i think you asked the wrong question it should be does anyone have any common sense in china and if so what could it be   ... i know for a fact no one driving here has any common sense including me but at least i follow the rules  driving here reminds me of a video game i used to play

siyingyuan:

wonder if anyone ever tried to drive in a "full of common sense" western way in China, and see what happens?

  I'm not so sure they lack any. I mean people drive like they're drunk but isn't that because road rules aren't enforced and China's roads are so new to vehicles that don't have baskets and bells? Road law and road etiquette evolves. China's just had a bunch of cars dumped in it and been told, "Go drive." At 44 i'm certain i've been driving longer than 99% of the population. So I don't think common sense is the problem 'there' any more than anywhere else. What are the other areas where their common sense seems flawed?

Chinese often have no kind of common sense, but they do share a common stupidity with some things they believe. No thinking for themselves, no imagination.

 My common sense leaves when I think with the little head.

mArtiAn:

  Hold up a minute, if they don't have common sense, then it ain't common sense or it would be 'common', so they must have common sense 'cause it's common, that's just common sense.

I think they have plenty of common sense...their own kind of common sense. Of course, it doesn't make any kind of sense to anyone outside of China. But look at all the things we used to think were common sense that have been debunked only recently.
