From your source: "the common portrayal of neighbors being fully aware but completely unresponsive has since been criticized as inaccurate."

Also, if you read the article, it mentioned Kitty Genovese, and how the tale was likely apocryphal. That being said, the issue isn't that there is a bystander effect, but why in China it seems like the bystander effect is higher than in other nations.

"sn't that there is a bystander effect, but why in China it seems like the bystander effect is higher than in other nations."

I guess that's the part I really question - I don't see anything to support that it's higher in China than anywhere else.
