Alright, I think tofu-dregs are mostly an issue that happened at a scale once and the reporting is mostly happening as the broken buildings are showing up. I could imagine the issue that caused this has been worked on by now
That's closer to the truth. China builds more than anyone, so by sheer numbers there were going to be some people skirting their responsibilities. State intervention and oversight has largely rectified the problem, which was more prevalent in the 90s/2000s.
