looks more like a complete and utter lack of road sense to me from all parties.

seen one in India which as about 6 times busier and not one single accident !

as the guy commented under the second video.

eveyone is paying attention to what they are doing and what's around them and it works.

looks 100 times safer than trying to ride my Kawasaki round Paris a few weeks ago!
(much like China!)

Hope the Chinese Air Force have a bit more sense?

it seem to me that they just can't be looking where they are going...often plenty of time, lowish speed but they just carry on
