It has to do with those local areas not being able to afford the good stuff in the first place.

Recently, a brand new school in China collapsed during an earthquake killing numerous students, causing public outrage.  It turns out that the builders and contractors skimped on the actual design of the project and comprimised the integrity of the project, so China punished these people and made an example out of them.

So yes, there are cases where structures are poorly built or, most of the time, just not built to withstand extreme forces, but there are also many examples of builders violating their contracts.  If you are familar with construction in America, our contractors arent that great when unsupervised either, which is why my city requires officials to check the foundations of all buildings.  If the builder messes up on the foundation a lot of times they just cover it up and dont tell the homeowner.

Yeah... and those people were punished.

Someone committed a crime and was punished... under the law.  It wouldn't of been any more illegal with more laws.

The only difference here is that those people were punished.

Where as Governments rarely are.
