But nobody else would be so reckless to build nuclear power plants on the ring of fire, or in major hurricane areas. Only Japan and the USA do. (Diablo, Fukushima, South Texas - even a crazy experimental one with overlarge vessels)

It's clear China has the exact issues you described. About half their nuclear power plants are in major typhoon areas; and plants in fujian and sichuan (totaling a half-dozen) are subject to major earthquakes.
