Massacre? These Chinese buildings used accelerants from the Hong Kong fire and will burn down like torches
—Fake materials have been widely used in countless buildings across China; if a fire breaks out, they will burn down one after another like torches

The fire at Hong Kong's Hung Fuk Yuen has resulted in at least 151 deaths and hundreds missing. The Hong Kong government has changed its story three times, from "abnormal burning of the protective netting" to "meeting fire-retardant standards," and then admitting that 7 out of 20 samples failed to meet standards. The truth increasingly points to systemic corruption reminiscent of the Chinese Communist Party. An investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) revealed that the contractors involved purchased 2,300 rolls of non-fire-retardant fiberglass netting at HK$54 per roll, enough to cover eight buildings; they then used a small number of compliant products to "smuggle" them through government inspections. Meanwhile, fire alarms in all eight buildings were malfunctioning, fireproof windows in escape ladders were replaced with thin wooden boards, and windows were sealed with expanding foam, leaving residents with no way to escape.
As the investigation deepens, the core of the scandal has emerged:
These fiberglass nettings all point to Huimin County, Binzhou, Shandong Province—China's largest fiberglass netting base, with 4,257 enterprises, 120,000 employees, and an annual output value of 30.2 billion RMB. Hong Kong's independent media outlet "Green Bean" questions: Why is the Hong Kong government so eager to "clean up" the fiberglass netting? Because once the investigation is completed, it will expose a massive counterfeit industry chain spanning Shandong Province—the lifeline of local finances, employment, and exports.
The Hong Kong fire is now burning towards Xi Jinping.
This perfectly aligns with the personal experience of Hu Liren, a Shanghai entrepreneur and host of the program "Real China."
Hu Liren recalled to NTDTV that in 2016, his company purchased a large quantity of counterfeit PE pipes for construction. After failing inspection, they complained to Shandong Province, only to be directly told by local regulatory authorities:
"We rely on counterfeit companies to maintain tax revenue. You're unlucky to have bought counterfeit goods."
Regulators even bluntly stated:
"Our company engages in large-scale counterfeiting; we simply cannot survive without it."
Hu Liren was subsequently suppressed by the government and forced into exile in the United States in 2018.
His investigation in Shandong and Hebei revealed that counterfeiting is a pillar industry in these regions; without it, they cannot survive.
The profit margin for counterfeit materials increased from 10% to 50%, with 25% going to officials, leaving only 25% for the company—forming a powerful triangular profit structure. He summarized:
“The core competitiveness of ‘Made in China’ is counterfeit goods + low prices; this is a systemic issue.”
Six years have passed; have Chinese companies improved?
Hu Liren: No, it’s only gotten worse.
He bluntly stated:
“The worse the Chinese economy gets, the more it relies on counterfeiting to survive. The scale of counterfeiting now is much larger than in 2016.”
Chinese companies are trapped in extreme infighting, with prices driven to the point of being drastic, leaving counterfeiting as the only way to make a profit.
Hu Liren said he was “not surprised” at all by the Hong Kong fire:
“Because I know where these materials came from and what their quality is.”
He pointed out that similar disasters have already occurred:
The 2010 fire in Jing’an District, Shanghai (58 deaths), was also caused by counterfeit exterior wall insulation materials.
Hu Liren warned:
“Fake materials have been widely used in countless buildings across China. Once a fire breaks out, they will burn down like torches.”
Aboluowang commentator Wang Duren analyzed that the Hong Fuk Yuen fire was not an accident, but an inevitable result of the CCP's systematic export of its counterfeiting model to Hong Kong. When regulation fails, officials and businesses collude, and counterfeit goods become an industry chain, no city is safe. Hong Kong is just the first domino to fall; the fire's endpoint is not Tai Po, but Zhongnanhai.
“This is not a fire—it is the first large-scale massacre by the Chinese counterfeit empire in Hong Kong.”
