re: #157 Dr Lizardo

Literally, if you’ve ever seen videos on “tofu-dreg construction”. Buildings where the cladding blows away in the wind, concrete and rebar that you can break with your bare hands like you’re from the planet Krypton or something, highway overpasses that fall over because a heavy truck used the passing lane.

They can build all that fast - but it’s all shit.

Maybe. But I’m old enough to recall when Japanese products were mocked as being low quality, and then within a few years, they were number 1 in terms of product loyalty and far better than what the Big 3 were creating. China is working its way up the food chain and should never be underestimated. The hopefully soon collapse of Russia will likely be the real opportunity for them.
