Psychopaths, plain and simple.
In the US, there is no incentive for psychopaths to kill people like this. In China there is.
Also remember that the incidence of this in a country the size of China doesn't allow you to make comparison to the US. Our population is much smaller.
Lastly, the per-capita murder rate in the US is higher (we rank 110, they rank 192) [1]. Even if you account for under-reporting in China, we have a more violent society.

- e40 11y agoI was clearly talking about the comparison of the murder rates in the US and China. And it's not just toddlers and preschoolers. It's all pedestrians, even old people.
