I like to say, and this is original me, that the Chinese are really good at making things that look just like the real thing...
Chinese manufacturing does only one thing really well - deceive the customer.
Cut apart a cheap ChiCom kitchen tool like you can get at your grocery store. You will find stainless-plated pot-metal held together by whale snot.
Chinese manufacturing is more like making a Hollywood movie set, than anything else.
Bkmk
The problem described is one of purchasing rather than manufacturing. If you buy cheap you get cheap.
There is very likely a more expensive version of the same Chinese product available.
to be honest the ccp wouldn’t mind all that much
its difficult to keep over a billion people where they are not overwhelming the cities, content.
I’ve seen the videos of the two guys who traveled to the various deserted cities in China, buildings that were made just a few years before, falling apart
They aren’t predicting it
The story says “may” and then discusses what foreign structural engineers were concerned about when they were asked to look at it

In most cases, they are making something for a Western market that they do not understand, or frankly, care about. Why should they?
I thought they would be too busy Torturing Dogs to death at their “Obama” Dog Meat Extravaganza to notice a problem with their Dam.
I assume it was built as well as the Soviet Union built the Containment Dome at Chernobyl. Oh wait, they didn’t need one of those silly Containment Domes. A Tin Shed did the job.
How long before “climate change” - caused by all of us awful human beings - is blamed?
Psst!
Don’t tell anyone.
This is the work of our new CIA under President Trump.
When the levee breaks, mama you got to move.........
Well, this ought to shut down a few wet markets......
Since that theory deals with Water.
Did Mad Maxine Waters come up with that theory?
Or was it this clown again?
Rep. Hank Johnson, Guam will Tip over and capsize -

Rep. Hank Johnson thinks that due to overpopulation, Guam might tip over and capsize. He doesn’t look like he’s joking either.
I think the estimate is 60M dead if the dam suddenly collapses. Something that India, no doubt, knows too.
So that’s where all the rain has gone......
The ChiComs aren’t really as atheistic as the Soviets were. They generally give a pass to Confucianism and Chinese folk religion, because the ChiComs are still nationalistic and those things are native to the culture.
See, if you had been a Who fan, you would know that the right lyric is: “I’ve a feeling ‘21 is going to be a good year...”
Anything Chinese is crap! Should not be allowed into America!
Sounds like national socialism to me.

I once took a course on Soviet politics. During one of their 5-year plans, this certain Soviet nail factory was given a quota. It had to produce so many tons of nails per year. Well, the manager realized it was easier to produce big nails than it was to produce small nails. So he produced nothing but really big nails.
He got a medal for meeting his quota. The big nails just sat in the back lot and rusted. No one needed nails that big.
