With nearly 1.6 billion Chinese, 100,000 seems like a small number. So,
what's the big fuss?

I just can't see how GM "slaugthers" any Chinese for the decision to
buy, drive, and kill themselves is exclusively that of the Chinese.
Beside, with the way the Chinese drive in my home town here in
Australia, I wouldn't be too surprise if the rate could be higher.
Chinese and driving don't seem to go together!

Your subject heading reflects your serious lack of logic and reasoning.
