What to be afraid of in China?

The Taxi Drivers. Well, actually, to be fair, all Chinese drivers. They literally stop for nothing. A pedestrian crossing a busy street will encounter cars honking at them but no stopping or even slowing down on the part of the vehicle. People usually stop in the middle of the busy street, then wait for cars to pass by, then start to cross again. It seems that cars always have the right of way in China. Now, I understand why women walk in pairs here, always holding hands or holding each other under arm.
