- medium_burrito 6y agoNowhere near as bad. The sheer scale and reach of Chinese counterfeits/crap quality is epic. If there's an olympics for this, China wins all the medals in every event. - Fake apple cables - Fidget spinners - Remember fake Apple stores? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-apple-fake-idUSTRE76K1SU20110721 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-apple-fake-idUSTRE7... - Remember the milk scandal? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal - And don't forget the Three Gorges Dam, where the grifters building it used so much concrete building it (causing a global concrete shortage), but didn't worry about the problems non-homogeneous concrete causes in large load-bearing structures, and skimping on quality and every which way. The CCP has basically admitted the dam is useless for flood control. And it has some cracks, and the weather changes are going to cause more issues.
