He specifically mentioned even with triple the population, and not counting gang-related violence, that violent incidents still occur much more frequently in the US.
More frequent is an understatement. There simply is no comparison between the US and China when talking about mass shootings or killings. Don't try to excuse him. Read between the lines, not just what explicitly stated. After putting the US and China in the same level and category, then his true intention is stated by this statement which I have proven is completely false. I don't understand why you defend him.
"But guess what? It still happens with enough frequency to be a massive cause for concern. America and China are some of the only places in the world where such incidents happen with yearly frequency and in the context of Asia, China is unique in this phenomanon. Not even high pressure South Korea, Thailand with a similar development level, or poorer countries like Philippines and Cambodia has such a phenomanon. (Although if you can prove me wrong here go ahead)"
There is an overwhelming trend on this forum of people liking to make comparison between China and US/Europe whenever anyone brings up any criticism. Anyone that points out any negative news is called a troll. Although there have been actual trolls that have posted on this forum between being banned, not everyone that points out criticism about China is a troll. This behavior is no different than the uneducated posters on Reddit/Quora that labels anyone as saying anything positive about China as a wumao or as being paid by the CCP.
I don't care if he is a troll or not. What I care is his statement is true or not. Criticism doesn't give him the right to spill lies and twist facts.
Why are you so concerned about being inclusive and tolerant? What matters the most are facts not appearance of inclusive by giving people free pass of saying half-baked facts. From Reddit, Quora, to any MSM, comments, articles, and opinions are China is bad and evil regardless of any topics. SDF is only a few places that allowed to refute such lies but you think we should be more humble and tolerant in refuting lies and false statement because you think being objective means that you need to accept any criticism even if such criticism is trojan horse.
A country gets great by identifying ways in which it can improve and address those areas, not by being comforted that other nations are doing a worse job in certain areas. Deflecting every criticism and constantly trying to come up with comparisons that paint their nation in a favorably light is what the Jai Hind types do.
Great nation failed when its history is twisted, when facts are blurred, when truth is step aside in the name of harmony, when achievement and greatness are downplayed, when shortcomings and failures are exaggerated, when your citizens bend their knee thinking that your country and your people are inferior.
As a person who grow up in HK, I can state one simple fact. When fake criticism and twisted facts tell hundreds time, then it would become true. That's the exact what happened in HK. As many HKers kneel down against the Whites because they feel inferior but at the same time look down against mainland Chinese because they feel superior. Why, because so called objective criticism is an attempt to demonize Chinese race as an inferior race that the only savior is to learn and kneel down to the superior race of Anglo-Saxon.
