Made in China: 37 Bridges collapsed in 5 years
Posted on 06/04/2021 4:04:27 PM PDT by SunkenCiv
Many people think that "made in china" stands for inferior quality, so let's dig deeper for the causes.
In the five years from 2007 to 2012, a total of 37 bridges collapsed in China, including 13 bridges under construction, which killed 182 people and injured 177, an average of 7.4 "deadly bridges" per year.
In 2008, it was found that many infants were suffering from kidney stones after consuming Sanlu milk powder, which was found to contain melamine and cyanuric acid. According to china’s Ministry of Health, "By the end of December 2008, a cumulative total of 296,000 children with kidney stones caused by consumption of Sanlu milk powder had been reported nationwide, and 52,898 were hospitalized and treated. The Sanlu incident caused an international outcry and 27 countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and Italy, immediately announced a ban on the import of Chinese dairy products and related products.
Ancient buildings are strong and can last long, but nowadays in China buildings are like tofu. Why?

Suggestions of a sort of remake, "Bridge Under the River Kwai", is an idea that *may* lead to a spit take.
Their planes are every bit as good.
Not good, but considering that they’re building blue water navel vessels at 5 times our rate, along with civilian programs at many times our rate (we’re 40 years into the Second Avenue Subway line, for example...they take 3 years to build a line, 10 years to complete a city)...they can afford a few mistakes.
I hope the bridges don’t keep collapsing, they will need all of the bridges they have for the Chinese people to hang the GD commies from.
I am still waiting for that tall building recently evacuated for wobbling to collapse. Also, the Three Gorges Dam, which has moved but so far held.
This one doesn’t count, it’s just a stupid idea from the outset. Wind/Windex hashtag:

Because to godless communists, life is cheap.

They conducted a satellite killer “test” that made 10,000s of space junk objects, increasing the amount of space junk by 40%. “china satellite destruction test 2013”
It’s a feature?
You can’t build a decent bridge when the steel you use is crap.
If only the Chinese didn’t build their bridges from Sanlu milk powder which is high in melamine and cyanuric acid.
The obvious solution is to hire Chinese companies for biden’s inflastructure plojects

The engineers grew up thinking Transformers was a documentary.
Except they have trouble building jet engines.

Snip..."The bridge was previously touted as an "engineering fear come to life" because it was built using a technique known as Accelerated Bridge Construction."
