Actually, I see several good ideas. The best idea would be to nuke Canada, though.

What's so difficult to understand about the necessity of nuking Canada?

2. Informative stop lights

In Tianjin, a city of 13 million people, traffic lights display red or green signals in a rectangle that rhythmically shrinks down as the time remaining evaporates. In Beijing, some traffic lights offer a countdown clock for both green and red signals.

During a red light, you know whether you have time to check that map; on a green light, you know whether to start braking a block away -- or to stomp on the accelerator, as though you were a Toronto or Montreal driver. (That's probably why Montreal has a few lights with countdown seconds for pedestrians.)


this would result in nothing but traffic accidents. americans are awful drivers.

The didn't mention that toilets haven't really made it in China yet.  Squat over the hole and aim is the name of the game.  I'll take toilets over on-the-spot cuff hemming any day, thanks.

Quote5. Anti-theft slipcovers

What do you do with a purse in a restaurant? It can slide off your lap, and looping the handle over the back of your chair is an invitation to a thief. In China, when you sling your purse or laptop or coat over your chair back, a waiter hurries to toss a tasteful slipcover over it. It foils thieves, and also protects coats from food spills. Some restaurants provide hooks under the table for purses.

They couldn't do that here, many women would be admitted to hospitals with head wounds.
