The retractable doors dubbed "killer" represent a serious safety problem, as they cannot be opened from inside or outside in case of a serious accident or flooding. These doors have caused significant alarm, especially in China, where a record recall was ordered. However, the article raises the question that, despite the risks associated with these doors, Europeans do not seem to be as scared as the Chinese about this issue. The text suggests that there are differences in how different regions of the world respond to these safety problems. The discrepancy between China's response and Europe's apparent indifference to this danger raises questions about safety standards and regulation in different markets.
