Except that "regulatory capacity" when every petty official and his brother are on the take. Should a third of the buildings that collapsed last month have collapsed? (At least one of the schools that crumbled in on itself was 160 km from the epicenter. That just *SUCKS*. It's pathetic, and every Chinese person who keeps quite and goes along to not cause waves is just as guilty of those children's deaths as the corrupt construction company owners and foremen who ordered the shoddy work, and the corrupt government inspectors who let shoddy workmanship slide by. At least your country isn't averse to 9mm ventilation...)
