There is also a concept that only close friends and family matters. People outside of this circle do not really count as people. Putting poison in milk is not "good enough" but malicious action.
This sort of things was not uncommon in Victorian times in the UK (and I'm sure everywhere else). This is partly what led to all the health and safety regulations we have.
Many things in China are similar to Victorian Britain: Industrialisation and economic boom, infrastructure boom, can-do attitude even if it breaks a few things along the way, selling whatever to make a profit (In the UK it was not uncommon to cut flour with plaster to make cheaper bread and cause malnutrition in poor children, for example)
