A chinese made building in Bangkok collapsed in the recent earthquake. It was the only building to collapse. Early reports show substandard steel and concrete. People died because of this. Then a group of chinese nationals were found removing all the construction documents from the site. They are currently in police custody.
No fucking way I ever get into anything chinese again.

This is called 'Sinophobia', and is caused by excessive anti-china propaganda. You can get help for that.
Your problem seems to be ignorance. There are real world casualties from chinese cutting corners. They knew it was substandard and got caught hiding the documents after the building collapsed.
