It is true that Chinese steel was inferior at one point but just like cheap Chinese goods of yesteryear the modern stuff is on par with western products because that's what they had to do to appeal to western consumers and manufacturers. Like damn I guess the market decided but since it's the Chinese doing it they can't believe it.
