“We blame the local government for this,” one mother said. “The central government doesn’t know because local media haven’t reported what happened.”

Can China put building regulations in effect, inspectors on sight that will make sure a job foreman is not throwing an extra shovel of sand into the cement mix to pick up a little extra change? That is a tough undertaking.

At any rate, it is interesting and a bit ironic that this quote made it all the way around the world, even as some - including this woman - wonder if it made it to Beijing and the central committee. They read it just like we are reading it here. Her message got out.

I don't know. We did it here.

True. But if it gets to everyone in the world except the authorities who can make some changes it doesn't do much to change things.
