How many more buildings in Cina are built that poorly?

re: 30 story is low-rise

In those countries high-rise is defined as anything with more stories than the local fire department can reach.

Was it about Shanghai that I saw the news item last week that a construction company had whipped up a skyscraper in 6 days flat? Maybe this is the downside.
