中國式過馬路 Run a Red Light in China

  China has begun a nationwide campaign to cut down on jay-walking. From today, pedestrians in Beijing will be fined if they are caught crossing the street on a red light or jay-walking. But as CCTV reporter Wu Guoxiu finds out, people think the fines can only be partly helpful.
  Red means stop. Beijing pedestrians routinely ignore it. Beijing will fine pedestrians running red light, 10 yuan for a pedestrian and 20 yuan for a cyclist. Wang Anguo, Vice Director of Xicheng District Traffic Police Squad, Beijing, said,"From today onwards we will punish people who do not follow the policeman and the traffic regulations, to improve order at the crossroads."
