Let’s face it Communist Regimes have never been known
for producing quality items. In a capitalistic market, quality is the
cornerstone of a company either rising to the top or failing miserably.
China has been the poster child for copycat products
for decades, some products do well but as we know a majority of items sold in
the big box outlets that were made in China fail prematurely.
Unfortunately Americans have adopted the idea that the
things they buy at Walmart and say Amazon are not the best quality, but they
are cheap and will get them through in a pinch.
We are a throwaway society and it’s only getting
worse. I’m the adventuresome tinkerer and if something I purchased fails I try
to fix it before tossing it in the trash. If I fix it, I’ve saved money, if not
then no great loss, hopefully the replacement will work better.
Case in point with the Covid-19 virus. Money was
handed through a back door grant to China because such dangerous lab testing
wasn’t allowed in the United States. As the old adage goes, “You get what you
pay for.” Safety precautions be damned full speed ahead! The world suffered
from bad safety protocols for the two years following.
There isn’t much of an incentive to create a well-made
or safe product under Communist rule the worker ants just produce without much
concern for resale value or safety.
I often chuckle to myself when we are told how much
more advanced China is in military hardware. Maybe they are in certain ways but
when I throw away a China made product from Walmart that only lasted 2 months,
I find myself mumbling about…”they better make their military stuff better than
that item I just threw in the trash.”
Enter the story on October 14, 2023 about a Shang
Class Chinese Nuclear Submarine that was lost due to being caught in its own
trap that was laid for enemy submarines, killing all 55 of the crew. The
incident happened on August 21, 2023 to the type 093 Nuclear Sub.
The deaths were due to Hydrogen Sulfide poisoning.
Sadly no detection device had been placed on this sub, so the crew had no
warning about their impending doom. So safety protocols were ignored and the
sub’s warning systems were lacking to say the least. In a last ditch effort to
deflect criticism on the lack of safety measures the CCP instead placed blame
on the deceased crew.
Not surprisingly this isn’t the first of incidences
such as these as other naval disasters have haunted the CCP for decades.
