<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The phrase '''tofu-dreg project'''(Chinese:豆腐渣工程) is a phrase current in Chinese mainland used to describe a poorly constructed building. This phrase was coined by [[Zhu Rongji]], the former premier of the [[People's Republic of China]], on a visit to [[Jiujiang]] City, [[Jiangxi]] Province to describe a jerry-built dam.<br />
<br />
In China, the term tofu dregs (the messy bits left after making tofu) is widely used as a metaphor for shoddy work, hence the implication that a "tofu-dreg project" is a poorly executed project for which the government should accept responsibility.<br />
