New San Francisco bridge built in China to be shipped to US

[Locutus]

Makes perfect sense eh.


Next month, four enormous steel skeletons, the last of the 12 segments of the bridge, will be shipped 6,500 miles from Shanghai to San Francisco before being assembled on site.

The bridge, which will connect San Francisco to Oakland on the other side of the bay, is a sign of how China has moved on from building roads and ports in Africa and the developing world and is now aggressively bidding for, and winning, major construction and engineering projects in the United States and Europe.

Isn't that sweet, not only importing poorly made consumer goods, now its bridges. When are the Americans going to get it thru their thick skulls the more they import from China the more indebted they become & the more the US looses its urge for economic competition. Sure isn't the way to dig themselves out of the debt hole they're in.
