Contrast it with this video of People trying to get on a train in Japan. (note the name of the video: ""All hell breaks loose when a train is 20 minutes late" which I find to be almost a humorous contrast.
Japan has a lot of faults, no doubt about it. But you can see a fundamental difference in behavior between the Japanese and Chinese in getting OFF the train.
The Japanese ALL stand by (as they should) and let people get OFF. When they have to get ON, they push like hell to pack them in.
When the doors open on the Chinese train, there is no social "rule" that people adhere to that compels people to allow people getting off the train by waiting and standing aside. Like a bunch of animals in the jungle, it is every man for himself, pushing to get in, and to hell with the people getting off.
This does, I think, reveal a national character in the Japanese that explains why the Japanese, even 68 years after a devastating defeat in a war, can field a far smaller military that would still likely prevail over a far larger Chinese military if it ever came to that. (and also why some people in Asia still fear a militarized Japan)
Granted, the Japanese are a far more homogenous society than China is, but I think what you see in these two videos shows a profound, basic difference between the two cultures, and not to China's advantage.
You don’t see it in Seoul either. Lots of pushing and no concept of personal space, but you wont see this.
