It’s called “Bystander Effect”. Basically for us in the west when we see someone in distress we automatically try to help that person. In China the mentality is “its not someone I know so why should I care” or “its not my business, so I don’t want to bother with it, let someone else deal with it”. It’s society wide apathy syndrome. Remember the case of Yueyue, the 2 year old girl who got hit by a car twice in a row because nobody bothered to help her out until she perished. In an interview with the driver, he basically said if she died, he would only pay 20,000 yuan in penalties, if she lived and is crippled he had to pay 100,000 yuan. It’s a heartless society devoid of compassion. And I agree, Taiwan is completely different, people actually care. Traditional Chinese values are intact in Taiwan while in China it is decimated and replace with extreme materialism.
