I just really doubt this when it comes to China.

Betting against China being able to build anything at this point seems pretty dumb.

Almost delusional I would say.

Why? Have you not seen how low quality the things they build are? Among gun collectors, Chinese made guns are considered a fat joke, unreliable. Guns of all things, they invented gun powder!

Then there's buildings, literally fall apart out of nowhere. Their standards of building things are very shockingly bad. There is no motivation to do high quality work.

There was the hospital they built during COVID that collapsed after 3 months.

Those problems aren't limited to China. Just look at the crumbling infrastructe of the 'west'. Besides that they do produce high-quality stuff, even if only specified to that level by 'western' investors/corporations.
