New law in Texas will make drunk drivers who murder parent or guardian to pay child support to the child of the deceased until the child is 18 years old.

Doesn't China have a similar law? iirc if someone is injured or disabled the driver is liable to the person's expense for the rest of the life or something, so people just straight up run them over if they hit someone and they are still alive. I worried if that might be what is gonna happen to the child if this law passed
