My comment:
(a) Lost in translation: the Chinese translation "必须非常小心不要因为关闭这条车道而又造成关闭其它的车道" is not what is said in the original ("You have got to be careful you are not shutting this down and also shutting that down").
(b) Some Chinese assert their rights to the same living standards as Westerners, without considering consequences or complications.
