It is very common in Shanghai for people to perpetrate accident fraud. Actually, it happens in a number of European and Asian nations. Hence, the number of dash cams overseas. And hence, this video below for the world’s worst actress:
From NPR:
The Chinese term for this kind of fraud is “pengci” — literally translated as “touch porcelain.” During the Qing Dynasty, a person — usually from a formerly wealthy family — would dress as a nobleman, position himself in a crowded public place holding expensive-looking china (usually fake) and let others “hit” him, causing him to drop the china. He’d then demand compensation.
The Oscars are in February. Worst actress in a foreign film, hands down. — [eric]
