I think they just suck at concrete and compaction.

They haven't figured out how to steal compaction methods from the west, yet.

The entire Mekong River Basin is full of Chinese dams.

Shitty Chinese construction is actually all over the developing world. In addition to being shitty, the Chinese love to destroy the environment while building the previously mentioned shitty shite.

I did a little bit of landscape design work in China about 12 years ago. The architect was chinese but got his degree at K-State and worked for a big firm in Dallas. He told me all the architects do over there is provide a design; no construction documents or specifications. The contractor just takes the architects pretty pictures and builds from that. Crazy way to build.
