YT comment : "I always thought that the Chinese people were brainwashed, and then I found out that it was me!" Some thoughts on why China is such a safe country : At root, crime is down to poverty and an over-the-top individualism. Western style democracy is really divide and rule - the moneyed elite love it, how the people are so easily fooled and controlled. Projection - what the West accuses China of are actually its own faults. Western democracy is top down and all about big money. In China, democracy is bottom up and meritocratic. The reason for the West's antagonism is not about politics, but success; the US wants to control the whole world (hegemony); and Western style democracy, if they can establish it in other countries, makes that easy. Friendly people are happy people.
