Regarding replacement of parts of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, above says
"Construction of the bridge decks and the materials that went into them are
a Made in China affair. California officials say the state saved hundreds of
millions of dollars by turning to China."

"Zhenhua put 3,000 employees to work on the project: steel-cutters, welders,
polishers and engineers. The company built the main bridge tower, which was
shipped in mid-2009, and a total of 28 bridge decks ? the massive triangular
steel structures that will serve as the roadway platform."

I'm sure that's some quality steel there.

There should be, it's made from melted down
Fords and Chevys.

So their steel is made of plastic?

the quality of that steel has to be pure ****.
