It was a good decision, because the last thing you wanted to do when riding in a mass of commuters was to slam on your brakes and cause a pile-up. You needed to just go with the flow and not make any sudden turns or stops. Since the rod brakes only slightly slowed the bicycle there were no rear-end collisions.

I'm pretty sure that rod brakes are the wave of the future. No cables
to brake. No hydraulic hoses to leak. They will be much more
reliable. Buy replacement pads at any bicycle shop in Shanghai.
complain that they did not stop fast enough.
