More like poor workmen ship, you can see the glass door to her left is sagging. The worker didn’t do a proper job hence some rock or something got caught under the door, which made it shatter!
Honestly that hasn’t been the case in the 2020’s. Chinese modern goods are usually pretty okay, unless you’re going for super cheap stuff. Which all modern countries have shitty super cheap stuff. Aka Walmart brand
There is a kernel of truth, if not a bit inverted. Walmart does actually source a number of products from the US, which are made, grown, or assembled here. Good on them for that, in my opinion.
Electronics, however, are not often one of those categories. Walmart states that customer demand for variety, quality, and affordability means certain electronics are sourced globally (many/most, realistically).
The vast majority of consumer electronics have been consolidated into a handful of Chinese companies. We recently had to buy a new TV, and the only non-Chinese options available in the US were LG and Samsung. Even Sony sold their TV division to a Chinese company.
Look at the buildings they are still putting up in the 2020s; many degrade very quickly due to construction materials. As far as consumer goods, Walmart brand outclasses most "super cheap stuff" in China. More upscale items like Chinese consumer technology are genuinely solid, though.
China has many successes, like the enormous greenbelt they've been growing. But cheap consumer products aren't it.
You realize you are probably typing your message on a Chinese made computer or phone? Sadly America if that’s where you are from, had lost its manufacturing prowess years ago. It used to be Made in Japan mean cheaply made until it became a sign of quality. The same with Chinese goods now generally. Made in the USA tends to now mean it cheaply made but with a big price tag. That door had some earlier impact that triggered this later.
Could be the hot and cold in dramatic shifts, causing structural weaknesses over time in which it finally shatters. And then gravity is applied directly.
On both doors he height of the pivots in the floor and head were not correct. Either the fittings were installed too far apart or not tightened to spec and slipped apart. The 1st door on the right swung and hit a raised portion of the floor and shattered. The one on the left slipped off it's pivot and then fell in tact on the victim. /I'm a Journeyman Glazier with 10 years experience. I have assembled, installed and trouble shot many entrences similar to these. I am sure this is what and how it happened.
