What did that mean for the remaining instances of the same building? I imagine they were all built to the same high quality China is known for.
Actually this one wasn’t a case of bad construction quality, but bad oversight on surrounding projects. They compromised the foundation by digging out a bunch of earth next to it for another project.

Found a wiki article about it cause I have to turn off my VPN everytime I accesses the wayback machine.
That seems like a lot of fallout from digging to close to the foundation of a completed building. I suppose the investigation kept digging up more corruption, so they kept throwing people in jail.
Nice this (lengthy) article has a handy (if tiny) graphic of what the problems were:

In that case, the building might actually be built to a very high quality? I've never seen a building do that. I would think it'd save lives.
Like those 1960 mercedes that'd survive a car crash, but people were splattered around inside.
Also, the building looks like plastic, lol.
Right? I'm genuinely impressed it stayed in one piece. It looks like most of the windows are still intact too!
I’m guessing that because the ground beside it wasn’t retained properly, it may have slowly leaned (like the famous pizza joint) and instead of stopping it, the just allowed it to continue to a relatively gentle fall.

I think the oversight must clearly have been someone holding the blueprints sideways while they were constructing it
I mean given that the building still looks fine and did not just smash to rubble boy is that constructed well
