I agree, this guy really hasn't seen the ugly side of China if he's writing like this. It's a scary goddamn place, and as much as everyone on Reddit/HN complain

  What horror stories? Do you mean kids regularly gunning their schoolmates? oh, sorry, that's in the USA?
  • zhemao 15y ago
    No, horror stories like infants dying of tainted baby formula because farmers tried to increase the protein count of their milk (by lacing it with a known poison). Like a child dying from being run over twice by cars because nobody thought to pick him out of the street. Like parents abandoning or killing newborn girls because they wanted a boy. Like criminals enslaving young men to work at brick kilns. Every once in the while, there might be some lunatic gunman in the US (as there are in every other country). In China, there is a pervasive sense that human life is cheap.

      The tragic occurrences you cite are not specific to China, even if some Chinese themselves seem to think so.

        Not tragic. Didn't happen to Americans. :) (See what I did there? Stop being so blindly nationalistic--admit that China has some pretty heinous issues re: food safety and consumer safety/confidence [fair or not])
