I heard the Chinese government forces construction companies to complete projects extraordinarily fast. This is to free up personnel and equipment for the multitude of other projects always ready to begin. Cranes are especially in demand. A friend involved in a business venture there said cranes can only be used for a set period of time on most projects.

The old Soviet Union was similar I am lead to believe
But that video, that just incredible, China, what a complete disgrace, unimaginable that buildings just collapse
That a hotel collapses like that, I doubt it was a conspiracy, just dreadful building standards
