I lived in China for close to a decade and speak fluent Chinese. They may cut corners, but they are not stupid or suicidal. There are a million different things that could be stored in that cabinet, but not deadly viruses. If he were handling deadly viruses he would be wearing a Positive Pressure Personal Suit.
No but they are ignorant, intentionally left that way from the gov. Cost is everything, human time is cheaper, and life isn't worth much.
I could totally see a mid level manager saving 50 bucks on a cabinet not caring what it housed. He would just tell the employees to be careful as the maneuvered around the 1980's green desks.
You can see this at shenzhen's window of the world where there are common sense safety instructions disgused as a show.
