I do so love to hear about “cheap Chinese steel” coming out of the mouths of know-nothing liberals and the haters running PR in American metallurgical industries.
The idea that a foreign could have figured out how to do something cheaper, faster, and better than an American is so alien and incomprehensible to the western brainpan.
To be fair, my buddy is a steel fabricator and says there is a marked difference in quality. I personally chalk that up to China sending their bad stuff and keeping the good shit
The Ea-Nasir school of selling metal: the good stuff goes to the state, sell the cheap shit to the private collectors, laugh when the latter get what they paid for
I live in a region in Brazil known for the steel industry, and when I asked people who work in the industry or working with industries that consume the steel, they said that the Chinese stainless steel in particular is inferior.
It is true that Chinese steel was inferior at one point but just like cheap Chinese goods of yesteryear the modern stuff is on par with western products because that’s what they had to do to appeal to western consumers and manufacturers. Like damn I guess the market decided but since it’s the Chinese doing it they can’t believe it.

It’s what they had to do to appeal to Chinese customers and manufacturers. China is eclipsing Western consumer markets as fast as they’re manufacturing outlets.

farmers do this, I have never had better produce or food than when I’m eating near where stuff is grown
