I live in China as a foreigner, I didn't lock my apartment for 3 years. In the first year I didn't even have a key since my flatmate lost it. I can literally walk in my neighbor's flat if I accidentally exit on the wrong floor. All their doors are wide open 24/7. Sometimes, small kids playing in the corridor open my door (the only reason I might lock the door hehe). Delivery guys leave all the boxes outside the front door. People leave their macbooks and bags unattended in coffee shops.
Surveillance surely plays a role in all this, the question is how much. How much is surveillance vs. the upbringing of an individual.
- fiblye 6y agoThis is somewhat common throughout east Asia. Setting a phone or purse down to reserve a table is something I've in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and even Vietnam. There's less of an idea that criminals will be deterred from crime because of surveillance, but that nobody is crazy enough to want to steal a phone or just walk into someone's house. A lot of people here just can't imagine the thought process behind committing crimes like that.
- fomine3 6y agoNo locking at home is common on some rural area in Japan, but I believe almost all people locks home on non-rural area. Stealing from house is a common thing in news.
