I mostly agree, but note that Japan has 126M people, so it's quite large.

- JakeTheAndroid 7y agoYeah, but when you compare 126m to 1.3b I feel like you'd expect to see drift between the results. That's 10x the amount of people. If only 1 in every 10 people in each country is willing to break the social norms and ignores social pressures, then China will have 10x the amount of these infractions compared to Japan. But yes, Japan is not a small country even if it is a relatively small landmass.
- CydeWeys 7y agoThe infractions are per capita. If a country has ten times the population and the same percentage of honest people, then it will have ten times the number of people breaking the social norms.
- wisty 7y agoChina is rapidly developing. A lot of Chinese people would LOVE to see a move towards a lot of what Japan has, they just haven't been able to implement it yet (because of historical reasons that left the country screwed up).
