The funny thing is I'm almost certain it is aluminum
They do make Chinese broadswords out of it at least i think

I could make some guesses why but ill wait to see if someone else posts, they may know more

The one in the video is what they refer to as Wushu steal... it is actually more like a spring steal than an aluminum, it makes a loud noise wen you thrust it and it looks a sounds really cool for preformance, but beyond that it ain't worth much.

A good friend of mine (retired LEO) who was a Aikido/Kendo/Karate guy referred to those type of Chinese weapons as Boing Boing Flap Flap swords.

This and it underlies the notion it's not a weapon. Therefore the gov't has nothing to fear from an armed, albeit medieval styled, populous. It's for performance & exhibition only.

Just to clarify, lian Huan isn't a persons name?

Correct. Lian Huan Dao is "connected" or "connecting" or "interconnected" or something leaning that way.
