The violent crime here and in China in general from western point of view is almost non-exisistent.

Someone else has posted on this thread stating they couldn't find relevant statistics easily. What you are saying may well be correct, it just seems that it's hard to verify with hard information.

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.
