You're wrong.

Sounds like a dangerous railway, then.

It’s not, statistically. But don’t let me stop you from clinging to ignorance.

Thanks for all the stats.

That said, clearly they've just been lucky. Sadly, it won't last, and people will pay the price.

Because Chinese steel is junk.

It's junk based on what? Racial inferiority? Why feed stats to someone who isn't interested in reality?

[b112]

I knew it would come. "Racism". The last refuge of the rascal, throwing dispersion.

Stating reality in China, is not racism.

It's junk because it's of poor quality, and even worse, poor quality control. Personal experience has shown me so, steel product from China is junk.

And no, I won't disbelieve my eyes, and experiences, nor will the many other people I know who have experienced what Chinese "steel" is like.

Car parts, every manner of tool, I've seen steel snap like twigs, screwdriver ends break off, plyers deform when used, brake calipers snap, while North America made parts do not, including tools 50 years old, rusted, stronger than Chinese steel junk.

Chinese steel is junk. Everyone knows this. It's junk.

And calling me a racist is utterly pathetic.

Well China has produced half of the steel in the world and half of the finished steel products for many years. I can't think of a rational reason to believe that all that steel is constantly snapping "like twigs."

Producing half the steel(which seems highish, but not impossible), doesn't mean it is good steel.

And tools I buy with Chinese steel, do snap like twigs. Other steel does not. Because it's not junk.

Like Chinese steel does.

Because it's junk.
