I'm sorry to be that guy, but as racist as it sounds, it is not really a joke. The way insurance in China works, you end up paying less for actually killing someone than you do for horribly injuring them, because then you're on the hook for their medical care as well as everything else. It's not even malicious- the average salary in China is something like 400 USD per month, but there are wildly disparate income levels in that estimate.

The reason I know that is my (Chinese) boss (in China) at my last job told me as a warning. Like, do not gently caress around when crossing the street, because even if you just get clipped and fall down, you might get backed up over.

As far as I can tell, it's something that definitely and very publicly happened once, but isn't codified in law or anything, it was just an insane judgement that made headlines and now it's turned into "watch out because this happens regularly over there"

Lol at the goon trying to defend the "me Chinese" joke format though

"Over there" being where I physically was at the time, for the record!

It's far more common for people to be in minor accidents and then act super-injured in the hopes of a payoff. My boss also told me to do that if I got hit and the driver stopped. She was a little weird.

I think they shouldn't, but don't have any authority to enforce it though, so.

Well, no...I was really struggling with sadbrains and very isolated. However, I think it would have been a gas if I'd been in a bigger and more accessible city. Actually, downtown was cool, it just took me between 90-120 minutes to get there and I get carsick on buses, so I was pretty lonely. I guess I can't say I recommend it or don't recommend it; China is a very interesting place and I think everyone has a different experience there.

This is the same in the US by the way. Plaintiff lawyer is much happier with a brain-damaged client who needs care for the rest of his life than one who is killed.
