We just had China remake a span of the Golden Gate Bridge in CA... They shipped it over for cheap.

Folks wonder if it will hold up... Who Knows. But, why wasn't it made here in the USA...we ship over there and they make it and send it back. Yet...the oil for transport across the Pacific seems to be cheaper than we pay to fill our automobiles.

yeah...I know...they must have some "fuel efficient ships" to manage to ship all that weight of good to Walmart and Construction Projects across the USA to Pacific and from China back to USA...so I should just not question it.
