It was an attempt to discredit the source because the news makes China look bad.
China's building codes say any building of eight or more floors requires an elevator. So, naturally, developers built forests of 7 story buildings. No elevators required. The apartments on the upper floors are cheaper.
These buildings are six floors, and I guess they have a lot of elderly residents. So, someone came up with an innovative idea about how to get some elevators in there. I like it, personally. They even used Chinese democracy to make it happen, by mobilizing the residents and voting for the change.
