It's China.

There has been a buzz on the Chinese boards about the
toddler hit by a car. Having spent over a year on the ground in China, I can say that I completely understand the response. The problem that I have found in China is that it is a liability to take on any responsibility as the government or people will use it against you. As a non-Chinese that travels off the beaten path, the only thing that I am afraid of is the police and military. They want my money, they want my passport, and the only thing that has saved me this far is that I do not look like I will hit you the throat and run. I would also walk by a bleeding child. I have walked by the new born females on the streets of Harbin in the winter because it would bring attention to myself, I would be forced to pay a bribe, and explain where I got the child because "children are not disposed off on the street" (that's a quote from the police officier to which I mentioned what was down the streets).

I'm terribly sorry China, but you think that you are great, and you are actually a scary place. The 'win at all costs' culture just means marginalization of those who are willing to accept responsibility. My Chinese friends will disagree with that statement, but I will point out the possibly underaged olympic team, the milk, and my favorite: "My father is Li Gang!"
