I suspect we can generate pros and cons for anywhere you might choose to live ... and within the U.S., there's a huge variation in things like violent crime and gun violence from city to city (or in the rural areas).

I'm happy to hear that the Chinese are so happy (and safe, etc) living in China ... everyone should get a chance at happiness.
