    Beijing is censoring references on China's internet to the skyscraper that collapsed in Bangkok, as the Chinese company involved in the project faces mounting scrutiny in Thailand. The partially constructed tower, set to be the Thai government's State Audit Office, was the only high-rise building to completely crumble in Bangkok last Friday, after a magnitude-7.7 earthquake nearly 1,000 kilometres away in Myanmar shook the Thai capital.
