Of for fuck’s sake. I jaywalk all the time and haven’t had a single 分 removed from my Chinese bank account. Have heard this story by hundreds of podcasters or their guests.

Here’s an idea. Why don’t people get on a plane and come see for themselves. Do that and I promise you’ll walk away with a completely different perspective of what is actually going on in China.

I was deducted 6 分 when I was photographed speeding by the camera.

Yes. That is definitely a thing in China. Speed traps are all over. Same to for pretty much any driving infraction. Now those cameras, the ones on the roads, they are effective.

Also zero tolerance for drunk driving. Get caught and it’s 10 days in jail no questions asked. Straight to jail.
