  I can totally see why these people didn't help. Help that poor kid and society will blame the good samaritan for murder...

  
  
  Exactly.
  
  Paraphras of the judge's reasoning from my previous post:
  

  
  Why would you help her if you did not hurt her?

  You hardly have to have biased reasoning to feel insulted when someone says your country straight out "sucks". Also, where in the video does it even say it's common? I don't understand cantonese but the second video basically just stated they were disgusted by the actions of the people there, and were doing their best to investigate it. Seems to me that the people in the thread just started assuming that happened every other day.

  
  
  I wasn't talking about this video in my reply to Jerain. :p I was talking about Chinese response to valid criticism in general. They think their country is the greatest in the world, while they themselves have left it because of the serious problems there or far better opportunities elsewhere. Is it really necessary to list all the ways in which China fails? "Sucks" may be silly, but it'll do. There's no need to get offended. :(

  Pretty harsh ._. but whatever, it doesn't really matter.

  The little girl from the video died now.
  Article is on sankaku so not linking there. Boobs all over the place.
  
  

  
  The 2-year-old girl who was repeatedly run over by Chinese motorists and ignored by no less than 18 people as she lay bleeding in the road has died.
  
  So severe were her injuries that she fell into a coma and was later pronounced braindead, with doctors holding out little hope for her survival.
  
  She finally passed away after lingering several days, with the hospital claiming the cause of death to be “systemic organ failure.”
  
  Meanwhile, the humble rag-picker who dragged her off the road has been feted as a national hero and given $15,000 by corporate benefactors as a reward for her heroic conduct in the face of conceivable risk:
  
  
  
  The circumstances surrounding the girl’s death have provoked outrage and revulsion in China, with millions angrily decrying the undeniably wretched moral character of modern China.
  
  Many Chinese have expressed the opinion that Chinese law is so backwards and corrupt and the Chinese people themselves so immoral and treacherous that they would fear to help anyone in need lest they be turned on and held financially responsible for the incident by the person they helped – as has in fact happened in several widely reported cases.
  
  Others have pointed to the flagrant disregard for the most basic standards of ethical behaviour routinely displayed by China’s government and businesses as evidence of a society which simply does not care about individuals or tolerate them acting morally.
  
  However, with all this universal outrage some will doubtless be left wondering where all these kind-hearted Chinese were as the little girl lay dying in the middle of the road after being run over twice.
  
  Aside from the arrest of the two drivers who ran her over, the only official response has been the provincial government mooting a law to force people to help accident victims (seemingly highly unpopular) and calling for suggestions on how to better promote “socialist morals” amongst the people – although an increasingly large body of Chinese appear to be of the opinion these are what got them into this situation in the first place.

  Seen this 3 times already.
  It's in the Taiwanese News and New Zealand's news.
  
  I was like, what the hell is wrong with guys? Don't just walk pass that little kid.
  She did nothing wrong to these two drivers and these 'strangers'.
  
  I will 'Never' go to China. Except Hong Kong Airport.

  So sad to hear she's dead, but I suppose I couldn't have expected anything else. The poor kid got run over twice.

  Ugh, it's sad that nobody really cared at all. As to the people having to say that they would blame no one for their accident or whatever, that is just sad. Everyone is scared that they'll get turned upon for doing something to help someone else?
  
  The government is sure corrupt there and has been for ages now, and it's just sad that no one bothered to even take a stand against whatever consequences they had, when it was still doing some good compared to what the other people did; ignored her.
