My guess is they were and wanted a quick and cheap build. All kinds of shortcuts are possible and likely when you have that political weight behind the site. But it will be the lowly building inspectors and contractors who literally get the firing squad. BTW, my understanding is the official party line on last years earthquake in China that caused such massive loss of life in school buildings is in. No shoddy construction etc. It was just the intensity that destroyed all the schools even though many of the surrounding buildings fared much better. And anyone questioning this determination has a good chance of "reeducation". Anyone want to take bets on if the local communist party bosses were in on the development of the site.
