substandard steel sample was taken from the collapsed SAO building on April 11 and subjected to rigorous testing

I think I heard somewhere that it's better to test your materials before actually using it.

I guess they do things in reverse on the other side of the world.

This is just one part of the broader effort to crack down on zero-coin industries, those that contribute no real value to Thai society

We need a program like that here.

Yes, “tofu dregs.” There are oodles of Youtube videos of shoddy Chinese buildings collapsing, new condo owners poking holes in their walls, finding bricks to be hollow, etc. We hear endlessly of the huge and growing Chinese military, but their equipment is sure to be “tofu dregs” as well. And those fancy new “tofu dregs” jet fighters and battleships will be manned by Chinamen . . .

And we’re supposed to believe all the hype about their navy, 5th gen fighters, and hypersonic weapons.

They submit samples prior to use for testing during the materials acquisition phase of the bid. They send the good stuff for testing and then substitute crap after getting the contract

Probably Harbor Freight caliber.

Most might work one time, some fail immediately, and a few actually work for a while.
