I remember being told this, there was a group from the West, a mix of architects and Engineers who were talking to a Chinese construction company. During the visit to their offices, they asked how they had so much employment and be environmental. The Chinese delegation boasted that they utilised the labour force of China over heavy machines including hand mixing the cement.
The architects were blown away while EVERY western Engineer eyed the exit points realising how many buildings in China were deathtraps..

The last thing the Chinese care about is the 'environmental' aspect. You don't think they'd use the corpses of fallen workers as ballast for their foundations?
I can't remember if it was environmental or some other way to bullshit 'advanced construction techniques'
Point was the engineers could IMMEDIATELY tell it was bullshit and that is one of the reasons they currently have a housing crisis as they have A LOT of unoccupied buildings people bought intending for a return on investment...
..only to find them all so poorly constructed they CAN'T be occupied. They have the most modern ghost cities currently.
It's called "tofu dregs" construction. Their quality control is non existent, and there have been new buildings that collapsed before construction was done.
Increasing unemployment rates WILL increase that, by an enormous amount.
Only issue is HOW they have such high employment.

What's worse is that people are using those abanadoned aprtments as "bone ash" burial sites for loved ones because it's cheaper than buying actual burial plots: https://www.wionews.com/world/china-moves-to-end-bone-ash-burials-in-empty-apartments-here-s-why-1774963516610
