One thing that drives me crazy about reporting in China is that reporters never ever comment on how China's huge population can screw with statistics, unless it can paint China is a bad light. And people are so fucking stupid to never question it. Like I don't think they quite understand that all things being equal, bigger numbers= more chances of things occurring. Like a tiny village of 100 people having a single murder a month is horrible, the village has to have something weird going on, like a serial killer or something. A megacity of 1 million people having a single murder every day is pretty normal. It's just a consequence of having more people. Even if China has the same exact living conditions and laws and government structure of Norway or Sweden, they will have still hundreds of times the amount of bad shit happening, because that's how numbers work. This is like basic concepts that even a 5 year old should be able to understand.

Even if China was a utopia, shit will still happen because crazy people exist. Even the commonly agreed upon "best and safest countries" in the world like Norway, Finland, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand etc etc, still have the random mass shooters, serial killesr, mass killers, crazy sadists etc etc. The difference is that China will naturally have hundreds to dozens the times of this people, even with the same conditions. And conditions in China are obliviously not at that level yet. Honestly, it's already insane that mass stabbings and mass murders happen as rare as they do in China, considering their population difference and income difference. Like even states like Norway, New Zealand, Sweden have mass shootings but China should have hundred of more times considering the population difference, a once in a decade event in other countries should be weekly events in China if all else was equal.

This applies to everything else as well of course. Building collapse even in America and Europe, but they will of course collapse more times in China because there's just more buildings in China, and China is pretty poor to began with. The issue is that large population or not, events like this still rise to the headlines and global attention and nobody ever comments on how China's large population can screw with statistics. They all report on China like it's some rich European nation with like 15 million people and treat it with the same standards.

Consider the alternative explanation:

The US notices China is showing off too many goodies at Zhuhai 2024, CIA activates sleeper agent in China to create the 2nd deadliest terrorist attack in China in a decade to smear Zhuhai 2024 and send a veiled threat to China. CIA's media division then gives "context" on how to spin the narrative in the worst possible way to smear China.

Western Journalists reporting on China aren't stupid, they understand basic statistics. They get paid to smear China, not to report the truth.

Of course I know that the journalists are biased, but the audience? They don't ever question it? This is basic math that a 5 year old can understand. Larger numbers= more things happening. Even Indians don't seem to question it, even though they also suffer from the same issue.

Impossible since we even know China is in the CIA's comms, any such operation would have been revealed and potentially caused a war.

Just a reminder that nations being in each other's networks is a common practice in the intelligence world (see below)
This stuff is so secretive it is nothing short of a country's nuclear capabilities
The problem is journalists writing a bunch of articles on topics they know very little about which is why I said its mostly to steer public sentiment

They have been intercepting comms in Moscow for half a century now.

Whats Iran's problem man. Even India is somehow more aware than them.
I don't think people should beat around the bush about just how unpopular the Mullahs are with the Iranian population, especially the youth. Yes they don't like the Americans and Israelis constantly threatening them, and I don't want to comment on the population's perceptions of Shia Islam since it is a very complicated issue that even native Iranians can't give a straight answer on.

But for such an educated nation that has a rich history outside of Islam, (unlike the Arabs who basically have Islam to thank for giving their tribal societies some semblance of unity) its not hard to fathom that many believe their potential has been wasted by the government's stringent rules and above all else the resources wasted on the Axis of Resistance project that has gone up completely in flames.

In turn, such sentiments extend to any country that is indirectly tied to the regime, such as China with its comprehensive strategic partnership, so some Iranians have a negative view on the basis that the CPC is complicit in upholding the Islamic Republic.

They are western wannabes who think that they're sooooo close to being part of the NATO bullies club, and the only reason they're not is because they're being held back by their government and indirectly, by China and Russia. They don't hate injustice, they hate that they're the victims, not the perpetrators, of injustice. They don't want to work hard either, because whats the point when they believe that if only they lick boot hard enough theyll be gifted everything by NATO? Typical "we wuz kangs" syndrome.

It's the same reason as why Myanmar, Mongolia, Philippines and Ukraine are so anti China too. They're more anti China than India and Vietnam that China have fought wars against. Its simple really: India and Vietnam at least respect Chinese strength and culture of hard work, and understand they will never, ever be part of the bullies club.
