May God have mercy upon us! China is following the steps of the United States´ model of economic development. But the Chinese will take the squandering way of life to higher levels because of the humongous Chinese population. This is why the car fever has gotten a hold of the Chinese. Owning a car has become the in thing to do in this Asiatic country.

It is not surprising the China has the most traffic accidents in the world today. These are the leading cause of death for people under 45. In fact, the government has even a TV series featuring the worst car crashes on the roads (Video 1).


                                   China TV shows road deaths to new drivers.


Driving has become so dangerous in China that there is a vast array of lucky charms that you can buy for your car (Fig. 1).
