I thought this NYT article gave some good context. Didi promoted the ride sharing service as a way to meet people and for hooking up: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/29/technology/china-didi-chuxing-women-killed.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/29/technology/china-didi-chu... > So through suggestive ads hinting at hookups through driving, Didi pushed Hitch’s romantic possibilities. In a 2015 interview with the Chinese online portal NetEase, Ms. Huang compared Hitch cars to cafes and bars. And: > While it wasn’t obvious to female passengers that their drivers might want to hook up, the drivers knew. Until Didi deactivated Hitch, the car-pooling service allowed drivers to share comments with other drivers on the looks of their passengers, leading some male drivers to seek out the ones others had declared attractive. Murder is very rare in China. Very few Western countries have a lower intentional homicide rate (America's is 8.5 times higher), and I believe other violent crime is similarly low. (I hope this comment is okay.)
