Remember, China is a highly populated country and personal space is a luxury the Chinese do not have. The concept of forming or getting in queue is a suggestion, at best. If others who cut in line and even push past you start to raise your blood pressure, remember, it’s part of the culture so don’t hesitate to move defensively.
