All this boils down to the good ol' Asian concept of face / image.
Superficial beautification is of importance above all other aspects.
Any loss of face is not in the least bit tolerable.
Not surprised by this at all.
I daresay you should do whatever it takes to put on a good show, be it emulate / imitate or even simulate, but at least cover your tracks properly.
If Japan were hosting the Olympics, their attention to detail would've been profound and they'd have left nothing to chance.
Ironically, this might cost the Chinese some unexpected loss of face.
The West is obviously outraged and will slander the Chinese for quite a while.
