Don't take his word seriously, he is still a child.
Many Turkish, Indians, and Pakistani online are so low knowledge and say some very unaware things. Use propaganda piece articles as evidence. Like if we used some Greek articles saying the stupidest things as evidence against Turkey. Sometimes can be bothered showing the facts but usually just leave some people to believe whatever they want. Like China cannot make ballpoint pen bearing due to ability lol. Yet we can make metamaterials, nano size semiconductors, we can make Mars lander and bearings for all sizes from 0.5mm to whatever. The english buy our cranes to build their aircraft carrier. But we cannot make pen bearings?? The truth on that is our bearings for $1 batch is not as good as French made bearings for $1 batch. The french been making ballpoint pen and bearings since BIC pen changed world of pens in early 20th century. We can make maybe $2 per batch bearings that are equal to the french ones but global supply will pick the cheaper one for same quality.
If you go to Aliexpress, there are 1000 suppliers of 0.5mm CHINESE ball bearings. You can buy any grade steel you wish and ceramic types.
These are just the cheapest ones. If the CAS or Chinese government state run industries want to do it, they can make whatever grade for a price. I believe the ones used in tank and aircraft engines are highest creep and fatigue resistance using more exotic materials but they are not for cheap pens. Korea Japan and France can keep that industry. They make good ones for better price. We make good things for better price in other products. In fact most world products our price to quality and performance is pretty much in top range which is why most supplier go to China not cheaper countries to manufacture more high tech products. They can try in India please try it and see.
