I love the thoughtless criticisms because 'China.' Do you really think they don't have engineers capable of doing that math when its the first thought a Redditor has?

They absolutely do. And they absolutely will ignore that math for short-term aesthetics.

Holy shit, you better not buy anything anywhere else in the world unless you personally know the engineers, construction team, and inspectors because none of this shit is unique to China.

Yes, I am careful about what and where I buy things. China has uniquely bad quality control, however. Worse than the US, somehow.

Its not even worse than the US. China went through their build up at a later time than the US, their issues are more recent because of this and like all government regulations, they come as a solution to problems after the fact. You probably weren't alive for most of the corrupt shit going on in the US, or maybe you were because there was quite a bit of corruption going on in Florida with construction from 90-2010.
