If you want the cheapest shit grade of steel, they will sell it to you. If you want the best grade available anywhere, they will sell that to you as well.

It's not a matter of the Chinese being incompetent, it's a matter of the buyer demanding the lowest price possible and/or not paying attention to what they receive.

Yup check out CHSN01 steel, China is pretty much the only country that can produce it in usable quantities.

It is used primarily for fusion reactors and for protecting superconducting pipes

The point of enshittification is that decent products are slowly being priced out of the reach of normal humans, and eventually out of the hands of the general public, even the affluent ones.
