So all Chinese people are going around spitting, jumping, and being reckless.
Very interesting.

I live in China, and these three things happen ALL THE TIME. You people who have no clue should not be cluttering up his question with your non-answers.
Driving recklessly - the laws are different in China when it comes to car accidents. Pedestrians wander out into the street at any time and place. There are many very slow vehicles on the street that drivers must avoid (like a guy pulling a cart on a bicycle). When an accident occurs, it's the fault of the person with damage on the front of the car. So, if I pull out in front of you and you hit the side of my car, it's your fault. Different driving rules is all, since they have many many different vehicles on the road.
Spit - it's just dirty there. You inhale dust and it coats your mouth. People spit, rather than swallow because they think their mouth is full of dirt.
Jump in Line - I think it's just a cultural thing due to the sheer volume of people. If you wait patiently, no one will ever notice you since there's a billion other people. Only the most aggressive people will ever get helped in China. As Western culture dominates China more and more, they will learn on this one (for instance KFCs and McDonalds in China started using dividers to form lines and prevent this from happening).
I think it's funny that the previous answerers are calling you a racist, when 5 seconds living in China will show you that these very 3 things are big parts of Chinese culture.

Why haven't you noticed the other people that spit, jump ahead in line, and drive recklessly.

i never noticed the first two, second yea. but i also notice that others suck at driving too. blk wht brn ylw etc...
not race specific to be a sucky driver
the cutting in line is just rudeness... again not race specific.
i had a guy of indian persuasion cut ifo me in line and i called him out on it... he tried to act like he didn't understand english (after speaking it fine till i said something) till i spoke in universal 4 letter words... he went to the back
then 2 wks later a white guy did it... again he understood me plain as day
having no manners is not race specific... it's your upbringing and how much you give a flip about other ppl not just yourself

You are another generalising racist, I have lost count of how many of those there are.
