Chinese buildings never have a 4th floor for a similar reason and you could not give away a home or cell phone number with four's in it. They save those numbers for foreigners. The number 4 in chinese soundsl like the word for death.

As another tidbit, white cars are used to carry dead bodies.....so almost never see a white car at least in the PRC.
