We think we finally have a handle on this.
Rule #1 - Don't stop. Matt almost caused a chain reaction crashing of motorbikes yesterday because he stopped to let one go in front of him. It seems like others anticipate your movement and base their route on that. A bit different from us not even trusting blinkers.
Rule #2 - Patience. NO ONE gets irritated. You will be cut off, horns will be honked and lights, signs and road markings will not be followed: No big deal.
Rule #3 - The larger vehicle is always at fault. If bus and car collide, it is bus's fault. If car and motorbike collide, it is car's fault. If motorbike and pedestrian collide, it is motorbike's fault. We heard this and think it has to be true, otherwise there is no way so many motorbikes could share lanes with cars and buses the way they do.
Rule #4 - When the light isn't changing fast enough for you, say that it is broken and proceed as you would like. Matt especially liked this one.
Rule #5 - When crossing the street take one lane at a time. Yes, you have just inches between you and cars moving past you on both sides, but when in China...
