That's frightening: rebar only 4mm approx diameter (should be 12 - 15mm diameter), of inferior quality 'steel' rods, will not provide adequate reinforcing, especially to low-grade concrete. Have the Chinese built condos in Florida perchance?
Concrete is good under compression, but needs proper reinforcement to cope with tension forces - the holes in the (too thin, poorly reinforced) floors shown should, in a caring society, lead to arrests at the construction company. But I expect they paid the required bribes to city officials, so no-one is to blame.

I thought you were having a go at the soya-munchers.

Let's hope that their military kit is of a similar standard.
Clearly some Number 17 on the menu...
With brown sauce.
You can't hide quality . . .
Sackers - maybe someone was.
Ed - it would be interesting to know how widespread this is. Many people have said something similar and shown examples, but who knows?
Sam - it could be of course.
Scrobs - an enormous amount of brown sauce.
Jannie - although they can try.
