It's 10x lower than the West. Do you think the number being unreported accounts for that order of magnitude?

Higher than the 'West' being what? In regards to 'intentional homicide'. America? Sure it's lower... UK, Australia, NZ? Nope it's higher. What about rape? Yup lower than America, again, but still higher than UK, Australia, NZ, etc. 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.

  > UK, Australia, NZ? Nope it's higher. 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.

    I think you've been listening a little to much to Peter Dutton.

      > I think you've been listening a little to much to Peter Dutton. 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 feel much safer now after moving back to Shanghai from Sydney. 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.
