Title: Fake building material imperils Chinese railway
Post by: Foxy Brown on July 08, 2007, 03:16:14 AM

Fake construction material is jeopardizing the safety of China's newest high-speed railway, a Chinese newspaper says.

An investigation by the newspaper found that large quantities of bogus material had been used in several hundred kilometres of a $12-billion (U.S.) high-speed railway between the cities of Wuhan and Guangzhou.

350 Kilometers per hour train on fake construction materials ->  High-speed suicide

What's goes around, comes around.

China,or its people is just asking for one major disaster after another.

I read further down the article about the tainted products and how the government think the media has overblown it. Something like bogus material in a high speed rail line makes me wonder if their government claims are actaully true or something made up  :-\
