> China is one of the safest countries in the world.

Is there actual statistics? The only source I found is from GlobalTimes which is clearly a mouth piece for China. The numbers also seem to be self reported. I trust it less than I trust the GDP numbers from China.

Safe is one thing. But what happens if you do get into trouble. Do you trust the authorities there? Last I heard, even the police chief has unknown sources of income.

So it’s one thing to say it’s safe. But when in trouble, I still trust the system elsewhere.

If you ever been to China, in general, you are safer from my anecdotal experience.
