I've been too busy to post this (and a few other related news articles) myself, so thank you for bringing this up.
Also, I want to emphasize the government's official insistence to deny that the 豆腐渣工程 has resulted in the collapse of the buildings (and schools in particular). Their official "story" insisted that the magnitude of the earthquake caused the buildings to collapse, so the deaths were the result of an act of nature. Had the deaths been the result of the 豆腐渣工程, somebody would have to bear the responsibility.
i hate to say this, but within those tofu junk schools, many were built with donations such as "hope project". Where did the money go? why were the schools sub-standard? If the gov admits those were tofu junk schools, it's much more than just handing over someone responsible for allowing sub-standard buildings. They would have also explain where the donation (to build sturdy schools) went. I've heard too many stories of the corruption of Chinese officials, so I never donate to projects in China.
Yes, of course. And that is precisely why the Central Government is trying hard to keep a lid on this. To dig deeper would only reveal the extensive level of corruption that is going on at the local (or higher) government levels, and of course we know that in the eyes of the Central Government, this government embarrassment would disrupt "harmony".

p.s. Harmony my a$$, man... there is no harmony when everyone knows it's all fake.
the problem is the same officials are in charge of reconstruction. what makes u think tofu junk schools won't happen again?? this is not about 冤冤相報何時了. the kids who died did nothing to hurt the officials.

You stupid little moron, a piece of trash. I am a reasonable person, unlike you who is anti-China on everything and a self-hating Chinese.
Clearly, some officials are responsible for those tofu schools. When those schools were built, someone had to be responsible for approving those building permits. Now the provincial government is just covering up who was responsible for approving those schools.
