Presumably the forklift that unloads the box would also be used to unfold it. You can push the forks together and they make a gizmo for attaching a chain and hook to the end of them.
These Chinese boxes aren't the only "unfolding" building options. This one is a tent material impregnated with fast setting concrete. You get it wet, plug in the inflator, and the next day you can move into it. They made quite a splash when they were first invented but they never really caught on.
