In China my sympathy often falls on the side of anti-government protesters, but not necessarily in this instance. If rule of law is to come to China, a good place to start would be the enforcement of traffic laws.:
More than 200 people attacked police in southern China’s Guangdong province after officers tried to detain a bus driver who broke a traffic law, state media said.
The incident occurred Saturday after two police officers stopped a bus on a road near the border of Guangzhou and Foshan cities when it waited too long for more passengers, Xinhua news agency said on its website.
The officers demanded to see the bus license but the driver refused, apparently trying to avoid getting a ticket. The ticket collector and driver pushed the police off the bus and drove away.
Dan at Talk Talk China offers tips on how to safely jay-walk in Beijing, I assure you that these guidelines can also be applied to using a crosswalk in Shanghai.
