TDD is more vital than ever in Mainland China since any building built more recently that 5 years ago will have been built in a boom period, and shortcuts on workmanship and materials (let alone design) are more likely.
Any building more than 5 years old may not have been maintained correctly, but probably has modern components and installations (e.g. pressure vessels) that need regular servicing/testing.
Add to this, cases of building materials being toxic (Sulfur Tainted Chinese Wallboard / Sheetrock Issue?) and the case for this sort of risk management investment is justified.
Good article. Thanks
