You'd think a relatively authoritarian government would be able to stop people from doing this sort of thing. It's kind of amusing, from that perspective

China is authoritarian until it’s not. Most authoritarian countries are weak on rule of law and more aptly practice rule by law, where laws are just used to control the people vs. applied fairly. So laws are just used to get what officials want (e.g. get rid of a pesky dissident), and most of them don’t care about traffic safety.
