Yeah, let's be snarky, one bridge collapse during construction means the whole country cannot build a decent bridge.

Some of the longest and most used suspension bridges are in China, and they've been in use for years in major cities like Shanghai.

Here is a list of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world, look at how many of them are in China:

Yeah no problem, that makes sense, to be fair I've personally seen Chinese companies cutting corners as far as safety goes.

I don't know what's more impressive, their capability to achieve super high quality at low cost or their capability to achieve unsafe quality at even lower cost...

The fenghuang bridge collapse a few years ago caught my attention. Definitely corruption that took it down with 40+ workers.

But I've travelled on these bridges and don't think they are unsafe. The expressway ones at least seem to be supervised much more closely.
