A new business park and a 707-metre tall skyscraper will come up in the city of Wuhan in China. It was a residential site earlier, with 19 blocks of flats that had to be demolished.

In the video above, the job is completed in 10 seconds flat with five tonnes of explosives. The sheer speed of it all led some people to question the country’s building standards.

Others tried a dose of whataboutery.

For some, it was a time to delve into long debunked conspiracy theories.
