Chinese shipyards took full advantage of their low-cost edge over rival shipbuilding nations Korea and Japan. In 2009, China beat Korea to the shipbuilding top spot, having won 44.4 percent of all new orders compared with Koreas 40.1 percent.

In China when a new boat is built, it is called a "Chinese Sampan". When it is old and rotting, it called a "Chinese Junk".

@giranful You're just a dumb racist. I welcome anyone who speaks my mother tongue, unlike you, who vilify them. Unless, a person lives in a particular culture their whole life, it's very hard for them to abandon their native accent. I know Australians who grew up in Britain and can't even let that go after decades in London...

@giranful Idiot. There's no such thing as "bad accent". I can understand her perfectly and I'm from South Africa. At least she speaks more than one language unlike your lame ass.

Chinese ship manufacturing is one of the best in the world. Ships cost billions of dollars you think shipping companies would give China to built crap? Rust is a natural occurance on ships whether its built in US, Japan or Europe its because sea water is corrosive! Why do you think ships have to go on dry docks from time to time, because they need to be repainted and re rust proofed! China is the largest exporter of steel, ships built else where also use Chinese steel.
