    While I haven't been to China in many years now, probably 15 years or so, I well recall an incident where, staying with my host family, the father had just bought a new motorcycle and had left it outside his house. A few hours later, there was a commotion outside as one of the neighbors had spotted a guy trying to hotwire the bike. Pretty soon a whole crowd had gathered round the guy, and nobody recognized him, he was apparently a transient worker. They were asking him why, if it was really his bike, he was hotwiring it. When the actual owner finally came along and everybody recognized him and they could finally be sure that a crime was in commission, they quite literally ran the guy out of town - he took off running and the mob of people chased after him til he was outside the city limits. The interesting thing about this is that there was a police station just two blocks up the road from where this started. Not one single person bothered to go fetch the police. They all understood the police were only there to get after political/ideological crimes, and didn't care about any other types of crimes. Nope, the community has to police itself. And they do. Of course, that was a fairly small town where people do know their neighbors well and so that sort of thing still works, and good for them for looking out for each other. And shame on the police for not being willing to deal with actual real crimes like that.

    The advanced versions of these government fakes can be seen anywhere in the world: It's just that in western countries the politicians don't fake it using cardboard boxes, but million dollar "programs" where the money is just thrown down the drain of some billion dollar corporation. During my time as a computer scientist in a European university (Switzerland), I myself have worked in "government projects" which were supposed to bring "digitalization" to the smaller corporations. But it was utter fake as it did not nearly address the actual underlying problems of these smaller corporations. We all knew - but the goal and the method of the project had been decided from people earning many many times my salary. So you see - we have our own "cardboard police officers" in Europe...

A woman giving birth in the streets, and her newborn slamming into the concrete ground. A little girl run over by cars over and over. Newborn girls found in sewers and pipes. Drugged out infants while their “mothers” manhandle them. It’s despicable.

    Daniel Kahneman ("Thinking Fast and Slow") talked about how experiments showed that people tend to behave better when they think they are being watched. An experiment with a community coffee machine showed people contributed what they should have even if there was just a picture of something kind of like a pair of eyes in the coffee room. That's the motivation for governments around the world to try to make people behave by having them think they are being surveilled. China, of course, excels in this.

    You were saying that nobody was helping beggars on the subway. Yeah, as a Chinese, I feel the same. Once, as a college student, I tried to help a desperate couple begging for about 300 RMB (~$45) with changes I had on me (about 10 RMB). Never would I expect that they responded with a weird sneer, saying that it was too less without showing any sign of appreciation. I immediately realized that it was a scam, but they had taken my money away already. Now, I believe that it's mainly because of the economic & social status of many of us. When seeing no path to "pursue happiness", many resorts to "faking doing things", chicanery, or even crimes.

We went to the police station and the cops were very friendly and drove us back to the hotel. He even offered my dad a cigarette. It is just sad to see the Police isn't as helpful to its own people.

    Y'know, the reason you saw what the police did not is because you were able to view the situations there from and outside perspective. Nothing was normal to you (because it was a foreign country as a whole) so you paid attention to everything. That was why you were able to spot the criminals while the police were not. To them, a woman on the subway begging, is something to turn away from in shame. To you, that was something of intrigue and cultural difference. So you saw the people who were there in front of you, while others chose not to see. I also intervened to help someone while in China, and the only reason the problem was eventually solved was because a foreigner had made a fuss. (actually, as the woman who called the cops on my behalf explained, I "took responsibility for" the old man. ...as if to pre-distance herself from the situation. Very interesting)

They get moved very frequently (I believe every day) so that people don't start to realize its a decoy. If someone see's it, they can't tell its a decoy because its indistinguishable from random cop cars that just got parked for 30 minutes or so on the side of the street while the cop goes into a store or something (probably sneaking a smoke break lol).

    This isn't really rare when you travel Europe either. It's just to get drivers' attention, or to remind them to drive safely. In my town we have several cutouts that look like one or more children moving towards the street on roads adjacent to schools for example, and I live in a town of barely 3k people. Edit: Also speed cameras often aren't hooked up to anything,except maybe power, afaik. They just have a memory card that can easily be removed and exchanged by a cop or contractor that drives by the camera once a week or so. Being in Germany I am actually really happy with how the police operate in my area (and I am absolutely not a fan of cops or the government) insofar as the fact that they plan their routes very carefully. "More burglaries in the area recently? We'll make sure to drive by 2-3 times a day." or "It's school time? We'll make sure to have an increased police presence at the school bus stops, and routes." I really do appreciate the good parts of the police, even if I'm not a fan of a lot of what they do. I mean good luck finding a cop you can bribe over here, in the east and africa its easy.

And what is this for? Even the US has these kinds of problems for those who can see things as they really are.
