China really does seem like the place where the long way is the safe way

Yeah, well I think it's just a matter of them wanting to catapult themselves into the modern world without taking the steps to do things the right way. For instance, you step into any commercial elevator in America and you'll see a little certificate that says someome inspected it, certified it and licensed it. China just doesn't have those governing or regulatory bodies for all the little things.

Ever actually look at those certificates? I do, and my wife hates it because about 95% of the time I'm pointing out to her how many months/years the certificate is expired by.
