Was just watching the new Coaster College video about the roller coaster accident that happened in a park in Shenzhen last October, and while the video was good, man, so many of the comments are exactly what you'd expect about anything related to China

The funniest ones were the "made in China" ones, when the coaster in question was made by a US company 😂

It's also pretty funny for people to act like there's fewer repercussions for Chinese companies for this kind of thing, when the video even mentions that the investigators sent by the city directly recommended criminal charges against multiple managers from the park in question, which is wild when these sorts of accidents in the US almost never result in anything resembling criminal charges, usually the people responsible don't even face any consequences

It's also interesting to see people mention it as being unusual that the Chinese government is so open about something (since the investigation info is available to the public), unfortunately I doubt they'll look at this and question anything else they've been told about China's government
