Of course they have building codes.
They have to have building codes so the government bureaucrats have a reason for the developers to bribe them. Developers won’t pay bribes if there are no rules to get around.

On the bright side, the building stayed wonderfully intact after the foundation failed, allowing the structure to fall over upon it’s side!That's the biggest surprise at first glance.
Notice the base of the building embedded in the loose soil while the upper portion is much higher. Excavated loose soil was piled fairly high and acted as near fluid cushion. Speaks to the lack of structural bearing analysis....the uprooted visible foundation piles attest to that.
Somebody misplaced a few beads on the abacus while calculating...

You would think that all buildings in a few thousand feet will have to stay unoccupied until that building is dismantled and the engineers shot.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
China doesn’t need building codes when the superiority of the Chinese Communist Party is so completely obvious!
LOL!!!

If Chinese buildings hadn't tipped over before, due to poor foundations and/or poor engineering, I'd suspect a covert weapon test.
