No we haven't! Runway excursion/incursion is still one of the major causes of aircraft accidents. Lion Air Bali, Garuda Jogjakarta, American Airlines Caribbean, Air France Toronto, Qantas Bangkok, Turkish Airlines Kathmandu and thats just off the top of my head.
And that's not counting the accidents and incidents that happen in China that are never published as a matter of policy. Especially when you look at the number of airlines in China. For example Air China with 390 aircraft of which 122 Boeing 737's, China Southern 541 aircraft of which 177 are 737's, China Eastern 684 aircraft (172 A320 and 122 Boeing 737's). There are bound to be a few hundred prangs to learn from among that lot over the past decade and earlier and yet we will never hear about them
