The Chinese have good machinery they just don’t have to pay union wages


The crap quality, junk materials, slave labor, reverse engineering, counterfeiting, theft of American technology, and ignoring US patents are enough that you should avoid this junk.

On top of that, they are also building a military, with our money, to spread their influence (and bio-weapons) and kill Americans if we get in their way.

What is wrong with you people? You would have been buying Mitsubishis, Kawasakis and Volkswagons in 1939 too I'll bet.

Support American companies that invent and develop this stuff. Or they'll all be bought up by PE firms and have the manufacturing *cough* MSD *cough cough* Edelbrock *cough* sent overseas anyways.

You ever try to weld Chinese 4130 or use Chinese consumables? I wouldn't want to trust any of it upside down at speed. Or expect it to retain any strength over time.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
