    You can criticize China for many things, but building infrastructure… is a bold choice.

          A skyscraper falling is a serious disaster and its construction should be heavily regulated by the government. China having the most skyscrapers doesn’t make it okay for any skyscraper to fall and the people responsible should be behind bars. Seeing how often it happens clearly shows that the risk can be ignored and there is a failure in the system.

        Those are private (or whatever goes by private with the ccp) developments, which cut corners for profit. Same happens in Italy for instance, on a lower height.

        Their public infrastructure (bridges, rail, hospitals) are not bad at all.

          China is contrary to a popular belief capitalist country, so yes they are private. I appreciate your feedback regarding public infrastructure and I will remember it when talking about chinese infrastructure again, however falling skyscrapers are still a serious issue which at this scale should have already been addressed by CCP especially by self proclaimed socialist government.

      They have had a ton of infra failures that never should have happened. Definitely fair criticism
