I think you and
@Sophia_Helwani are correct - they just bolted a woman into a glass box and didn't give it much more consideration.
A quick boring story to illustrate what Im saying, years ago I was interviewing a guy to be property underwriter. Dude was an actuarial grad from one of our best Unis but grew up in China.
I showed him a picture of a loading dock outside large industrial building that was a piece of shit, obvious malicious damage, graffiti everywhere, no safety railing on the stairs leading to the dock etc and asked him what was wrong with the property?
First answer "Oh very hard to sell this building!"
"No mate youre an UW not a RE agent whats wrong with the picture?"
After more fucking around I said "Okay say you have a 2 year old nephew and he playing here what would concern you?"
"My two year old nephew dont play in this place"
Finally I started giving him the answers cause I wanted an actuary on the team, I could teach him the rest.
I pointed out the lack of a safety railing and that someone could fall off and injure themselves especially given its a loading dock where people are carrying large items and that the property owner would be held liable. Dude looked at me like im a fucking retard and said "Nooo in China no problem you fall down its because you very stupid"
Again dude was a western trained actuary and worked in between Uni holidays as a actuary for the bank of China here in Sydney so we arent talking about a dummy, dude is one of China's near elite. Maybe they are right, fuck my nanny state country sometimes.
