Here’s hoping that they didn’t use Chinese cement in all of that. there is some really low quality stuff out there.

The article states that about 1/3 of the cement used is the really poor stuff, and, much of China’s housing is concrete — much more than in the US. If, no, when China gets a major earthquake in the wrong place, the casualties could be horrific. The quake a few years ago was just a “hint”.

My brother spent quite a bit of time in China, and other aspects of the construction were often no better: Modern, new, impressive buildings, but with rust stains on the sides... (One can even see this in the crappy contacts plating in most flashlights and other battery powered consumer items these days.)

theres low quality everything from china. I had to fix a pipe wrench. a pipe wrench. 150 year old technology.

The first pipe, or stillson, wrench was created by Daniel C. Stillson while working as a mechanic at the Walworth Company, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1] On October 12, 1869, U.S. patent #95,744 was issued to Stillson.[2]

I am glad I try to read the replies before posting as I was going to ask if the cement was Chinese since most of that will degrade within ten years.
