Does driving through when the front wheels cross the line in the last second of the yellow light count as running a red light?

Driving through when the front wheels cross the line in the last second of the yellow light does not count as running a red light. According to China's traffic regulations, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light is flashing are allowed to proceed. However, it is generally advised not to force through at the last second, as this is a very dangerous behavior. In such a situation, the vehicle should be stopped immediately to wait for the next green light. If the vehicle has just crossed the line and the driver does not continue to move the vehicle, keeping it stationary, the traffic authorities will not consider it as running the light. There is a three-second transition time between the yellow light turning on and the red light turning on. Electronic police operate 24 hours a day, but they do not capture images when the yellow light is on; they start capturing images only when the red light turns on.
