China outproduces by a factor of 10.

You mean Chinese steel, which is terrible, barely passable junk?

Yes, great for mission critical stuff.

Ukraine doesn't need artisanal, hand crafted shells. It needs 10x more than it already has.
Russia doesn't need shells exploding early, or combat gear parts snapping under load.

And that's what Chinese steel does. Fail.

They've only been able to make ball point pens, with a proper round steel ball, for a decade!

They built the largest high speed rail network in the world in less than 20 years.
And probably sourced the steel out-of-country, as they have for other things.
You're wrong.

Sounds like a dangerous railway, then.
