Default Building codes in China

Those pilings look WAY too short, to my untrained eye. No more than
about 20 feet long. They use longer pilings than that when building in
mudflats and sandbars in USA, for buildings less than half as tall.
Unless, of course, half the pilings are still down in the holes, and
they just snapped off due to crappy materials.
