    My "favourite" aka the one I hate the most, is every take about how "In China they won't help a stranger on the street because they will get sued for it".

    Not only is that of course a story you hear frequently in the states or literally anywhere(plus in the states you will get people begging you to not help them by calling an ambulance), but the actual story this myth was originally based on, as far as I've been able to read about it, the "good samaritan" was sued because he originally pushed the victim over before trying to assist(wish I could recall where I read it though so I could link).

    Bystander syndrome/apathy towards others is not a local cultural thing.
