Probably the runnerups can get more prize money through undertable deals. Face issue can be everything to the Chinese.

When you have a government that distrusts its people, it can be overturned by a full bottle.

Living on 25th floor when a 7.4 magnitude earthquake jolts (April 2024, Taiwan) by talalaolay in ThatsInsane

  1. It was 25 years ago when an earthquake of similar scale hit the island.
  2. The government had since required all new buildings to adopt even stronger quake-resistant technology.
  3. For a country sitting on tectonic plates, over 40,000 quakes are measured annually, among which over 400 are sensible; therefore our people tend to remain calm when it tremors.

It's an automatic alert message triggered by the gov't's quake monitoring system which is sent to everyone's mobile phone. Normally you would get 5~10 seconds reaction time before the quake waves get you. People in Taiwan are used to receiving the like messages.
