content: Honestly that was about my 1st thought but then I felt like a prick for worrying about cheap imports instead of people that were injured or maybe even killed.

content: Looking at the story the landslide was caused from unstable earth excavated and piled up. Just how much did they dig out and pile that this could slide and destroy so much, and why did they pile up so high as well.Normally when you are moving ground you are moving a hill to fill a valley, not the other way round.

content: Quote from: blueskull on December 21, 2015, 09:13:41 amI know a couple of money focussed people in almost every place I've ever visited.Guangzhou is a far more laid back place than Shenzhen. Hardly any professionals in Shenzhen speak Cantonese. They all migrated in, have no roots there, and only came there for work opportunities. Hardly any professionals in Guangzhou can't speak Cantonese. They are people who's families have been there for generations, and they take care of the place because its the only one they have.
