just purely looking at numbers:
china
====
population as of june 2007: 1,321,851,888
country size: 9,596,960 square kilometers
usa
===
population as of june 2007: 301,139,947
country size: 9,629,091 square kilometers
that means there are more than four times more people in china than in us, in a comparably sized area.
shitty buildings + high population density + earthquake = recipe for disaster
