Monday, December 21, 2009 - Police

Police presence in Chinese cities is basically a joke.

Traffic rules are not enforced. Even better, the police itself can often be seen flaunting the rules they are supposed to uphold. They’ll bulldozer their car over a bike lane whenever they see fit.

Food stands are everywhere in China and if you’re careful you can get great food from them. Just don’t eat the meat, because that’s kind of a Russian roulette.

Anyway, shops like these are supposed to obtain a license, but of course they never do. So the police goes around in cars with speakers mounted on top and shouts at them. They don’t even get out of the car; they just shout at them from the inside. And the vendors move their carts away for a minute until the policecar moves on, and then push them back.

It is stupid. It is futile. It’s life in China.
