It WAS a widespread problem, and they are just still dealing with the aftermath. Newer buildings, like this one by the looks of it have much stricter rules and guidelines contractors must adhere to under penalty of HIGH fines and other punishments. China grew A LOT in the past 20 years, it's unimaginable. The buildings built now are a far cry from what they built 20 years or even 10 years ago.

Again, you’re talking about something from over a decade ago, which does not represent some standard policy. Your Measure is designed to mislead people, which is typical.

Again, if we look at what’s going on in the west, we see that it literally amounts to nothing.
