@@sanders194539 I've watched the Denver-metro area go from shaky to bad when it comes to waning morality, and the population has been exploding over the past 10-15 years.
I had an incident while I was in China back in 2014. I was on holiday and travelling through some areas along the coast and one day I got sick. It was terrible, I had extremely painful stomach cramps, I basically hunched over and collapsed against a wall, groaning in pain and thankfully some nearby local Chinese folk did come by and see if I was OK and called an ambulance for me (turns out it was a particularly bad case of food poisoning, oh street food you are a harsh mistress) But they told me that if I was Chinese, they wouldn't have helped me. Since westerners aren't known for pulling scams in China, if a westerner starts acting like that it's very unlikely that it's a scam.
I remember I had a ex-colleague who immigrated from China, she said described something very similar to what this video is showing. She once saw a little girl collapsed on a pavement and nobody lifted a finger to help. And this issue actually goes further than this, she said that if -hypothetical- you are driving a car and hit someone, you would be liable for the entirety of their medical bills potentially for the rest of their life. BUT, if you actually killed the person in said accident, you are just hit with a fine and case is closed (along with some probable prison time, usually quite short). You can probably imagine which option most people took in China. So there are cases where in car accidents, the drivers actually ensure the person they hit died.
I was teaching English in a Chinese university for many years. I cannot remember exactly when this social phenomena started but I became aware of it because a lot of students chose such topic for my Oral presentation class. Topics like " Should we help someone in need of help in the Public?" At first I was confused why was it an issue when I know Chinese people are pretty helpful especially towards their elderly. I didn't know what they were talking about until I dug deeper and discovered the reason that some old people were scheming and framing innocent Samaritans for money. My students were debating to help or not to help, some were willing to help but they need to video first, majority were not , too afraid of the repercussions. I was really shocked but the people's hands are tied. I felt real pity for my Chinese students and friends.
Years ago in the UK someone I knew was walking home with his girlfriend after a night out and they came across a guy who had been stabbed and they helped him and called an ambulance. The police arrested him accusing him of the attack, saying it was probably a fight over his girlfriend, luckily the victim recovered and told the police it wasnt him. If he had died the innocent guy may have ended up in prison on a murder charge.
My husband had that happen but someone had been beaten up and were unconscious. We called the police and they put my husband in the back of a police car then the guy woke up and was like wait why are you arresting him?! So they let him go.

This is messed up on so many levels. Society cannot function without some trust and charity. Society might exist but this certainly isn’t functioning (Edit: forgot word ‘is’)
When I was 8 months pregnant I fell in front of around forty people, at least 90% of them reached out to help me. I was so grateful and touched I started crying. 🤭
I live in America where I thing I want to move away because of how disgusted I am but then I see this and think humans are all the same , small portion are brave and good 😔
Several years ago, I slipped on the street in New Orleans; it was indeed slippery. Many people came over and asked if I needed help. After hitting my head, everything seemed to move in slow motion, and I couldn't quite grasp what was happening." I found Americans to be very helpful and caring. I am grateful for their kind action.
I have family member who lives in Australia that loves China so much that he constantly praising China. But strangely never left Australia to live in China that he loves so dearly.
I knew a bunch of leftists in college, big fans of socialism and communism. I offered to show them around the next time I visited China if they could get their tickets. Cricket sounds.
@@nyarlat2609Mind-numbingly stupid parasites. I'm surrounded by these ungrateful degenerates at my University, they seem hellbent on proving that Darwinism functions on a continental scale.
@@nyarlat2609 There's always some dickhead who turns a subject into their political bias. This has nothing to do with left, right or whatever, this is about autocracy and what it does to society, be it perceived left or right, it's democracy that humanises, autocracy that destroys humanity.

A few years back a woman jumped from the Washington Ave bridge over the Mississippi on the U of Minnesota campus. At this time there was a homeless encampment nearby. One man from the camp jumped in, swam out, and brought her back. He then shied away from all media, wanted no reward, and thats all I know. If an American from one of the most stigmatized, downtrodden, misunderstood, and marginalized groups in our society still has the empathy to risk his life (this is the Mississipi, its big) for a total stranger who had chosen to end their life... well, it brings tears to my eyes to see this situation in China. Not just for the obvious reasons, but because it reminds me how fortunate I am to have been born in this country, even if I have to sleep in the park.
When I worked in China I was warned several times never to help someone because they will sue you and you will have to pay them all your money. So whenever I saw someone fall down, or clearly need help carrying things, I had to just ignore them. It was very difficult.
What if you filmed yourself approaching and asking, getting permission, and all that? Maybe I missed where he mentioned it, but what about for just calling an ambulance?
I think that here in America people are also hesitant to help or get involved. For example if you witness a crime witness an accident etc you could be summoned to court and all of a sudden your involved in the case so in reality I don't think it's just China I think that's everywhere. Also people in general are just apathetic I've seen news reports of people just walking by while an elderly person is getting mugged and no one gets involved.
Winston's video is 100% true. About 5 years ago - I found an old dying man on the streets in China (he appeared to have been hit by a car). Everybody walked past him as if he were invisible, as he lie in a pool of his own blood. When I saw this, I started screaming for help (I was new in China and didn't know how to call authorities.) and tried bringing attention to the dying man, but nobody wanted anything to do with me. I finally I found some young individuals in their early 20's who spoke English and were willing to acknowledge me. They called an ambulance and as soon as it became apparent somebody else was handling the problem - a giant crowed formed and suddenly, like magic, everybody could see the dying man.
@@harrysmith8338 Oh so you have read my comment on this and posted the exact same nonsensical comment. It's absolutely not bullshit and I'm not the only one to have seen this, nor has it been the only time I've seen this.

It's a very common occurrence and and Winston literally has video footage of numerous occasions of this in this very video. *You* are bullshit
@@harrysmith8338that was my thought. china has cameras everywhere. if i help him up the camera would see it. what would be the point of the CCP lying about there being video footage available?
I thought the saying is that this feels like something out of the Twilight Zone. Now it has been replaced by South Park? Don't know if I should laugh or cry... Fortunately, I don't have to explain what the Twilight Zone is. Anyone that doesn't know can easily look on Wiki
Really? That's not good, I was told years ago that in Germany you could be sued by the person you tried to help. Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't.
I don't agree with making not helping a criminal offence, I think that is going too far. Here in Canada you can be sued by the victim, but... they must have a very, very, very good reason to sue. Although it is an issue here where someone may not want to help if physical assistance is required to help them as there is scammers here too. But nowhere as bad as what we have seen in China.
@stuartclarke3171 It's called the good samaritan law in the USA. It is illegal to sue someone who is merely trying to help you. I've known about that law my whole life. I think it definitely helps you feel a lot more relaxed in the idea of trying to help somebody with something. A good law. AND extremely necessary in 🇨🇳
6:10 I was with my Lebanese friend and his Hong Kong Chinese wife at one of the opulent hotels in Dubai. My friends wife, as we were sitting down, apologized for what was about to happen when she noticed a large collection of Chinese mainland tourists coming in to sit down too. The restaurant staff brought out the snow crab and there was a virtual riot between the Chinese mainland tourists to be the first to get the snow crab. Within a couple minutes there was none left for any of the other diners. It was quite, quite disgusting and I'll never forget it. No morals no filter, nothing, just unadulterated selfishness.
welcome to the end goal of an authoritative capitalistic society, America and other European countries will follow suit unless leaders specifically avoid it.
Like rich Russian jews entering a duty free store. Omg they knock over the salespeople to take everything off the shelf and get back on their tour bus to cross the border
This is strategic. If generations grow up under this fear of helping, they don't help. If the person needing help feels no one cares, it makes them hard and they don't want to help because they were not helped. They began to loose empathy because no one had it for them. The people being taught not to help and walk by, suppress their emotions and before long they walk by and it don't even bother them anymore. Maybe..even blame the victim. It's a vicious cycle. Making society more and more hard, more and more fearful, more and more incapable of trust or true love toward one another. Soon you breed the humanity right out of society and you end up with robots. Selfish people who only look out for number one. Their government wants it that way. Easy to control. It is abuse on a wide scale.
Ok, how does selfish control the selfish, after all, it more likely the selfish control the selfishless, since the selfishless is willing accept and help, so selffishless is more easy to control, unless you have other info that would confirm selfish as controlling selfish that's easier?? Since selffish likely to ignore the selffish, like government, so selfish breed selfish. Unless the fear which higher on selfish, so they are less brave, which lead to fearful accept, so not by willing as selfishless has more courage to accept and help. So, from love to hate, or more accurate from love out of love to neglect out of fear. Fear reduce emotion even more until there no fear helping, well, for love that's no fear to help so out of love, so when there is fear so help out of non-fear eventually which fear is an emotion, so help by telling another person to help so they will, so not from within, but outside.
@@khaliffoster3777 I'm sorry, I don't understand all you were trying to say, but I will address the first part that I did understand. I could say many things, but I will keep it simple. Selfish people will do anything to save their own skin or improve their situation. Selfishness makes unhappy and bitter people and is a breeding ground for sadism. The last emperor of China Puyi talks of his cruelty and spent the last part of his life trying to be different. Think of his life, ripped away from his parents at less than 3 yrs of age, surrounded by no real family and love (except for a wet nurse that was dismissed when he was 8), just a political pawn deprived of relationships and love. He did everything he could to save his own life. He had no courage to do what was right because he had no moral compass. I see his story as a very sad one in which he was done so wrong. Selfish people are predictable people. The government is a entity of authority and one you will not defeat. If evil or unfair laws are passed, selfish people will not sacrifice to demand they be overturned, they will not fight for their neighbor they will take the path of apathy. It's not their problem, is their motto. It doesn't concern me, there is no benefit in it for me, so I will keep my nose clean and do what I have to do. Selfish people will not band together and work for change, selfish people will do what it takes to save themselves, selfish people have no integrity, selfish people do not care about the plight of others because many times they themselves are hurt and bitter. Self..LESS people will suffer for what they believe in because they will give of themselves for the greater good (ask any real parent that loves their kids). They will band together and fight for change. They will call out wrong. Even though, I DO agree with you that selfless people can be easily manipulated, I was referring to society as a whole, a nation of people. But even on a personal level, I am talking about confident selfless people not trauma abused people with no confidence, there is a difference.
Ok, as for trauma abused with no confidence and selfless people with confidet, so ya are not including confidence selfsih people, so all selfish is not confidence so afraid and insecure, so between two system: selfish and selfishless and with it, non-confidence and confidence? That's connect to lower part that you don't understand that selfish can be control which you say easier to control, even above you say selfishless is to control, but short term selfless is easier to control but long term, they are not easy, as for selfish people is harder to control short term, but longer term easier to control because the end result of long term, the selfishless will have courage fight back and selfish will not have courage to right as no emotion to exist since it has been remove so easy to accept as focus themselves to gain the benefit of government's statement like 'don't do it', the selfish will accept as an answer since it benefit them to not do it otherwise, the negative will be give to selfish people like hurting, death, etc, so not willing to accept the negative, but the selfishless is willing to accept the negative. At end result, you say robot that is the feeling has been remove so focus all inward, so no external feeling except internal feeling to be accept or not, but selfishless focus external feeling, not internal feeling. One is negative spiral process and one is positive spiral process. Negative begat negatve to the destruction of external positive and construction of external negative; Positive begat positive to the construction of external positive and destruction of external negative. @@GoodLiving7181
@@kenjifugimoto You are right, fear is their anchor and Human is their anchor, so they rely on self which is selfless, so the government create a fear so they rely on self since they need themselves so they ignore other, so selfish is need as selfless is dangerous so what is need is selfish, so has to revolt base on selfish, I want this, not this, so that imply selfish, like children rebel to parent, so that selfish is need like parent give timeout and punish the children which parent is selfish? Well, because of the negative that exist so they rebel against the negative so when they can't rebel to the negative so they becomes the negative so they rebel each other so the selfish reigns. As I say humans are their anchor, not Jehovah that is problem. They need to learn Jehovah so love will reign, not neglect or hate. So, it's same as north Korea that reject other humans in flavor to North Korea's president but in China, so it's not in flavor to Chila's leader but in flavor to each self in relative to other since I say selfless is dangerous so they focus themselves as the China's leader focus himself.
In France (and probably in the rest of Europe), not giving assistance to someone in danger is a criminal offense. You are prosecuted for “non-assistance à personne en danger“
Same thing in Philippines. It’s a criminal offense not to help a person in danger or in need of help specially if person is in a place where no person could ever help him but the bystander who pass by and saw him
If it happens in Ph, almost all people in the street would help and would even ask your whereabouts and your family they can contact to bring you home safely
I’m self employed and because of this I have a ‘never turn down work’ policy. Well I broke this rule last year when offered a weeks work in China. I’m just not risking eating sewer oil or being kidnapped by the ccp and used as a political pawn .
Yea I would not go to China unless I was on a tour and even then you are going to just see what they want you to so you are not really seeing the country.
@@JAM661 Wow that is nonsense... you are more likely to get scammed on a tour. What led you to thinking that tours are okay but traveling to a country isn't? That is some nonsense line of thinking.
@@wolfrunning1 Yeah, they were getting there before communism came in. They might’ve had a chance if Russia hadn’t gotten it’s claws into their politics.
Talking as if capitalism was immune to autocracy. Communism and Capitalism are economic models first and politcal ideas second. Edit: And modern china is far from the kind of communism you expect. It behaves just like a hyper capitalist country but talks like a red one.
In France, you may be fined or go to prison for not helping someone in distress. "Non assistance a la personne en danger" is a criminal offence. Whatever the law, if you fall, there will be plenty people around you to assist and enquire about your wellbeing, wether you are in a big town or at the countryside.
Same law exists in Belgium but people here prefer to film instead of going to assist people in distress. I had it happen a couple of months ago. A woman was lying on the ground near a big railway station, she was crying, saliva running from her mouth. Everybody was just looking from afar. Nobody went over the check on her and ask if she was ok or if she needed help and needed me to call an ambulance or something. i was the only one. Only after i did there was a second person that approached and stood next to us. Disgusting mentality "modern" people have these days. There have been plenty of experiments in big cities, likewise in France, where people just continue on their daily business without assisting people in distress.
shut up france is in chaos with your muslim immigrants rioting killing and stealing. so much for your "Non assistance a la personne en danger" criminal offence.

@@arnaud4588 You can't compare rural villages with cities, apples and oranges. For me it happened in Antwerp. I lived in Wallonia for 10 years and for starters the people are more socially inclined than Flanders, where i live now and for this alone would move again to Wallonia. Even just saying hello gets you strange looks in Flanders, whereas in Wallonia almost everybody says hello or makes a sign to acknowledge each others presence. But the larger cities in Wallonia are not spared from this either. Countless experiments around the world have been done with exactly what i wrote, everybody just walking by or just freezing, it's called the bystander effect.

Let me speak for you. I am Chinese. And I am feeling totally ASHAME of my culture about this. I am the one who would try to help. And people thinks that I am crazy.
You shouldn't feel ashamed. This isn't about the culture, this is about means to keep the society divided. It's a political issue, not a cultural issue. Stay strong! 💛🇨🇳💛
Its dangerous the way its heading when people become blind to greed and everything becomes so unpersonal you are slowly digging that pit into the abyss it wont bode well when man does not want to stand up for other men.
Real question, why aren't the laws changed? I can understand that the judge would side with the law, as it is currently written, but isn't it in the best interest in both the CCP and the population of China to change this law?
@ekot0419 Is Chinese culture mostly fucked up? Fucked up in many way? Is it due to your history of Communism and the CCP? Do you think there is hope that Chinese culture will improve?
@@newtubers4676 : Yes, I was thinking that myself. If the regime can prevent people coming together to act as one, then they will not be able to overthrow the regime. Similar to employers trying to prevent employees forming a union to improve their working conditions.
The scam of a fake injury is being practiced here in Canada. An elderly lady was pulling out of her driveway, then a homeless man falls near her car saying that she hit him. Lucky her neighbours saw the whole thing and called the police witnessing that the guy is a scammer.
This mentality started a long time ago. I remember in 2011 a little 2-year-old girl suffered a hit and run. She was run over twice the whole-time pedestrians walked by like nothing was happening. Her name was Wang Yue also referred to as Little Yue Yue. It was all caught on surveillance video, it's really gut wrenching to watch.
I had a friend who lived in China for a couple of years. He left China because of this very reason he was so disturbed by the fact that people do not help each other he left as soon as he could.
Some years ago I read in the UK Daily Mail, a comment by a well-traveled Brit businessman on this very topic. If a Chinese ever took a stricken Chinese stranger to a hospital, he would be liable for the bills, so it's one reason to ignore helping. This came on the heels of a leaked video that had gone viral, showing a girl toddler who'd wandered alone out the back of a store and into a narrow alley. She was run over by a trucker who stopped but didn't get out. You could see the look of worried self-preservation on his face before he stupidly backed up over her, and drove off. She was left lying still in the road, with no passersby daring to check on her. Finally, an old lady did pull the child off the road, but of course there was no report on her condition. China was embarrassed by this after outrage poured in from Westerners who'd seen the video. I'd guess that the only official action taken, would be an order to take down that alley's camera!
@@botmoderator3405yhats actually happened. Also a woman donated her liver / kidney (an organ) to her bf and after he recovered he dumped her. Maybe china knows something we dont. Dont help or else you'll get scammed.
Around ten years ago, Korea had the same problem. Good Samaritans were stuck with medical bills after being successfully sued by the people they had helped. Dashcam sales went through the roof and every shopowner had cameras installed inside AND outside their stores to protect themselves from liability lawsuits. But then a Good Samaritan bill was passed and now no good deed goes punished anymore.
When I as in Japan, I had an older woman pull the stunt right in front of me. It wasn't towards me, but to a group of people a few steps ahead. Vehicular scamming was also common when I was in Tokyo for a couple years.
All the Chinese wumao commenters trying to lie that it doesn't happen in only China and using China's known propaganda😂 the video is proving itself right here! Sad sad sad wumao Chinese
This is very true. I lived for 1year in Tianjin China. We have a live band performing there. While our band was onstage, a guy pretending to be drunk kept on throwing ice cube on us insinuating a fight, provoking us. He is shouting on us, spitting on the floor and gave us the dirty finger. But we dont want trouble so we ignore the man. Then when we went downstage after the show, one of our band member walk to the toilet but the rude chinese local crossed his path and intentionally bumped him. Then the chinese guy pretended to fall on the floor. We were bewildered on the audacious act. So we ask hey are you okay. But as he stand up he created a scene that he was pushed. And called the police while his partner video recorded on his phone the part he when he fell. Soon we spent the night in the police station not understanding anything because we dont understand their language. We were being asked for a fine. All of a sudden we were surprised to see that rude Chinese guy with a bump/bruise what seems to be a hematoma on his forehead. They threaten to sue us unless we compensate the guy. Good thing our manager followed the police station with the video clip showing after we left (we were taken by the police on a different patrol car) it showed on the cctv that that rude chinese guy was actually banging the side of his head on the wall to self-inflict his injury. Then he followed to the police station and blaming us. We were pressured since we are foreigners and we don't understand what they are saying. In the end the police and that rude guy who started all the trouble was negotiating with our manager to pay them so we can be set free. There were 4 of us and we paid 2,000. yuan each like a total of 8,000. yuan just to be set free. There no medical exam or any other translators. We felt so defeated, disgusted and fuming mad inside but there's nothing we can do. That happened 9 years ago, around 2015.
It's most likely that this happened because the owner of the place was not paying his connections in the plice office, or even worth, he had no connection in the police yet had the audacity to run a nightclub.
Two things popped into my mind: 1 - They are training their citizens to disregard any feeling of empathy towards others. Imagine a chinese army that has been raised like that. What are they willing to do to an enemy? 2 - It is the first step of population control. Let people die and don't help them. Absolutely appauling. I have never herd of this before. Sounds like a horror movie.
You must be joking. Chinese ppl all over the world, most of them don't have emotions except greed. Empathy, sympathy is not a thing. It's called self-centered & money money money. None of them know what real happiness is. To them, money buys happiness. You have no money, you are nothing, you are useless.
Absolutely, they are conditioning them to not trust one an other or to help stand up for each other. They will rat on each other out of fear. Totally broken submissive society.
in some ways this is already happening in America, with everyone accusing others of wrong doing, women in America have demonized men in general, i find it very common to hear from men that they will never help a female simply because women in general are known to lie and accuse men of doing things they didn't do, and because these women know the vast majority of society is on their side as women could do nothing wrong, they are sugar and spice and everything nice, we live in a culture of "believe all women" it's causing more and more men to ignore them. how did this happen you ask? feminism, which is a tool of communisis to subvert a society to new social norms, to cause people to lose empathy for each other, because it's not something that will just effect women, this will also effect men as women will also follow this behavior. the CCP probably doesn't want to admit this truth or any truth for that matter, they just want everyone to be their worker slaves and who cares what happens to their society in the long run in the meantime? their government did this to themselves and idiot children taught by idiot communist teachers caused this to happen in their society, and it will continue so long as that government body continues to exist.
This brings to mind, we were on a bus tour of Italy and having a great time. We were taken from Rome to Sorento via bus. On the way there were stops for bathroom breaks. At one stop we got there just before a bus load of Chinese . We walked our normal pace but the chinese ran like they were being chaased by some monster. One Chinese lady tried to push me out of the way and being a polite Canadian I thought for a moment to let her by but seeing others push my wife I just gave a good old hockey hip check and the Chinese lady went flying not to be seen by me again and the one trying push past my wife got an elbow to the shoulder, stopped her in her tracks. I hear some cheers from our crew and we continued on. Every where we went in Italy were there was Chinese tourists they were the rudest and had the worst manners.
@@noobie1890there is a reason they are considered the worst tourist. Think about before main land Chinese were traveling regularly the issue was Americans being loud…. I went to england and was apologized to by an older man, because he used to bad talk Americans before the Chinese.
And then everybody clapped... you are trying to tell us that is what happened? I get you were happy with yourself but nobody else was paying attention to you in a crowd. Stop the cap little man.
Imagine visite venice while thousands of chinese tourists enter the city, go on a gondola and after 1 1/2 they all gone. This day no gondola was free, but it was like a flood. It was scary.
I helped a guy a few years ago who flipped his little truck on the motorway in thick fog; I put up warning triangles and helped him off the road. Once police arrived I was a little concerned I'd get blamed, but nothing happened. I gave the guy my business card and asked him to send back my [fancy] warning triangles...not really expecting them back at all. A week later he came to visit me at work with his whole family and small food presents, and thanked me profusely.
It is sad to say that this is very true. I know of an American lady who was in a crowd when an elderly Chinese lady had a heart attack. She stepped in to lend a hand, and the family sued her. Not only because she was the first to lend a hand, but she was American. The American Lady could not go back to America until everything was paid up. Plus; the Chinese family would not cut any deals until she did. This is ONE case. I managed a missions there for 18 years. 99% of Americans have no idea of what the mindset of the Chinese is really like.
We do understand in Vancouver Canada. This city (greater area included) is now majority Chinese and has learned a hard lesson. Scamming government and people is seen as a proud thing.
Thanks for the explanation. Chinese tourist are starting to show up more in my country, and a number of them just drop screaming to the ground when they don't get their way - a better hotel room than they paid for or something. It just lead to people staring at each other. We because we don't understand why they would think something so childish would get them anything, and them because we don't just give in.
There are a lot of scammers in China pretending to be injured and then sue you for injuring them more. There must have been a lot of cases like this in China which made the people afraid to help.
Half a century of social engineering caused this indifference towards other humans. You see, a totalitarian socialist country wants conformity and utopia by mass engineering by a small select group of inbreds, who have never stepped into the shoes of the ordinary man. What makes it worse is Chinese wants face, so the leaders will sacrifice their own people just to look good on the international stage.

(He was deaf and hadn’t heard the car coming, and the driver did everything he could to avoid hitting him but the old man got confused and hit the car in effect). We were told to keep our heads down and not get out of the car as we’d be blamed by the villagers and they’d all agree it was our fault….. as passengers in the rear seat of a car. Astonishing.
What a depressing people 'modern' China have become! No care no morals. They need a French style " Good Samritan" law and even reward for being the first to help a genuine sick/ill injured.
yep - heard that before. Totally true. There are several 100 different scams to acquire money.. from anyone they can scam. The whole nation is sick - and if you ever get into a situation where you will use the Chinese Legal system.... wake up.. you will get nothing noting nothing. The whole nation is now born into corruption. Don't forget the 1000s of other stories that are actually true - killing/aborting female children; poisonous baby Milk Powder made in corrupt national factories that killed 1000s; production of fake and often dangerous products, contract scams; payment and money transfer scams; false accusations for compensation. And the one where you could be seriously effected without even going to China: Chinese food imported products (you go to your local Chinese food Supermarket to get some tasty things...are you totally mad? Do you have any idea of the factories they come from? You would be shocked beyond anything you could imagine..)
I have the following anecdote from a Chinese friend of mine: When she was a young teen she saw a man passed out on the side walk in front of her school. Since he didn't respond she called an ambulance. Turned out it was an alcoholic who drank too much. End of story she got the ambulance, her parents and the teachers being pissed of at her and her parents needed to pay. Learning to never help anyone ever again. Very sad how the society there evolved. In a western country she would have been a role model.
@@corn1002 when the ambulance managed to wake the man up he said he doesn't need help, so the bill went to the person calling the ambulance. Not sure if they managed to settle it without having to pay in the end.
I guess the whole point is that when people do really need help after a genuine medical episode, no-one will stop as the 95% of the incidents are scams.
There's like 20 videos on 4chan of them all just walking around a kid in a swimming pool as the kid drowns for 10 minutes straight. Wake up from your echo chamber
As a German this is absolutely shocking to see for me 😢 We have a law, that everybody that is 18 years or older HAS to help a helpless person as long as you don’t put your own life to risk by helping, or you can go to jail for not helping! It‘s absolutely common to help others or if it‘s too dangerous, at least call the emergency and the police. I‘m deeply shocked.
That's some HEAVY copium right there, you know damn well 90%+ of germans in a big city would ignore someone unconscious on the ground, same in the UK, same in the US, same in Japan, same everywhere. People have tried to fake it to see a reaction and it's true, no one would approach them. Which makes sense, because who has time to call an ambulance? I wouldn't even know how to describe where I am. And help them myself? They could have 5 different knives on them, I'm not risking it
I’m American and lived in Hong Kong with my family when I was 16 yrs old in the 70’s. We witnessed an accident while walking where a man got stuck under a bus. My father went to help the man but the Chinese people forcefully held my father back from helping. What they told my father was if he touched the man my family would be obligated to pay all his bills and take care of him, possibly for the rest of the injured man’s life. I’m 66 yrs old now and remember that as if it were yesterday. It was a horrible experience.
Same in Nigeria. Had some friends working on a highway project outside Lagos. There was a lunch break and one of the workers decided to take a nap in front of the asphalt roller. Lunch break ended, roller started up and before anyone could react, napping worker became part of the road. His friends kept up and grabbed the driver and threw him under the roller and he to became part of the road. Workers told my friends to stay out of it because it was a tribal thing. Friends finished the contract engineering side and left. Never to go back.
I used to work in Tokyo, and needed to visit Hong Kong for my job. While I was the only person who was needed and suitable for that job, My boss urged me to go with a Chinese guy coworker( a big middle aged, very sweet mainland Chinese guy working in Tokyo with visa, waiting for Japanese green card). When we were walking from our hotel to the client’s office, a woman fell from the park stairs where we were walking through, I was instantly was running for her help, but he grabbed my arm and physically lifting me up and carry me out from the park lol. He later told me he believes she was a scam, and she did it intentionally in front of me because she knew I’m a foreigner, but she didn’t realized the guy behind me was actually with me. It’s real. Their country is actually scary than you think
Thank you for sharing, please remember to keep yourself safe. It's a different culture and sadly not one that is as safe or progressive as others may be.
I've seen videos of these scammers literally half heartedly throwing themselves against cars stopped in traffic so as to claim they were "hit" (by a non-moving vehicle). I don't know what's worse, the extremely BAD half hearted acting or the gall of these moral less people.
Hong Kong law is totally different although the mainland are trying their best to make it like the rest of China. Such kind of scam is highly unlikely to succeed here.
Their ancestors would be ashamed of their people! No different than being sued by someone that was given food and water out of kindness and then turn on the Good Samaritan for money! Shame!
It's to keep people in a depressed and demoralized state, someone like that is far less likely to speak out against injustice. Especially from the government.
I was on a public bus pre-pandemic in a small Chinese city and we passed a woman who appeared to be lifeless, half her body on the curb but face down on the street (in the middle of winter). It was so surreal to see people just ignored what appeared to be a dead body right out in public. Very disturbing in a way. Great video.
I saw a dead lady boy on the street in Bangkok, it was a busy time and there were hundreds of pedestrians transiting past her without giving a care; not something I'm used to seeing.
Well, this helps to make sense of a peculiar situation that I experienced a few years ago. I was riding my motorcycle in the carpool lane in Southern California. Some other motorcyclists overtook me and passed the cars that were ahead of me. They were splitting the lane (legal in California). They passed a car that was just to the right of the carpool lane. That car swerved all the way left through the carpool lane across double yellows and sideswiped the center barrier. The car corrected and slowly came to a stop. The whole thing was really bizarre. I helped stop traffic so the man could get his car to the shoulder. When I went to check on him he started accusing me of causing the accident. It all seemed really scammy. When I pointed to the camera mounted on my bike he immediately switched his story and said that one of the other motorcyclists hit him (nobody even came close to his vehicle). He was a Chinese man, maybe in his 60's. I waited for CHP to show up and explained the situation to them. I don't think that his scam worked out for him. They're bringing the same tactics to America :/
To anybody that’s surprised of how things could come to this, I would like to remind you that we are talking about the same population who saw TENS OF MILLIONS of their own loved ones starve to death during the Great Leap Forward, and instead of going to war (or even revolting) against those who starved them, reacted by going in front of the fully stocked granaries begging “please Chairman Mao, save us!”, as they died of hunger. Obedience and passivity to authority is ingrained in millennia of history, and not caring about each other is only a given fact in this context.
exactly. I initially felt for them with what they have been going through since 2019, but this year I stopped caring. They are basically begging for all this.
Next up is the US. Insane how hilariously easy it is to brainwash Americans. Just as pathetic as the Chinese although at least there are lots of Americans standing up to it. Still, newer and newer generations will come and governments will get away with more and more
Bingo! That's why the US political establishment (both dem and repub) has flooded our country with tens of millions of illegal "dreamers" most of whom either hate or give no rat's behind about the American way of life and the US Constitution!
@@Americanbadashh not true. You cannot rebel if you cannot trust anyone else. Rebels are typically lead by people that can talk and make plans with each other. If however you have trained your people to never ever be near another person you can isolate them so completely that they will never be able to rebel in any way.
@@Xander1Sheridan Their tools for control will lead to their fall. Because while it might prevent rebellion, it also limits their ability to handle any kind of crisis in a effective way. And simple problems can become much more severe for no reason except no one trusts eachother
One of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in China was a traffic camera showed a woman trying to cross a busy street when she was struck by a car, which kept on going. While she was lying in the road, she was struck two more times by motorists while she was trying to crawl away. There were plenty of people around who witnessed the entire thing, but nobody attempted to help her. They would just as soon let her die in the street. I would not have believed so many people could lack empathy if I hadn't seen it for myself. I am so grateful I don't live under the control of the ccp, and I pity the people that must live under that regime. It's also contemptible that ccp trolls make their living posting comments on social media showing support for the ccp while trying to conceal their identity. What a way to make a living, by selling your honor and integrity.
And yet they claim China is "so safe".... really? is it? if you're left to die in the streets, no one helping you, I'd consider that a very unsafe place. At least if you're ever shot in America, loads of people will immediately come to help you.
Stay out and away from China. My girl Xiao Ying went back home to China and wanted me to go with her to build a life together there. I was faced with the tough decision to decline, and we had to part ways. It was tough but at the end of the day I can actually live my life without this aspect of life in China. Great video as [it] reinforces my decision to stay here in North America. Cheers!
And yet so many Western governments are helping China. We hear about the secret Chinese police working in coiuntries like Canada and tracking down dissidents with Trudeau's help. The Western elites are as rotten as they come
As long as the regime lives on, she will eventually come to regret that decision. There's not one aspect of life the governance doesn't negatively affect for regular citizens. Most people who have the privileges immediately move out of the country.
Are you familiar with the little girl who was run over by a truck in a warehouse? Not only did the driver just keep driving, yet another truck slowly drove over her body when he could have easily stopped at the very least. After many minutes had passed, an older woman finally helped her although, not surprisingly, it was too late and the little girl died. The lady who tried to help was lauded by the media as a hero. I wish I'd never seen that video. It was like watching an alien society.
Thankfully the UK courts and insurance companies are getting very sharp at dealing with this sort of thing. However, our libel laws are an international disgrace.
Agree our libel laws are a mess - although of course they keep a lot of very well paid briefs in business - who pay eye watering income taxes! No idea what relevance this type of scam has to UK - the nearest would be the 'rear shunt' where a driver stops suddenly and the driver behind is liable if he hits the car in front. That's one of the reasons for leaving a gap to the car in front!
I live and work in England for a large parcel delivery company (there is a blue mark on the boxes...). During the peak season, they hired a lot of people to work. Now that peak season is gone, they have fired (this is just one of many warehouses) from our warehouse at least 100 people. I have a lot of colleagues from Hong Kong. I love talking to them. They hate China and the system from the bottom of their hearts. But at the same time, I noticed that they were completely feelings and people without empathy. When e.g. The earthquake was in Japan now, and we talked about it then, but I didn't see the slightest sign of regret and sympathy. Returning. So. Many Hong Kong colleagues have also been fired. One day they ate together, talked in the canteen, and then that's it. They also do not care about the fate of their former colleagues. I was disappointed in them. They are cold, unempathetic, cold, selfish people. They don't care about the fate of their countryman. You can say, don't generalize. But they are many, everywhere, and almost everyone is like that. They can smile in such a sneaky way...
At least in EU as far as I am aware there is "good Samaritan law" and generally the liability is included in the basic liability insurance. At least in Germany. So if I try to help in good faith I am really not expecting any negative consequences. Its protected by law and basic structures.
Not only that, but at least here in Finland you are actually obliged to help by law! So it's actually a crime not to help! (Very rarely does somebody get sentenced for this though, but it's still a very concrete incentive on helping people in need.)
Doesn't need a law. Most people are good Samaritans in Western Europe, although I think that shouldn't be extended to foreign groups as many of them tend to lack gratitude which should be the result of being a good Samaritan.
When I was in China, an old guy missed a step down and fell down. I almost fell days before myself. I helped him up. I thought about the fact that he could blame me after the fact. Luckily the guy was thankful and cool and we went on with our day.
I first went to China in 2001, my daughter was living there and I went for a visit. Loved it!! One day we were out walking and spied a fellow lying on the road - he'd crashed his 3-wheeler and there was a puddle of blood near his head. I instinctively started towards him to help (it was July, his head was cooking on the tarmac) but my daughter held me back saying that especially since I was a foreigner I could end up being blamed for the incident. We walked on, I'll never forget that. This has been an issue for a long time - and was one of the first things she was warned about when she moved there in 1999.
That explains alot. I've seen multiple videos of people being in actual trouble in china and everybody just ignoring it. I always wondered what the hell is wrong with these people, now I get it. They are essentially scared to be scammed by fakes and don't wanna risk becoming a victim themselves. It's beyond sad.
Yeah idk I find it very hard to fathom that even if it's not culturally supported you wouldn't help a man bleeding out on the street. This just makes me angry at the people, not the policies
I lived a few hours from Wuhan for 6 years around 20 years ago and this sort of thing was very very common. What was also very common was people jumping on to cars waiting at traffic lights and then rolling off in order to get some compensation and paid for hospital time. This was especially prevalent with beggars during the winter as it would mean a warm room and bed for a few nights.
Having lived in China I also experienced this. His explanation that once he began to help others that the Chinese would then be willing to help because he was then liable, I don't think this is completely accurate. I fully suspect it's true in some cases, but there's another aspect, saving face. The fact that you as a foreigner as willing to help, it makes everyone around you lose face. They are Chinese people not willing to help other Chinese people and here is this outsider, this foreigner, making us look bad. I word it like that because I literally heard it like that from several of my Chinese friends. So much of life there revolves around face and saving face, letting foreigners upstage you is definitely a loss of face scenario.
@@clitisswood7330 It most definitely is a deep-rooted cultural issue. One thing i'm quite curious about is the extent of the issue's existence prior to the opium wars. I have a suspicion that from that period forward the negative aspects of society were distilled and concentrated as society underwent devolution.
I remember back in 2002 when I was teaching English at a Chinese school south of Wuhan. One morning while I cycled to school I saw the dead body of a young man at the side of the road. I was totally shocked and it looked as if he had been hit by a vehicle. What shocked me even more were the children and adults just walking past, doing nothing. One of the other teachers, a Chinese man who spoke English, saw me, and explained that I should do nothing and say nothing, otherwise the police may implicate me in the death. This was scary and I had the most awful bad conscience for years after the incident.
China is literally one giant North Korea with over a billion people, you couldn't pay me enough to travel to that god forsaken hellhole of propaganda and intimidation
@@winstonzhou4595 Nah, the police are not your friend. That kind of paranoia does not arise from fear of long legal processes. That's people reacting to very real police corruption, laziness and abuse of power.
I was a diver and took a contract for work in the South China Sea. When we were in Shenzhen there was a lady who was struck by a bus. My group of divers were nearly all trained in first aid to a fair amount. Yet when we tried to help we were stopped by our Chinese handlers/guides. We were told that we should not interfere and wait for the authorities. It made us sick to walk away as the woman was bleeding out in the street with no one to help her. However I’m an American who has traveled to many countries and I must abide by the laws and customs of the land. I find certain mentality to be utterly sad.
China has specifically written Good Samaritan Laws protecting rescuers. I am sorry to tell you. You were not obeying the law; you were obeying Chinese culture. The producer of this is not giving you an accurate picture or understanding, nor was your guide.
My dad from NJ and others from NY would tell me the same thing when I was a child, not to help strangers. If you do the cops will arrest you and the person you helped will sue you. That was a real concern for people living in NYC and surrounding metro area.
@@DerekDavis213 I admire many Chinese people from wherever they are. I even had good contacts with some people with membership of the CCP. My business bought machines and tools from China. Some colleagues sold their whole factory to China. But the economy is going down and China has a debt problem, that's rooted in the society. Something has to change. Maybe you're a believer or you're something like a bot. Nevertheless, China faces a enormous threat. Debt, not enough labour, shrinking population, population doesn't care about others, belt and road initiative failing, BRICS is a farce.
@@DerekDavis213 They don't have a powerful economy and powerful military. Their demographic is horrible. They have massive problems which they cannot fix. That's why Xi is elected as president forever. That's why Chinese govt. has become so authoritative and implemented Social Credit System. They will collapse this century
This is insane! In Europe it’s obligatory to help if somebody is in need, if you don’t do it you might end up in prison. On the other hand you are protected while helping, as long as it’s in good faith nobody can sue you,even if you accidentally worsen something- and the state might even pay for things like cleaning your clothes if they got dirty while helping!
"In Europe it’s obligatory to help" Thanks to the Christian ethic (though many 'modern' smart-arses will deny it) - which even an avowed atheist will usually uphold. Communism = the Opium of the People!
Socialism and Communism (C is just an extension of S) is all about social conditioning and control of the masses living/ behaving in unison (otherwise it can't work). More like social insects than rational humans.
This is messed up on so many levels. On one hand people who won't help others in need. And on the other people who fake falling and pretend to be injured. Like what the hell! Some years ago I came strolling down the street in the winter time, when i noticed a small crowd and someone lying on the ground. I went over and found it to be an old lady lying face down. Obviously she had slipped and fallen head down into the ground. I turned her over on the back and her face was covered in blood. Called an ambulance and made sure she was comfortable. I have never been more proud to stand up for another person, apart from my profession within medical care. Now imagine if this would have been in China, she would probably have died from bloodloss, chock or suffocation lying facedown into the ground. I am happy that I, nor the old lady, or anyone else in my country lives in a country lika China.
My chinese ex pre-warned me not to help these type of people, it was a very difficult thing to conceive not helping someone seemingly in need but fortunately there weren't too many trying it. She told me they are more likely to target foreigners because there's a perception we're all rich.
Took me a while to understand what you meant at the end. I thought at first you meant foreigners think all chinese are rich, which made me LoL until it made sense. I don't think anyone past 2 yrs old thinks anyone in china is rich
I think poverty plays a big part. I was watching stuff on Cambodia and the guy said people won't step in to help as everyone is very poor and only looking out for themselves.
The Party foster this social behavior among the entire population out of their necessity of self-protection. A society without empathy towards victims is less likely to unite against the regime for a common cause.
Very soon, we will all have to carry a video camera attached to our chests to record everything in our daily lives , no matter how silly and routine it may seem , to protect ourselves from unpleasant events like this and many others .
@@corringtongopro1676no it won’t, it will be stuck at the 95% not quite good enough for a long time. Eyes and lips are and do look terrible, thats going to take years
I already do. After I was blamed for jumping in front of an European version of UberEats guy driving on a sidewalk. He was shouting at hist friends through the window, never saw me, hit me, cuickly steered onto the street and his friends told the cops I tried to kill myself.
I was in Italy a few yrs ago and there were a lot of Chinese tourists. I was amazed about how rude they were. Flights were cancelled from Florence to Rome due to weather and we had to take buses. They won’t form lines to get on buses. Everyone is just pushing and shoving each other to get in first, which made everything worse and just took longer.
yeah they are not a civil society. I live in china now and there is some basic etiquette that they just don't understand. waiting and forming lines is a good example, they spit everywhere, they talk very loud and scream at each other... it feels like a third world country wrapped in a 1st world countries shell
Wow, this really got me. I lived in Wuhan China for a couple of years over a decade ago now, and it seems that everything I saw back then has only gotten worse today. What's amazing to me though is that all these years later, you finally answered a question for me!! Starting from my first weeks I saw many 'bodies' left on the road or sidewalks that people avoided and would go around. I couldn't understand why no one would help. I never got the answers to that until this video (and it makes perfect sense to me!). I did however learn very quickly to always be on guard both in my words and actions. It is NOT a safe place. My heart aches for the people of China and every day I pray for their freedom, for their ability to over come the evil they are trapped in. Seeing things like this makes me wonder if they can ever do it. I miss my students and the good friends I made there, but I can not contact them for fear of lowering their social credit score. Thank you, Sir, for posting these videos. it's so good to see (finally) more stuff coming out about the red state. Maybe this is how they finally win their freedom, when the rest of the world is rooting them on to take it back 💜
In Korea, people dislike the Chinese people more than the CCP. Since Koreans have dealt with the Chinese over 1000 years, the brutish behavior displayed by the CCP is pretty close to their societal behavior. In Korea, we say Xi Jinping and his people are one and the same.
I remember my ex Father in Law Alan, telling me about when he was living and working in Nigeria in the late 90s. He had a driver pick him up each morning to take him into work. One day, they saw the traffic slowing down and move around a bundle in the this busy road. As his driver went past the obstruction, Alan realised it was the body of a man (clearly dead) and his driver went past and accelerated away. When he got to work, the local staff explained to him, that if they had stopped, they would have been blamed for the man's death. The dreadful thing was that over the next few days, the body became squashed and flattened and because of the heat it dried and eventually ended up just like a dead animal on a motorway here in the UK. He never forgot that sight and I think it resonates with your story and I hope we never get to that point, where basic humanity of helping someone disappears.
@@thomgizzizNonsens, maybe in the US. In Europe you are obligated to help. If you don’t you might even go to prison for that. It’s everybody’s duty to help!

@@outoforbit- exactly. The amount of help is varying, obviously. But even an elderly woman can call the ambulance if she sees someone tripping on the street, nobody expects her to rush out and pick someone up. Just help as good as you can, and we all win as a society! 😊👍
From Malaysia. Heard of this story years ago about China. Was told that when a road accident happens involving a pedestrian and a vehicle, the vehicle driver would try to "finish the job" in fear of having to be financially indebted for life towards the victim, even if it was a complete accident. Sounds crazy.
If you are teached not to help others, to take care of a person in need, how can a society become united and fight it's government? That's why those cases won.
Roshisama, the Zen master, liked to tell us the heartwarming story of the blind with the needle.. “ In the time of the Buddha there was a blind monk who wanted to repair his monk's garment, but failed to get the thread through the eye of the needle. The Buddha came to him and did it for him. ‘ Who is it that helps me like this? ’ asked the blind man gratefully. When the Buddha made himself known, the monk was deeply moved: ‘ You don't have to do something like that! You are the Awakened One. ’ ‘ Being awake means serving others ’, said the Buddha. ”
I remember reading an article about a ferris wheel breaking and throwing all the riders to the concrete ground in China. All these kids were laying on the ground screaming in pain, some were dead. Grown adults were just standing around looking like it was nothing and not even helping. It was sick!!
I saw a video where a guys dog was attacking (and eventually killed) someone eles small dog. There had to be atlest 30 people watching doing nothing. The owner of the big dog just stood there holding the leash the whole time, while the owern of the small dog stood there screaming. Literally no one did anything....
@@wifi_soldier5076 I saw a clip of a video but couldn't bring myself to watch it. But in China they have a festival where they boil dogs alive to torture them. What kinda people would do something so barbaric??? Look up Dog Festival in China but be forewarned because the clip alone is disturbing enough.
No, it's not cultural but a lack of legislation. I'll give you the background. Such a phenomenon is called the moral slope in China. It happened in 2006 called the PengYu Case, where a young man named PengYu saw an old lady collapsing when getting off the bus and helped her to the hospital. Later this old lady said PengYu knocked her down and asked for compensation. Although people think it was a scam, it's still a mystery whether PengYu knocked her down by accident. What really furious people was the court judge, who gave the most silly explanation to convict PengYu guilty. He said:'If you didn't knock her, why did you help her?' 'You should send her to the hospital, call her family and leave. But you didn't, which means you are guilty 'cause it's not our social norm.' And this particular case was spread by the Jiangsu Province ( like a State in the US) government as a great example to show off their achievements in civil mediation, The Chinese government loved to execute such communist-style performances, which made it more widespread to the public. ( The head of the province later became the Vice President of China if u are interested. Seems like all this mess does no harm to his political career.) Since then, not only have Chinese people avoided helping those obviously in need in real-life scenarios, but our school education also told us to mind our business and pay attention to scams. So instead of saying this is a cultural behaviour, it's actually caused by a lack of good samaritan law, biased court and school education. It's more like the banality of evil, where a rational human always chooses what causes no harm.
Bad governance is akin to bad parenting. And let's not forget why Chinese eat bats and many exotic creatures; it is because of the artificial famine that the Mao's regime inadvertently caused but is guilty of due to bad governance!
Or when your government starts interfering with political candidates because a certain party has become entrenched in the civil servant area and can now do some really corrupt things over and over and over again until they get the people they want put in prison.
Yes, China is a failing society, but it is not fair to blame it on this year's flavor of the Communist Party. Unlike those of us in Christian/Jewish/Muslim nations, China has never had a moral compass. While evil may not be in their DNA, it is DEEPLY embedded in their culture, going back hundreds of years. It just shows itself differently at various times.
@@johnames6430 but you don't see this in the US. There are countless videos showing people in sudden distress having multiple people stop to help them.
Germany protects good samaritans. China doesn't. How can they when the whole system is built to scam on everyone. If you want something done you have to bribe the local authorities. No decent system can thrive with pure corruption.
I understand why tourists are always the ones who get involved now in US. I have seen first hand on several occasions now foreigners stepping in to help Americans in our own cities when our own people refuse. Specifically tourists from Europe. There must be something very different about their society in comparison to ours. They don't think like us. An American would think, what did they do to deserve it? And I notice the foreigner seems to think instead, this person needs help!
We had the same mentality in India a few decades back. In fact, our parents and family elders told us repeatedly, not to get involved. If somebody is getting beaten up, walk away. The authorities usually look for scapegoats. But it has changed with the younger generation. I however still have remnants of the conditioning. I hesitate to help people in need "it is someone else's problem". Sad but true.
Section134A of Motor vehicles act says that Good Samaritans should be protected from civil and criminal liability, the increasing number of CCTVs in various Indian States also give a confidence to the bystander of helping someone in need, my family members even Incouraged me to help if someone needs help, I am from Maharashtra state if you wonder.
India has a similar problem with China, you never know how the local authorities are going to act. Are they going to extort you for bribes, or if you try to help someone who was assaulted, did you just interfere with BJP gangs assaulting non-Hindus or Dalits and risk becoming a target yourself?
Thank you Winston for everything you do at your own personal risk and the risk to those you love. Spreading the messages of caution and tirelessly working to help open people's eyes; I am humbled to my core by you and Laowhy86. Please keep doing what you are doing it is important. This video was sad and honestly upsetting. I hope the Chinese people one day will be able to push out from under the weight of the CCP. At first I had thought you meant that bad policies had created an environment where it is unfavourable to help others. In Canada we have the Good Samarian Act that protects first responders no matter if they are a bystander or a professional from being blamed or taken to court for trying to help. I realized that I should understand that this condition is a result of toxic governance where the intention of the CCP is to cause Chinese people to have little empathy for one another. If Chinese people empathized with other chinese people in need of assistance that is a receipe for the people coming together over any situation that creates empathy. The potential common person comradrey could cause the Chinese people to demand the CCP step down. Empathy is bad for CCP survival, so lets give the grab-hag that is obviously being sneaky by pretending to be a victim all the money she wants for fake medical expenses etc. Then no one will ever help each other. No one will rise up against the CCP.
@@martinchristianaguilar5135no, he got a point, that is actually smart move, deceiving for sure, add on if the catalyst for the court to side with the scammer is an inside job.

I had an incident while I was in China back in 2014. I was on holiday and travelling through some areas along the coast and one day I got sick. It was terrible, I had extremely painful stomach cramps, I basically hunched over and collapsed against a wall, groaning in pain and thankfully some nearby local Chinese folk did come by and see if I was OK and called an ambulance for me (turns out it was a particularly bad case of food poisoning, oh street food you are a harsh mistress)
But they told me that if I was Chinese, they wouldn't have helped me. Since westerners aren't known for pulling scams in China, if a westerner starts acting like that it's very unlikely that it's a scam.
you likely ate gutter oil 🤢, Google it
I just learned something about what’s goin on in China. America isn’t perfect, but this is crazy.
They wouldn't call an ambulance for a sick person!? That's what the people on the street told you, while you were vomiting!? BS!
@@chavdarnaidenov2661 You should travel more.
@@chavdarnaidenov2661after living more than three decades in south China, i can tell you it’s absolutely true.
I remember I had a ex-colleague who immigrated from China, she said described something very similar to what this video is showing. She once saw a little girl collapsed on a pavement and nobody lifted a finger to help. And this issue actually goes further than this, she said that if -hypothetical- you are driving a car and hit someone, you would be liable for the entirety of their medical bills potentially for the rest of their life. BUT, if you actually killed the person in said accident, you are just hit with a fine and case is closed (along with some probable prison time, usually quite short). You can probably imagine which option most people took in China. So there are cases where in car accidents, the drivers actually ensure the person they hit died.
As soon as I saw case closed I knew where this was heading

bruh, what an eye opener
so they didnt help either? why did they even say anything lol

I was teaching English in a Chinese university for many years. I cannot remember exactly when this social phenomena started but I became aware of it because a lot of students chose such topic for my Oral presentation class. Topics like " Should we help someone in need of help in the Public?" At first I was confused why was it an issue when I know Chinese people are pretty helpful especially towards their elderly. I didn't know what they were talking about until I dug deeper and discovered the reason that some old people were scheming and framing innocent Samaritans for money. My students were debating to help or not to help, some were willing to help but they need to video first, majority were not , too afraid of the repercussions. I was really shocked but the people's hands are tied. I felt real pity for my Chinese students and friends.
Years ago in the UK someone I knew was walking home with his girlfriend after a night out and they came across a guy who had been stabbed and they helped him and called an ambulance. The police arrested him accusing him of the attack, saying it was probably a fight over his girlfriend, luckily the victim recovered and told the police it wasnt him. If he had died the innocent guy may have ended up in prison on a murder charge.
Stupid police you got eh
Incompetent and stupid cops.
woah... lucky
My husband had that happen but someone had been beaten up and were unconscious. We called the police and they put my husband in the back of a police car then the guy woke up and was like wait why are you arresting him?! So they let him go.

A few years back a woman jumped from the Washington Ave bridge over the Mississippi on the U of Minnesota campus. At this time there was a homeless encampment nearby. One man from the camp jumped in, swam out, and brought her back. He then shied away from all media, wanted no reward, and thats all I know. If an American from one of the most stigmatized, downtrodden, misunderstood, and marginalized groups in our society still has the empathy to risk his life (this is the Mississipi, its big) for a total stranger who had chosen to end their life... well, it brings tears to my eyes to see this situation in China.

When I worked in China I was warned several times never to help someone because they will sue you and you will have to pay them all your money. So whenever I saw someone fall down, or clearly need help carrying things, I had to just ignore them. It was very difficult.
Our litigious society is sending us there at breakneck speed.
It is unimaginable in all over the world but is very true in China.
What if you filmed yourself approaching and asking, getting permission, and all that? Maybe I missed where he mentioned it, but what about for just calling an ambulance?
I think that here in America people are also hesitant to help or get involved. For example if you witness a crime witness an accident etc you could be summoned to court and all of a sudden your involved in the case so in reality I don't think it's just China I think that's everywhere. Also people in general are just apathetic I've seen news reports of people just walking by while an elderly person is getting mugged and no one gets involved.
@Aughtel Chinese judges are so corrupt they will ignore any evidence you provide. It’s hard to tell who you can trust in China.
Winston's video is 100% true. About 5 years ago - I found an old dying man on the streets in China (he appeared to have been hit by a car). Everybody walked past him as if he were invisible, as he lie in a pool of his own blood. When I saw this, I started screaming for help (I was new in China and didn't know how to call authorities.) and tried bringing attention to the dying man, but nobody wanted anything to do with me. I finally I found some young individuals in their early 20's who spoke English and were willing to acknowledge me. They called an ambulance and as soon as it became apparent somebody else was handling the problem - a giant crowed formed and suddenly, like magic, everybody could see the dying man.

Here in Germany, not helping some one who is injured or in distress is actually a criminal offence.
Really? That's not good, I was told years ago that in Germany you could be sued by the person you tried to help. Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't.
pretty much everywhere in the "west"
I don't agree with making not helping a criminal offence, I think that is going too far.
Here in Canada you can be sued by the victim, but... they must have a very, very, very good reason to sue. Although it is an issue here where someone may not want to help if physical assistance is required to help them as there is scammers here too. But nowhere as bad as what we have seen in China.

6:10 I was with my Lebanese friend and his Hong Kong Chinese wife at one of the opulent hotels in Dubai. My friends wife, as we were sitting down, apologized for what was about to happen when she noticed a large collection of Chinese mainland tourists coming in to sit down too. The restaurant staff brought out the snow crab and there was a virtual riot between the Chinese mainland tourists to be the first to get the snow crab. Within a couple minutes there was none left for any of the other diners. It was quite, quite disgusting and I'll never forget it. No morals no filter, nothing, just unadulterated selfishness.

Subhuman behavior...what a disgusting display of behavior
The Chinese are godless materialists.
This is strategic. If generations grow up under this fear of helping, they don't help. If the person needing help feels no one cares, it makes them hard and they don't want to help because they were not helped. They began to loose empathy because no one had it for them. The people being taught not to help and walk by, suppress their emotions and before long they walk by and it don't even bother them anymore. Maybe..even blame the victim. It's a vicious cycle. Making society more and more hard, more and more fearful, more and more incapable of trust or true love toward one another. Soon you breed the humanity right out of society and you end up with robots. Selfish people who only look out for number one. Their government wants it that way. Easy to control. It is abuse on a wide scale.
Ok, how does selfish control the selfish, after all, it more likely the selfish control the selfishless, since the selfishless is willing accept and help, so selffishless is more easy to control, unless you have other info that would confirm selfish as controlling selfish that's easier?? Since selffish likely to ignore the selffish, like government, so selfish breed selfish. Unless the fear which higher on selfish, so they are less brave, which lead to fearful accept, so not by willing as selfishless has more courage to accept and help. So, from love to hate, or more accurate from love out of love to neglect out of fear. Fear reduce emotion even more until there no fear helping, well, for love that's no fear to help so out of love, so when there is fear so help out of non-fear eventually which fear is an emotion, so help by telling another person to help so they will, so not from within, but outside.
@@khaliffoster3777 I'm sorry, I don't understand all you were trying to say, but I will address the first part that I did understand. I could say many things, but I will keep it simple. Selfish people will do anything to save their own skin or improve their situation. Selfishness makes unhappy and bitter people and is a breeding ground for sadism. The last emperor of China Puyi talks of his cruelty and spent the last part of his life trying to be different. Think of his life, ripped away from his parents at less than 3 yrs of age, surrounded by no real family and love (except for a wet nurse that was dismissed when he was 8), just a political pawn deprived of relationships and love. He did everything he could to save his own life. He had no courage to do what was right because he had no moral compass. I see his story as a very sad one in which he was done so wrong. Selfish people are predictable people. The government is a entity of authority and one you will not defeat. If evil or unfair laws are passed, selfish people will not sacrifice to demand they be overturned, they will not fight for their neighbor they will take the path of apathy. It's not their problem, is their motto. It doesn't concern me, there is no benefit in it for me, so I will keep my nose clean and do what I have to do. Selfish people will not band together and work for change, selfish people will do what it takes to save themselves, selfish people have no integrity, selfish people do not care about the plight of others because many times they themselves are hurt and bitter. Self..LESS people will suffer for what they believe in because they will give of themselves for the greater good (ask any real parent that loves their kids). They will band together and fight for change. They will call out wrong. Even though, I DO agree with you that selfless people can be easily manipulated, I was referring to society as a whole, a nation of people. But even on a personal level, I am talking about confident selfless people not trauma abused people with no confidence, there is a difference.
Ok, as for trauma abused with no confidence and selfless people with confidet, so ya are not including confidence selfsih people, so all selfish is not confidence so afraid and insecure, so between two system: selfish and selfishless and with it, non-confidence and confidence? That's connect to lower part that you don't understand that selfish can be control which you say easier to control, even above you say selfishless is to control, but short term selfless is easier to control but long term, they are not easy, as for selfish people is harder to control short term, but longer term easier to control because the end result of long term, the selfishless will have courage fight back and selfish will not have courage to right as no emotion to exist since it has been remove so easy to accept as focus themselves to gain the benefit of government's statement like 'don't do it', the selfish will accept as an answer since it benefit them to not do it otherwise, the negative will be give to selfish people like hurting, death, etc, so not willing to accept the negative, but the selfishless is willing to accept the negative.
At end result, you say robot that is the feeling has been remove so focus all inward, so no external feeling except internal feeling to be accept or not, but selfishless focus external feeling, not internal feeling. One is negative spiral process and one is positive spiral process.
Negative begat negatve to the destruction of external positive and construction of external negative; Positive begat positive to the construction of external positive and destruction of external negative. @@GoodLiving7181
well said, and now look at how they are manipulating the bible over there too. Manipulating it even more
@@kenjifugimoto You are right, fear is their anchor and Human is their anchor, so they rely on self which is selfless, so the government create a fear so they rely on self since they need themselves so they ignore other, so selfish is need as selfless is dangerous so what is need is selfish, so has to revolt base on selfish, I want this, not this, so that imply selfish, like children rebel to parent, so that selfish is need like parent give timeout and punish the children which parent is selfish? Well, because of the negative that exist so they rebel against the negative so when they can't rebel to the negative so they becomes the negative so they rebel each other so the selfish reigns.
As I say humans are their anchor, not Jehovah that is problem. They need to learn Jehovah so love will reign, not neglect or hate. So, it's same as north Korea that reject other humans in flavor to North Korea's president but in China, so it's not in flavor to Chila's leader but in flavor to each self in relative to other since I say selfless is dangerous so they focus themselves as the
China's leader focus himself.
In France (and probably in the rest of Europe), not giving assistance to someone in danger is a criminal offense.

I know this because this history book says so
In France, you may be fined or go to prison for not helping someone in distress. "Non assistance a la personne en danger" is a criminal offence. Whatever the law, if you fall, there will be plenty people around you to assist and enquire about your wellbeing, wether you are in a big town or at the countryside.
Same law exists in Belgium but people here prefer to film instead of going to assist people in distress.
I had it happen a couple of months ago. A woman was lying on the ground near a big railway station, she was crying, saliva running from her mouth. Everybody was just looking from afar. Nobody went over the check on her and ask if she was ok or if she needed help and needed me to call an ambulance or something. i was the only one. Only after i did there was a second person that approached and stood next to us. Disgusting mentality "modern" people have these days. There have been plenty of experiments in big cities, likewise in France, where people just continue on their daily business without assisting people in distress.

I had a friend who lived in China for a couple of years. He left China because of this very reason he was so disturbed by the fact that people do not help each other he left as soon as he could.
Some years ago I read in the UK Daily Mail, a comment by a well-traveled Brit businessman on this very topic. If a Chinese ever took a stricken Chinese stranger to a hospital, he would be liable for the bills, so it's one reason to ignore helping. This came on the heels of a leaked video that had gone viral, showing a girl toddler who'd wandered alone out the back of a store and into a narrow alley. She was run over by a trucker who stopped but didn't get out. You could see the look of worried self-preservation on his face before he stupidly backed up over her, and drove off. She was left lying still in the road, with no passersby daring to check on her. Finally, an old lady did pull the child off the road, but of course there was no report on her condition. China was embarrassed by this after outrage poured in from Westerners who'd seen the video. I'd guess that the only official action taken, would be an order to take down that alley's camera!

This is very true. I lived for 1year in Tianjin China. We have a live band performing there. While our band was onstage, a guy pretending to be drunk kept on throwing ice cube on us insinuating a fight, provoking us. He is shouting on us, spitting on the floor and gave us the dirty finger. But we dont want trouble so we ignore the man. Then when we went downstage after the show, one of our band member walk to the toilet but the rude chinese local crossed his path and intentionally bumped him. Then the chinese guy pretended to fall on the floor. We were bewildered on the audacious act. So we ask hey are you okay. But as he stand up he created a scene that he was pushed. And called the police while his partner video recorded on his phone the part he when he fell. Soon we spent the night in the police station not understanding anything because we dont understand their language. We were being asked for a fine. All of a sudden we were surprised to see that rude Chinese guy with a bump/bruise what seems to be a hematoma on his forehead. They threaten to sue us unless we compensate the guy. Good thing our manager followed the police station with the video clip showing after we left (we were taken by the police on a different patrol car) it showed on the cctv that that rude chinese guy was actually banging the side of his head on the wall to self-inflict his injury. Then he followed to the police station and blaming us. We were pressured since we are foreigners and we don't understand what they are saying. In the end the police and that rude guy who started all the trouble was negotiating with our manager to pay them so we can be set free. There were 4 of us and we paid 2,000. yuan each like a total of 8,000. yuan just to be set free. There no medical exam or any other translators. We felt so defeated, disgusted and fuming mad inside but there's nothing we can do. That happened 9 years ago, around 2015.

1 - They are training their citizens to disregard any feeling of empathy towards others. Imagine a chinese army that has been raised like that. What are they willing to do to an enemy?
2 - It is the first step of population control. Let people die and don't help them.
Absolutely appauling. I have never herd of this before. Sounds like a horror movie.
You must be joking. Chinese ppl all over the world, most of them don't have emotions except greed. Empathy, sympathy is not a thing. It's called self-centered & money money money. None of them know what real happiness is. To them, money buys happiness. You have no money, you are nothing, you are useless.
Yes, they are like robots. No individual will, opinion etc. Scary.
Absolutely, they are conditioning them to not trust one an other or to help stand up for each other. They will rat on each other out of fear. Totally broken submissive society.
in some ways this is already happening in America, with everyone accusing others of wrong doing, women in America have demonized men in general, i find it very common to hear from men that they will never help a female simply because women in general are known to lie and accuse men of doing things they didn't do, and because these women know the vast majority of society is on their side as women could do nothing wrong, they are sugar and spice and everything nice, we live in a culture of "believe all women" it's causing more and more men to ignore them.
how did this happen you ask? feminism, which is a tool of communisis to subvert a society to new social norms, to cause people to lose empathy for each other, because it's not something that will just effect women, this will also effect men as women will also follow this behavior.
the CCP probably doesn't want to admit this truth or any truth for that matter, they just want everyone to be their worker slaves and who cares what happens to their society in the long run in the meantime?
their government did this to themselves and idiot children taught by idiot communist teachers caused this to happen in their society, and it will continue so long as that government body continues to exist.

This brings to mind, we were on a bus tour of Italy and having a great time. We were taken from Rome to Sorento via bus. On the way there were stops for bathroom breaks. At one stop we got there just before a bus load of Chinese . We walked our normal pace but the chinese ran like they were being chaased by some monster. One Chinese lady tried to push me out of the way and being a polite Canadian I thought for a moment to let her by but seeing others push my wife I just gave a good old hockey hip check and the Chinese lady went flying not to be seen by me again and the one trying push past my wife got an elbow to the shoulder, stopped her in her tracks. I hear some cheers from our crew and we continued on. Every where we went in Italy were there was Chinese tourists they were the rudest and had the worst manners.
Bub, it’s not just Italy….
They were EVERYWHERE during my time in France and Greece as well….
And yes, they ALL act like that….
@@noobie1890there is a reason they are considered the worst tourist.

I went to england and was apologized to by an older man, because he used to bad talk Americans before the Chinese.
And then everybody clapped... you are trying to tell us that is what happened? I get you were happy with yourself but nobody else was paying attention to you in a crowd. Stop the cap little man.

It is sad to say that this is very true. I know of an American lady who was in a crowd when an elderly Chinese lady had a heart attack. She stepped in to lend a hand, and the family sued her. Not only because she was the first to lend a hand, but she was American. The American Lady could not go back to America until everything was paid up. Plus; the Chinese family would not cut any deals until she did. This is ONE case. I managed a missions there for 18 years. 99% of Americans have no idea of what the mindset of the Chinese is really like.

In 2001 my wife and I were in central China. We were being driven in this village and an old man in a bike turned into the car. (He was deaf and hadn’t heard the car coming, and the driver did everything he could to avoid hitting him but the old man got confused and hit the car in effect). We were told to keep our heads down and not get out of the car as we’d be blamed by the villagers and they’d all agree it was our fault….. as passengers in the rear seat of a car. Astonishing.
Yes, because if it it wasn't for the passengers requesting transportation, the accident would have never happened. That's their mentality!
What a depressing people 'modern' China have become! No care no morals. They need a French style " Good Samritan" law and even reward for being the first to help a genuine sick/ill injured.
Sounds like another form of religion to me.
yep - heard that before. Totally true. There are several 100 different scams to acquire money.. from anyone they can scam. The whole nation is sick - and if you ever get into a situation where you will use the Chinese Legal system.... wake up.. you will get nothing noting nothing. The whole nation is now born into corruption.
Don't forget the 1000s of other stories that are actually true - killing/aborting female children; poisonous baby Milk Powder made in corrupt national factories that killed 1000s; production of fake and often dangerous products, contract scams; payment and money transfer scams; false accusations for compensation. And the one where you could be seriously effected without even going to China: Chinese food imported products (you go to your local Chinese food Supermarket to get some tasty things...are you totally mad? Do you have any idea of the factories they come from? You would be shocked beyond anything you could imagine..)
@@African_AtheistLogic?
I have the following anecdote from a Chinese friend of mine:
When she was a young teen she saw a man passed out on the side walk in front of her school. Since he didn't respond she called an ambulance. Turned out it was an alcoholic who drank too much. End of story she got the ambulance, her parents and the teachers being pissed of at her and her parents needed to pay. Learning to never help anyone ever again.
Very sad how the society there evolved. In a western country she would have been a role model.
I'm curious. Why did her parents needed to pay? She couldn't force the man to drink, right?
@@corn1002 when the ambulance managed to wake the man up he said he doesn't need help, so the bill went to the person calling the ambulance. Not sure if they managed to settle it without having to pay in the end.

Don't get it... if someone falls down, on their own, ITS ON CAMERA. If they were pushed, ITS ON CAMERA. I CALL BULLSHIT.

I guess the whole point is that when people do really need help after a genuine medical episode, no-one will stop as the 95% of the incidents are scams.

I’m American and lived in Hong Kong with my family when I was 16 yrs old in the 70’s. We witnessed an accident while walking where a man got stuck under a bus. My father went to help the man but the Chinese people forcefully held my father back from helping. What they told my father was if he touched the man my family would be obligated to pay all his bills and take care of him, possibly for the rest of the injured man’s life. I’m 66 yrs old now and remember that as if it were yesterday. It was a horrible experience.
Same in Nigeria. Had some friends working on a highway project outside Lagos. There was a lunch break and one of the workers decided to take a nap in front of the asphalt roller. Lunch break ended, roller started up and before anyone could react, napping worker became part of the road. His friends kept up and grabbed the driver and threw him under the roller and he to became part of the road. Workers told my friends to stay out of it because it was a tribal thing. Friends finished the contract engineering side and left. Never to go back.

I was on a public bus pre-pandemic in a small Chinese city and we passed a woman who appeared to be lifeless, half her body on the curb but face down on the street (in the middle of winter). It was so surreal to see people just ignored what appeared to be a dead body right out in public. Very disturbing in a way. Great video.
I saw a dead lady boy on the street in Bangkok, it was a busy time and there were hundreds of pedestrians transiting past her without giving a care; not something I'm used to seeing.
Well, this helps to make sense of a peculiar situation that I experienced a few years ago. I was riding my motorcycle in the carpool lane in Southern California. Some other motorcyclists overtook me and passed the cars that were ahead of me. They were splitting the lane (legal in California). They passed a car that was just to the right of the carpool lane. That car swerved all the way left through the carpool lane across double yellows and sideswiped the center barrier. The car corrected and slowly came to a stop. The whole thing was really bizarre. I helped stop traffic so the man could get his car to the shoulder. When I went to check on him he started accusing me of causing the accident. It all seemed really scammy. When I pointed to the camera mounted on my bike he immediately switched his story and said that one of the other motorcyclists hit him (nobody even came close to his vehicle). He was a Chinese man, maybe in his 60's. I waited for CHP to show up and explained the situation to them. I don't think that his scam worked out for him. They're bringing the same tactics to America :/

One of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in China was a traffic camera showed a woman trying to cross a busy street when she was struck by a car, which kept on going. While she was lying in the road, she was struck two more times by motorists while she was trying to crawl away. There were plenty of people around who witnessed the entire thing, but nobody attempted to help her. They would just as soon let her die in the street. I would not have believed so many people could lack empathy if I hadn't seen it for myself. I am so grateful I don't live under the control of the ccp, and I pity the people that must live under that regime. It's also contemptible that ccp trolls make their living posting comments on social media showing support for the ccp while trying to conceal their identity. What a way to make a living, by selling your honor and integrity.
And yet they claim China is "so safe".... really? is it? if you're left to die in the streets, no one helping you, I'd consider that a very unsafe place. At least if you're ever shot in America, loads of people will immediately come to help you.

When e.g. The earthquake was in Japan now, and we talked about it then, but I didn't see the slightest sign of regret and sympathy.
Returning. So. Many Hong Kong colleagues have also been fired. One day they ate together, talked in the canteen, and then that's it. They also do not care about the fate of their former colleagues. I was disappointed in them. They are cold, unempathetic, cold, selfish people. They don't care about the fate of their countryman. You can say, don't generalize.

At least in EU as far as I am aware there is "good Samaritan law" and generally the liability is included in the basic liability insurance. At least in Germany. So if I try to help in good faith I am really not expecting any negative consequences. Its protected by law and basic structures.
Not only that, but at least here in Finland you are actually obliged to help by law! So it's actually a crime not to help! (Very rarely does somebody get sentenced for this though, but it's still a very concrete incentive on helping people in need.)
Yes. The Good Samaritan Law should be world wide, especially when it's proven true. Just ridiculous.
Germany punish people for not helping. That's BS as well. Just the other end of the stick
As long as you do not render medical aid outside of your training level.

I first went to China in 2001, my daughter was living there and I went for a visit. Loved it!! One day we were out walking and spied a fellow lying on the road - he'd crashed his 3-wheeler and there was a puddle of blood near his head. I instinctively started towards him to help (it was July, his head was cooking on the tarmac) but my daughter held me back saying that especially since I was a foreigner I could end up being blamed for the incident. We walked on, I'll never forget that. This has been an issue for a long time - and was one of the first things she was warned about when she moved there in 1999.
He couldn't find you after the fact lmao

That explains alot. I've seen multiple videos of people being in actual trouble in china and everybody just ignoring it. I always wondered what the hell is wrong with these people, now I get it. They are essentially scared to be scammed by fakes and don't wanna risk becoming a victim themselves. It's beyond sad.
And even when they know the person is really messed up they still don't help
Yeah idk I find it very hard to fathom that even if it's not culturally supported you wouldn't help a man bleeding out on the street. This just makes me angry at the people, not the policies
I lived a few hours from Wuhan for 6 years around 20 years ago and this sort of thing was very very common. What was also very common was people jumping on to cars waiting at traffic lights and then rolling off in order to get some compensation and paid for hospital time. This was especially prevalent with beggars during the winter as it would mean a warm room and bed for a few nights.
This happens in the UK and USA also as an insurance scam.
Happens in Canada also, in certain jurisdictions.
It started in Taiwan, too, but everyone started to get cameras for their cars.
Having lived in China I also experienced this. His explanation that once he began to help others that the Chinese would then be willing to help because he was then liable, I don't think this is completely accurate. I fully suspect it's true in some cases, but there's another aspect, saving face. The fact that you as a foreigner as willing to help, it makes everyone around you lose face. They are Chinese people not willing to help other Chinese people and here is this outsider, this foreigner, making us look bad. I word it like that because I literally heard it like that from several of my Chinese friends. So much of life there revolves around face and saving face, letting foreigners upstage you is definitely a loss of face scenario.
Makes perfect sense. Matches my own oriental experiences.
I also believe it is more of an ingrained cultural issue that date back long before the communists ! Empathy is mainly a judeo christian trait !
@@clitisswood7330 It most definitely is a deep-rooted cultural issue. One thing i'm quite curious about is the extent of the issue's existence prior to the opium wars. I have a suspicion that from that period forward the negative aspects of society were distilled and concentrated as society underwent devolution.
Absolutely ridiculous.
If you are worried about 'loss of face', the answer is to help.
Well if they don’t wanna lose face then why don’t take go and help? What does it have to do with a foreigner.
The amount of people who drove or walked by without even bothering to stop really is horrifying. How do they live with themselves?

One of the other teachers, a Chinese man who spoke English, saw me, and explained that I should do nothing and say nothing, otherwise the police may implicate me in the death. This was scary and I had the most awful bad conscience for years after the incident.

Not only China. It happen in many other countries.
This is messed up on so many levels. On one hand people who won't help others in need. And on the other people who fake falling and pretend to be injured. Like what the hell!
Some years ago I came strolling down the street in the winter time, when i noticed a small crowd and someone lying on the ground. I went over and found it to be an old lady lying face down.
Obviously she had slipped and fallen head down into the ground. I turned her over on the back and her face was covered in blood. Called an ambulance and made sure she was comfortable.
I have never been more proud to stand up for another person, apart from my profession within medical care.
Now imagine if this would have been in China, she would probably have died from bloodloss, chock or suffocation lying facedown into the ground.
I am happy that I, nor the old lady, or anyone else in my country lives in a country lika China.
My chinese ex pre-warned me not to help these type of people, it was a very difficult thing to conceive not helping someone seemingly in need but fortunately there weren't too many trying it. She told me they are more likely to target foreigners because there's a perception we're all rich.
Took me a while to understand what you meant at the end. I thought at first you meant foreigners think all chinese are rich, which made me LoL until it made sense. I don't think anyone past 2 yrs old thinks anyone in china is rich
And even when someone does not want to scam you and need actual help, their family might sue you regardless.
How depressing! I had no idea anything like this was happening in China. Thanks for the awesome reporting, as always.
I think poverty plays a big part. I was watching stuff on Cambodia and the guy said people won't step in to help as everyone is very poor and only looking out for themselves.
The Party foster this social behavior among the entire population out of their necessity of self-protection. A society without empathy towards victims is less likely to unite against the regime for a common cause.

I already do. After I was blamed for jumping in front of an European version of UberEats guy driving on a sidewalk. He was shouting at hist friends through the window, never saw me, hit me, cuickly steered onto the street and his friends told the cops I tried to kill myself.
Such cold hearted people. I can't understand not helping someone
I was in Italy a few yrs ago and there were a lot of Chinese tourists. I was amazed about how rude they were. Flights were cancelled from Florence to Rome due to weather and we had to take buses. They won’t form lines to get on buses. Everyone is just pushing and shoving each other to get in first, which made everything worse and just took longer.
They're the germans of the east
yeah they are not a civil society. I live in china now and there is some basic etiquette that they just don't understand. waiting and forming lines is a good example, they spit everywhere, they talk very loud and scream at each other... it feels like a third world country wrapped in a 1st world countries shell
I thought Germans were known for lining up and being orderly?
I've also heard the Chinese described as the "Jews of the Orient".@@Frpar123
@@mattmatthews1525 Not when they're tourists in someone's else's country.
Wow, this really got me. I lived in Wuhan China for a couple of years over a decade ago now, and it seems that everything I saw back then has only gotten worse today. What's amazing to me though is that all these years later, you finally answered a question for me!! Starting from my first weeks I saw many 'bodies' left on the road or sidewalks that people avoided and would go around. I couldn't understand why no one would help. I never got the answers to that until this video (and it makes perfect sense to me!). I did however learn very quickly to always be on guard both in my words and actions. It is NOT a safe place. My heart aches for the people of China and every day I pray for their freedom, for their ability to over come the evil they are trapped in. Seeing things like this makes me wonder if they can ever do it. I miss my students and the good friends I made there, but I can not contact them for fear of lowering their social credit score. Thank you, Sir, for posting these videos. it's so good to see (finally) more stuff coming out about the red state. Maybe this is how they finally win their freedom, when the rest of the world is rooting them on to take it back 💜
In Korea, people dislike the Chinese people more than the CCP. Since Koreans have dealt with the Chinese over 1000 years, the brutish behavior displayed by the CCP is pretty close to their societal behavior. In Korea, we say Xi Jinping and his people are one and the same.
That makes me so angry to see them do that to the elderly
**COMMUNISM IS HARMLESS**
**COMMUNISM IS GOOD**
**MARX IS HAPPY**
I understand, but those elderly are part they the reason they don't get help, what goes around, comes around.
i was literally typing the bystander effect as you said that and it made me laugh
I remember my ex Father in Law Alan, telling me about when he was living and working in Nigeria in the late 90s. He had a driver pick him up each morning to take him into work. One day, they saw the traffic slowing down and move around a bundle in the this busy road. As his driver went past the obstruction, Alan realised it was the body of a man (clearly dead) and his driver went past and accelerated away. When he got to work, the local staff explained to him, that if they had stopped, they would have been blamed for the man's death. The dreadful thing was that over the next few days, the body became squashed and flattened and because of the heat it dried and eventually ended up just like a dead animal on a motorway here in the UK. He never forgot that sight and I think it resonates with your story and I hope we never get to that point, where basic humanity of helping someone disappears.
Dude it isn't that far off in the west we are getting more and more to be like scammers so trying to help anybody is getting more and more tenuous.
@@thomgizzizNonsens, maybe in the US. In Europe you are obligated to help. If you don’t you might even go to prison for that. It’s everybody’s duty to help! In fact you are even protected while helping, as long as it’s in good faith nobody can sue you, and the state might even pay for things like cleaning your clothes if they got dirty while helping!
It's against the law in France not to help someone, in fact your culpable if the person dies.
@@outoforbit- exactly. The amount of help is varying, obviously. But even an elderly woman can call the ambulance if she sees someone tripping on the street, nobody expects her to rush out and pick someone up. Just help as good as you can, and we all win as a society! 😊👍
@@thomgizziznope
From Malaysia. Heard of this story years ago about China. Was told that when a road accident happens involving a pedestrian and a vehicle, the vehicle driver would try to "finish the job" in fear of having to be financially indebted for life towards the victim, even if it was a complete accident. Sounds crazy.
Crazy!😮
I heard actually it´s the secret of truck drivers, not just in China, but other countries as well...
Yes! Even the Philippines believe it or not! They say it's cheaper to pay for the funeral.
If you are teached not to help others, to take care of a person in need, how can a society become united and fight it's government? That's why those cases won.
Roshisama, the Zen master, liked to tell us the heartwarming story of the blind with the needle.. “ In the time of the Buddha there was a blind monk who wanted to repair his monk's garment, but failed to get the thread through the eye of the needle. The Buddha came to him and did it for him. ‘ Who is it that helps me like this? ’ asked the blind man gratefully. When the Buddha made himself known, the monk was deeply moved: ‘ You don't have to do something like that! You are the Awakened One. ’
‘ Being awake means serving others ’, said the Buddha. ”
I remember reading an article about a ferris wheel breaking and throwing all the riders to the concrete ground in China. All these kids were laying on the ground screaming in pain, some were dead. Grown adults were just standing around looking like it was nothing and not even helping. It was sick!!
😪sad very sad
I saw a video where a guys dog was attacking (and eventually killed) someone eles small dog. There had to be atlest 30 people watching doing nothing.
The owner of the big dog just stood there holding the leash the whole time, while the owern of the small dog stood there screaming.

Thank you for sharing this awful information with the rest of us. It is truly an abhorrent cultural behavior by the Chinese masses.
No, it's not cultural but a lack of legislation. I'll give you the background. Such a phenomenon is called the moral slope in China. It happened in 2006 called the PengYu Case, where a young man named PengYu saw an old lady collapsing when getting off the bus and helped her to the hospital. Later this old lady said PengYu knocked her down and asked for compensation. Although people think it was a scam, it's still a mystery whether PengYu knocked her down by accident. What really furious people was the court judge, who gave the most silly explanation to convict PengYu guilty. He said:'If you didn't knock her, why did you help her?' 'You should send her to the hospital, call her family and leave. But you didn't, which means you are guilty 'cause it's not our social norm.' And this particular case was spread by the Jiangsu Province ( like a State in the US) government as a great example to show off their achievements in civil mediation, The Chinese government loved to execute such communist-style performances, which made it more widespread to the public. ( The head of the province later became the Vice President of China if u are interested. Seems like all this mess does no harm to his political career.) Since then, not only have Chinese people avoided helping those obviously in need in real-life scenarios, but our school education also told us to mind our business and pay attention to scams. So instead of saying this is a cultural behaviour, it's actually caused by a lack of good samaritan law, biased court and school education. It's more like the banality of evil, where a rational human always chooses what causes no harm.
Bad governance is akin to bad parenting. And let's not forget why Chinese eat bats and many exotic creatures; it is because of the artificial famine that the Mao's regime inadvertently caused but is guilty of due to bad governance!
@@zhouyuxuan6026the judge found "it is not the social norm to help" thus he was guilty.....it has become the manufactured culture.
Remember this is CCP culture and not traditional Chinese culture. Really sad.
Imagine if those social experiments were done in China. The ones where a Childs left alone, or someone is hurting and see if anyone helps?
This is a example of what happens when a society as whole is in decay
H. G Wells "Time Machine" shows this type of human behaviour.. 🙈🙊🙉💀
You misspelled "species".
@kaptainwarp, you're decaying, I'm excelling.
Or when your government starts interfering with political candidates because a certain party has become entrenched in the civil servant area and can now do some really corrupt things over and over and over again until they get the people they want put in prison.
AMEN!
I did not understand why no one was helping collapsed people. Your explanation helps me understand.
That's horrifying. They have destroyed a basic human instinct.
I've been aware of this for awhile but it is truly disturbing. It's a sign of a failing society, for sure. Good video, as always.
Yes, China is a failing society, but it is not fair to blame it on this year's flavor of the Communist Party. Unlike those of us in Christian/Jewish/Muslim nations, China has never had a moral compass. While evil may not be in their DNA, it is DEEPLY embedded in their culture, going back hundreds of years. It just shows itself differently at various times.
If you think this is a sign of a failing society you should see the United States.
@@johnames6430the west*
@@johnames6430 but you don't see this in the US. There are countless videos showing people in sudden distress having multiple people stop to help them.

In Germany it’s even forbidden NOT to help if someone have a accident. You could even arrested if you not help someone in need.
In Spain the same is called "omisión de socorro" that means "evasion of the duty of rescue" or something like that
Germany protects good samaritans. China doesn't. How can they when the whole system is built to scam on everyone. If you want something done you have to bribe the local authorities. No decent system can thrive with pure corruption.
I'd much rather see the laws in these Countries, then the sad one in China.
I understand why tourists are always the ones who get involved now in US. I have seen first hand on several occasions now foreigners stepping in to help Americans in our own cities when our own people refuse. Specifically tourists from Europe. There must be something very different about their society in comparison to ours. They don't think like us. An American would think, what did they do to deserve it? And I notice the foreigner seems to think instead, this person needs help!
@@gingeralice3858 I dislike the foreigners way of thinking.
Very good information, keep up the good work , Bless you.
We had the same mentality in India a few decades back. In fact, our parents and family elders told us repeatedly, not to get involved. If somebody is getting beaten up, walk away. The authorities usually look for scapegoats. But it has changed with the younger generation. I however still have remnants of the conditioning. I hesitate to help people in need "it is someone else's problem". Sad but true.
Section134A of Motor vehicles act says that Good Samaritans should be protected from civil and criminal liability, the increasing number of CCTVs in various Indian States also give a confidence to the bystander of helping someone in need, my family members even Incouraged me to help if someone needs help, I am from Maharashtra state if you wonder.
Very sad. You will never have a civilized first world society if this is the mentality. In fact you won’t deserve it either.
India has a similar problem with China, you never know how the local authorities are going to act. Are they going to extort you for bribes, or if you try to help someone who was assaulted, did you just interfere with BJP gangs assaulting non-Hindus or Dalits and risk becoming a target yourself?

Spreading the messages of caution and tirelessly working to help open people's eyes; I am humbled to my core by you and Laowhy86. Please keep doing what you are doing it is important.
This video was sad and honestly upsetting. I hope the Chinese people one day will be able to push out from under the weight of the CCP.
At first I had thought you meant that bad policies had created an environment where it is unfavourable to help others. In Canada we have the Good Samarian Act that protects first responders no matter if they are a bystander or a professional from being blamed or taken to court for trying to help.
I realized that I should understand that this condition is a result of toxic governance where the intention of the CCP is to cause Chinese people to have little empathy for one another. If Chinese people empathized with other chinese people in need of assistance that is a receipe for the people coming together over any situation that creates empathy. The potential common person comradrey could cause the Chinese people to demand the CCP step down.
Empathy is bad for CCP survival, so lets give the grab-hag that is obviously being sneaky by pretending to be a victim all the money she wants for fake medical expenses etc. Then no one will ever help each other. No one will rise up against the CCP.
