On July 12, 2021, the auxiliary building of Suzhou Four Seasons Kaiyuan Catering Management Service Co., Ltd., No. 188, Youche Road, Songling Street, Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, collapsed, resulting in 17 deaths, 5 injuries, and direct economic losses of about 26.15 million yuan. The direct cause of the accident was that without any reinforcement and safety measures, all the load-bearing transverse walls and most of the internal longitudinal walls of the six-bay room on the ground floor were blindly removed, resulting in the interruption of the force transmission path of the superstructure, and the ring beams of the second-floor floor were not enough to bear the load from the upper second- and third-floor walls and the second-floor floor, resulting in the continuous collapse of the auxiliary house from the bottom up.

On August 29, 2020, a collapse accident occurred at the Juxian Hotel in Chenzhuang Village, Taosi Township, Xiangfen County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, resulting in 29 deaths, 28 injuries and direct economic losses of 11.6435 million yuan. After investigation, the direct cause of the accident was the poor integrity of the building structure of the Juxian Hotel, and after many illegal additions, the load-bearing brick columns and the roof of the second floor of the north building were seriously overloaded, and the impact of heavy rainfall was not ruled out, which eventually led to the overall collapse.

After the trial of the court, it was ascertained that Yang Moumou, the actual controller of Xinxing Electromechanical Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. and Xinjia Hotel, violated the relevant national regulations on urban and rural planning, construction and safety production, and in order to seek improper economic benefits, in the absence of legal construction procedures, hired unqualified personnel, built and rebuilt steel structure buildings in violation of laws and regulations, and obtained administrative licenses by fraud, and the safety responsibility was not implemented for a long time, which was the main reason for the accident.
