I have reviewed lots and lots of Material Test Reports from all over the world and have never ever seen one from China. Chinese steel is shunned by American manufacturers

Tofu Drang is not acceptable

Many years ago, I did see some from a Chinese subsidiary of a German company with very tight quality control. That company closed it’s China operations completely also years ago

The sound coming from the economic implosion of the EU is growing ever more pronounced as they whine and fuss over Western imposed climate policies, etc. that they see fit to push to the rest of the non-Western world.

Without reliable, affordable electricity not only would the Chinese economy rapidly contract but there would be hunger, social and political riotous instability. The Chinese will burn anything to avoid that.

Its a bit ironic. The Germans are chopping down trees for energy but are not reopening coal mines. They are even proceeding with their plans to close their remaining nuclear power plants. those trees ould have absorbed some of the carbon dioxide released by coal burning. Wonder who will do better within a year: China or Germany?

So the Trump tariffs on Chinese steel were unnecessary because we weren’t importing any?

Big wind

But Big coal
always meets the goal
plenty of juice
for everyone!

I’ve read that their plan is to go heavily toward battery cars powered by coal power plants and conserve petroleum for military use.

Our national sleep has consequences.China has depleted resources for their 1.5 billion...Canada, America and Australia have plenty. Our political betters have been compromised for decades, Americans getting squeezed
by the day. Chicoms buying U.S. land as fast as they can. Hmmm....where is this sinister equation heading?
