      Also especially if you don’t care that much about your workers safety. If human lives are just a bunch of statistics to you, things become a lot easier

        There are countries where that is absolutely true, look at any major construction project in the gulf states, and counties where that is much less true.

        At least during my time in China, I saw more workers wearing PPE and taking measures such as using water to stop particulate matter from getting into the air than in Korea and way more than Vietnam and other developing countries. I understand it was very different 20 years ago.

        I don’t have data, but I would be quite surprised if China had significantly more injuries per hour worked in construction than Korea.
