It's common for stuff like periodic elevator maintenance to be skipped and reports falsified. Go down the rabbit hole of videos of people in China falling due to broken ass escalators or elevators. Fucked up shit.

In the West, aside from a common morality that at least puts some value on human life when a person is innocently no opposing you in some way, China barely has that, and it doesn't have the type of government where you can sue people for shit like that.
