Chinese Steel Fails Second Test in Thai Building Collapse Probe

Chinese Steel Fails Second Test in Thai Building Collapse Probe
Steel bars imported from Chinese firm Xin Ke Yuan have failed a second safety test amid investigations into the State Audit Office building collapse in Thailand. A 20mm steel bar did not meet weight-per-metre standards, casting further doubt on the material’s quality. Although a larger 32mm bar recently passed, authorities remain concerned, with results forwarded to the Department of Special Investigation as part of ongoing inquiries into construction safety compliance.
