The Chinese Space station

[TDDA]

China really does have an active space program and has big plans for the near future thanks to their past economy and Walmart ...hahah

I wonder if it will be like all the chinese made stuff you buy at walmart. You got to buy a new one every six months cause the old one broke.

Don't let yourself be fooled. It's often ordered like that and engineered obsoleteness. China came a long way in the last twenty years. Quality is something you can steer. For example when you have molds for high pressure plastic extrusion, you wear them down faster when you use glass fiber for strengthening, what would keep it from breaking.

So what is done is they extrude with glass fiber and later when the mold starts to accumulate tolerances, they extrude the cheap non reinforced plastic through it for a cheaper version for mass market. $$$ factor.
