Ah, the old "but western companies demand cheap, so china makes cheap" argument.

A nice, classic deflection. Goes right up there with the racist deflection.

No. Western companies ask for spec, Chinese companies say "sure" when they bid, but then just make junk.

With junk parts.

Such as junk Chinese steel. Because they can't make quality steel, because the QA, and knowledge, and capability, and work culture isn't there. Note again, how it was only the early 2010s, when Chinese companies were able to make tiny little steel balls, reliably, and round enough, for ball point pens.

Because Chinese steel is junk.

No deflection.

Because no evidence.

Chinese steel is beautiful.

Because it is perfect.
