> A kid chasing a ball out into a crowded street is more likely to survive in China Han the USA.
That sounds nice but the fact is more people per 100,000 are killed in China than the US.

China has about 2X per-capita road fatalities, and almost 10X per-vehicle fatalities as the US.

Someone doing X being more likely to survive in China than the USA doesn’t mean the USA will have a higher fatality rate (since people just don’t do X there).
I'm curious about how you might have ever planned to back this weird argument up with evidence. Is there some secret repository of kids-playing-with-balls evidence that you were waiting to bust out? Or were you just going to try to first-principles it?
It just doesn’t happen in the USA, people aren’t prepared for it, which is well enough since the fatality rate is still low. It will happen in China if you spend a few week there.
