While Japan's legal system is certainly deserving of criticism, who's isn't?, this stat is thrown around without any understanding of what it really means. What is the conviction rate in your country of residence? What does conviction rate actually mean in the context of the legal process in your country and Japan? If you don't know the detailed answers to those questions I suggest not making such grand claims about equivalence. Here is a short radio episode explaining this topic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3csz3s5 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3csz3s5 Edit for clarity: The parent has for some reason edited their comment and now it looks like I was defending China's rate in my reply. They originally made an equivalence claim between Japan and China and I wanted to add information explaining that this stat doesn't necessarily mean what it's often at first glance interpreted to mean. The parent then replied to my comment with a reply that suggests their edit was in fact malicious. But I can't be sure of that.
