I am happy that China has been able to raise a lot of people out of poverty, and greatly improved their infrastructures. They are also mass polluters and support warmonger countries like North Korea and Russia, both of which China supports economically despite sanctions. I am happy that quality of life has improved for Chinese people, but I cannot get over the fact that China has a bad reputation in international affairs, and being a westerner myself, I will care about my quality of life in the EU, not that of the Chinese people. Please stop supporting Russia's threat to the EU.

You are spot on about the confucius cultrue making a difference. In China，there is the term 儒家文化圈 meaning confucius cultural ring which covers all the countries and regions that uses Chinese characters or used Chinese characters in the past in their languages. This basiclly include the Greater China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and maybe Singapore and part of Malaysia. What you will find in common of these countries, among other things, is less violent crimes, cameras or no cameras.

You are very insightful. Chinese culture is as mixture of Confucius, Buddhism and Daoism. Confucius tells people to value virtue, personal cultivation and family relationship. Buddhism teaches people karma and retribution. Everything you do, good or bad, has consequences. Daoism values the harmony among oneself, people and universe. Chinese don't think one can get away with guilt by pray or something. If you commit something wrong, you have to take responsibility and bare with it lifetime. Chinese style pray or worship mainly for paying gratitude or good fortune.

Hearing ‘Flower of Scotland’ and bagpipes encouraged me to share this wee story: In Melbourne, I played drums in a Pipe Band for 30 years (age 10 to 40). In 1994 I moved to Hong Kong (it was the only way to escape the band - leave the country - or so I thought. Day 4 in HKG I receive a call from the Pipe Major of the HK Pipe Band. They’d been told I was in town and asked if I would like to join. I did - as a drinking member! Scots are everywhere in Asia. I have proof having judged the drumming at a Pipe Band contest in HKG Covention Centre. Band after band, all in full Scottish kit and EVERY player being Asian. It took me a little while to get used to it but it was a most wonderful experience - and totally unexpected. Hope your lum is reeking. Stay well.

People normally steal out of hunger and desperation. When the social fabric is stable and when the society is free from extreme financial hardship, crime rate will be low. Security cameras are necessary tools to help control crowd especially in very large cities and to facilitate tracking of crimes. Security cameras are not exclusive to China but are installed by many countries in cities like New York and London but with little significant impact on crime rate as compared to China. A combination of civid consciousness, culture, education, financial well being and strict law enforcement etc contributed to public safety and order. In China, no individual rights or freedom is permitted to override public common good.

[@cheungchingtong]

I went to the UK for my uni study 14 years ago, at that time China was way less advanced and safe than what it is now, but I could already sensed the decline, unstable vibe both on security and economy in European countries compared to China, especially in big cities like London, where I studied in, compared to Shenzhen, where I did and do live in now. It is more of a systematic false, an irreversible and unchallengeable destiny of the path of the Western hegemony, which built on old-time and neo colonialism, without more others to exploit, it gets less cheaper recourse to power up, leads to less self-driven power to improve and innovate, which has less capability to compete, then less market shares to make profits and less fortunes to subsidies domestic the first-world way of living, and so on back and forth. So I think it is really a tipping point for the European Governments to reconsider their choices, whether to stick with Uncle Sam or be more independent, and change their ways of thinking towards to regions outside of Europe, aka the white man's burden. Some of my classmates also from China at the time chose to give up their nationalities and immigrant to the UK and the US, and some of those who are still in contact, told us that they really wanted to come back, but unfortunately, the Chinese citizenship is more or less an one way ticket.

中国在过去几十年的经济和社会进步无疑是惊人的。快速的工业化、基础设施的发展以及扶贫工作使中国摆脱了极端贫困，并成为全球重要的经济体。然而，在这些显著成就背后，仍存在许多挑战和复杂的现实。 中国的外交政策引发了许多关注，特别是对朝鲜和俄罗斯的支持。尽管中国支持联合国对朝鲜的制裁，但仍与朝鲜保持重要的经济联系，常常抵制更严格的制裁。此外，中国对俄罗斯在乌克兰的侵略行动没有公开谴责，反而加大了与俄罗斯的贸易，间接削弱了西方的制裁力度。 在国内，中国的经济增长伴随着收入不平等的加剧，尤其是城乡之间的差距。虽然北京和上海等城市繁荣发展，但许多农村地区仍然落后，缺乏优质的教育、医疗和就业机会。此外，工人的福利也是一个值得关注的问题，许多人面临长时间工作和低工资的情况。尽管工作条件有所改善，但劳工活动常常受到压制，劳动纠纷的信息也被严格控制。 中国的人权问题依然严峻。政府对媒体和互联网的严格控制、对异见者的镇压以及缺乏自由选举的状况，与民主社会享有的自由形成鲜明对比。少数民族，如维吾尔族和藏族，面临严重的虐待，政府将其政策称为维护稳定和社会秩序的必要措施。 中国的环境问题也是一个重大挑战。作为世界上最大的温室气体排放国，中国面临严重的空气和水污染。虽然政府采取了措施应对这些问题，但快速工业化带来的环境影响依然显著。 中国政府在宣传上投入大量资金，以塑造公众舆论，往往淡化负面新闻，同时宣扬成就，激发民族主义情绪。这种单方面的描绘掩盖了中国社会政治景观的复杂现实。 总之，尽管中国在经济和社会发展方面取得了显著成就，但这些成就不应掩盖仍然存在的巨大挑战。经济不平等、工人福利、受限的自由、环境恶化以及有争议的外交政策都对中国的未来走向提出了严重的质疑。全面认识中国的现状需要既看到成功，也看到需要显著改进的领域。

I have to disagree with Ian here. I myself have personally witnessed petty crimes on the street of Guangzhou, and I've got a friend who got robbed broad daylight on the street of Beijing, the main reason for fewer pretty crimes these days, I attribute to digital payment, that is cashless. Within maybe just 10 years people pretty much have stopped using cash. Thieves and robbers disappeared because even when they get their hands on your phone, it's next to impossible to access, let alone used it for payment. Another reason is the end of absolute poverty, meaning fewer people are despair enough to do crime, especially when there's little to gain, and high chance of getting caught (cameras).

Thank you for the comment - I am never that nice to not know that crime in China does not exist but it is in a much less of an issue as it is in the west. You highlight the reasons why. 👍

With rising mindless nationalism China is not as safe as it used to be. That's a fact. I lived there for 7 years. Big contrast from the first year to the last.

My first president, Soekarno, said something offensive to the US and the next couple years he was overthrown by a CIA-supported coup de etat. Similar as what happened to Khadafi and Saddam. So, the whole world but few countries like China is a dangerous place when it comes to challenge Uncle Sam's hegemony. 😅

Hiya - I don't think it's the culture...I mean, every culture promotes the well-being of its society. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a society for that culture! I rather think it's the economic system - socialism vs capitalism. Capitalism is a system that promotes class exploitation. Therefore, thieves or robbers are, in essence, no different from an army invading a country for plunder. Say, Iraq, for example. Socialism, on the other hand, is a step towards Marx's "From each according to gis ability, to each according to his needs". In such a society, there is no need to steal or rob. I quoted Rosa Luxemburg here before, and I'll quote her again: "We will end up with socialism...or barbarism".

You are wrong, but you will always believe you are right…. So who is controlled, you or me. See how that works, ignorance and stupidity like what you are displaying is always laughed at. Then people like you are the first to be sent to the front line… to fight a rich man’s war… and when you are staring at your legs from the other side of the room…. You might just ask yourself, oh why didn’t I listen and then… you bleed out. Blackness. No heaven. No hell for you… just the circus you lived within every moment of the life that you were given but you squandered because you didn’t dig deeper into the background of your handlers. 😂 🤡 🎪
