Serious Qingdao Sifang breaks silence, saying trains were still safe

[SNTCK]

The Qingdao Sifang Locomotive and Rolling Stock Company has broken its silence on the issue of defects in 26 of 35 MRT trains, saying that they did not pose safety risks and that the trains could have continued to run safely.

But Qingdao Sifang said in a statement on Wednesday that it took the initiative to recall the trains for repairs "owing to its sense of responsibility to its clients and its products".

The century-old Chinese company is known as the cradle of China's railway sector.

LTA wanted to buy new trains. They went to China to source thinking they should be cheaper there. They found one n ask the manufacturer, 'What would happen if
the trains are faulty?'

The manufacturer quietly pointed to the only sign in English that read,

'GUARANTEE NO SPOIL'.

Feeling assured, they bought the trains. Now the trains give problem. LTA quickly returned to the manufacturer and asked for a refund or an exchange. When the manufacturer refused to give either, LTA pointed to the sign assuring a guarantee.

The manufacturer then said, 'Brother, you are in China. We read from*the right to the left.

I was playing a game made by a Japanese company where they recreated WWII in a galactic setting (hence, a lot of battleships and admirals, and most admirals have special skills). So basically your fleet can deploy drones, shoot lasers, shoot missiles, etc.

One of the Chinese admirals, when captured and recruited, has a skill called (I kid you not) MIC -- Made in China: "Due to a manufacturing defect, this fleet can only make one attack per turn."
