th Bureau Group issued a press release through the media, proudly stating that "after completion, it will mainly serve the National Audit Office of Thailand and other relevant government functional departments, and will be a business card for China Railway 10th Bureau Group's development in Thailand", but secretly deleted the "celebratory capping article" on social media after the building collapsed.

Some netizens believe that the building collapsed because it was "not completed", but a Taiwanese netizen posted an article on Threads to explain that this is the only collapsed building in Bangkok, which is a Chinese miracle. He bluntly said that the intensity of the earthquake reached about 5 in Bangkok, but under normal circumstances, the RC structure is 6 and the SRC is 7.

Netizens mentioned that it is true that most buildings in Bangkok do not have earthquake-proof designs, but most of them have not collapsed, but this building, which was capped in April last year, collapsed. Netizens explained that the meaning of "building capping" is basically that the main structure is completed, and the foundation and building strength should have been "stable" long ago, and bluntly said "Don't talk about not being completed yet."
