POPSChina quake despair turns to anger I suppose the press was bound to find an area to "blame". It is a pity, but corruption rulz. Darwin, after the cyclone in !974, was full of shonky builders (many were not, I am quick to add) who offered bribes to the housing inspectors. Not all rebuilt houses were cyclone proof. It would be interesting to compare all countries. The experience we have had with toys made in China is proof enough that there is corruption there as well.
