The 'west' isn't JUST America.
But India is a country where honor killing, and the caste system are outlawed, yet, honor killing and discrimination by caste still exists outside of major cities.
I feel much safer now after moving back to Shanghai from Sydney. There is no shooting in Shanghai whatsoever, but that seem to be pretty common in the western part of Sydney. Melbourne is now on another completely different level, you have gangs attacking each other using grenade.
One thing I really like is the fact that I can safely walk on any street of Shanghai at 1:00am and without the fear to be attacked or robbed, I won't be stupid enough to do that in Sydney or Melbourne.
Peter Dutton is a moron, he couldn't even manage the trans tasman relationship well with kiwis. What you can possibly expect from him.
I'm not talking about China. China is weird when it comes to crime, like the case of the guy welding a sword in public and no one battered an eyelid. Because violent crime like that just doesn't occur in China.
I live in Singapore, where you can leave your phone in a public bathroom for an entire day and no one will touch it.
The violent crime here and in China in general from western point of view is almost non-exisistent.
Imagine, day after day, the news saying, "and another 47 people were murdered today in America, including 13 in Chicago, and 4 each in Baltimore and Houston".
While the homicide rate in the United States is dropping, there were still ~17000 of them in 2016.
Most Chinese people I know feel much safer in their homeland than in the west. Funnily enough some of them even prefer eastern parts of Europe for the same reason.
