A nation of lipreaders?

A few months ago, a Chinese official complained that the video screens on Metro (subway) trains screened too many commercials and not enough public service announcements. Metro bosses complained that they would lose revenue but, as I remember it, they agreed to change things. Well, there have been quite a few more public service ads on the trains lately. Problem is, many of them feature people speaking, and since there is no audio and there are usually no subtitles - even in Chinese - the whole thing is a complete waste of time of money.
