The strong earthquake in Tibet region of china, its kill around 589 people. The serious earthquake collapsed all buildings in the western yushu. A lot of people are serious wounded and loss is property. They live now in platform and public places. And the magnitude of the earthquake is 7.1 and also tsunami warning issued at the sea side areas.
The main reason of excess damage in china is problem in the building codes. They hardly have any building codes, and what they have usually can be over looked. It’s have some buildings or the don't have anything. In San Jose, California, after a 7.2, no one got killed, and only a few buildings had serious cracks, don't think anyone got seriously hurt. I have seen a whole city in the Philippines, Baguio, get destroyed, and now it is listed as one of the best planned cities in the world. All buildings codes are strictly enforced and no problem, the city would probably take a 8.2 earth quake and probably no one would be killed.
