| ...and you forget one more thing - the snowiest winter for some years around in China, just around the spring festival. I think you should consider 2 very important things though: 1) Many accidents happen not only in China. The rate is increasing in the whole world as well. There're more cars than before, drivers are less careful and more anxious, there're much more people travelling and commuting every day. More to it, due to the global warming there're more natural disasters - floods, hurricanes, blizzards, droughts and so on. The funny thing is many people think it's a local event conserning their country, but unfortunately it's all around. It's the price of living in a globalising world lead by capitalism, egoism and CONSUMPTION. And it's not only in China. 2) This year China is holding the Olympics (as you all probably know). Chinese government had endured a lot of criticism about the freedom of speech, so this particular year they gave a "human look" of the press. This means even if the same things happened last year, this year they will be more spotted by both Chinese and the whole world. |
