I would say it』s because China is safer than the US if you look at all the statistics.

我要說的是從所有統計上來看，中國遠遠比美國安全。

------------------------------------------

I have traveled across southern China alone and I almost never felt in danger. I have traveled to 35 states and almost every large city in the US and I have been mugged 3 times, chased twice, been yelled at and ridiculed and of course there are some places I would not dare go. I would not expect I would have that sort of experience in China.

我一個人在南中國旅行，幾乎沒遇到危險。我去過美國的35個州和幾乎每一個大城市，在此期間，我遭遇了3次搶劫、兩次被追趕、被人大喊大叫、被嘲笑當然還有一些我不敢去的地方。我不希望在中國體驗到這個。

------------------------------------------

Why is there a difference? I believe it is based on culture. The US was born in revolution, evolved and expanded through warfare and tamed the west with guns. We are a culture of violence. As a nation of immigrants, we are one people only on the basis of being of one nation of d beliefs governed by a Constitution. But as a nation of immigrants, that meant we had to leave homes, friends and family to walk into the unknown with death as our possible reward. That creates a unique perspective on life. We lived in harsh conditions and we had to fight for what we believed in whether we fought against nature, wild animals, bandits and thieves, gunslingers or neighbors. The reality we lived in has created a culture where violence is a characteristic, not an exception of life in America.

造成這種差別的原因我認為是文化。美國是在革命中誕生的，在戰爭中不斷擴張侵略，並以武力征服西方。我們是暴力文化。作為一個移民國家，我們是一體的這個概念只有以憲法為基礎並受其支配才能實現。但作為一個移民國家，這意味著我們必須離開家庭、朋友和家族，以伴隨著死亡的未知作為回報。這造就了一個獨特的人生觀。我們生活在惡劣的環境中，我們必須為自己的信念而戰，不管我們是與自然、野生動物、強盜和小偷、槍手還是鄰居作戰。我們生活的現實創造了一種文化，暴力是它的特徵，而不是美國例外論。

------------------------------------------

I don』t know a lot about the history of China or the other Asian nations except that it seems to me they never experienced 「A」 type personalities dying and fighting to live in a harsh land.

我不太了解中國或其他亞洲國家的歷史，但對我來說有點可惜的是，他們從來沒有經歷過「美式」類型的嚴酷大陸的死亡與戰鬥。

There is a difference in the crime cultures and justice system of China and USA.

中美兩國的犯罪文化和司法系統存在差異。

------------------------------------------

Crimes are also rampant in China, in terms of scams and corruption, but criminals generally know that they mustn"t cross the line. Major crimes like drug trafficking and murder are punished very severely in China, with death sentences being virtually guaranteed. (It also helps that death sentences effectively prevent such criminals from committing more crimes, thereby further reducing crime rates.) The government is often eager to meet out such sentences to set a public example to show to the people that it is not soft on crime. Criminals typically commit crimes to make money. Money is only useful when one is alive to spend it. The consequences of committing violent crimes become less acceptable to criminals, thus reducing the rate of violent crimes.

在中國也有欺詐和腐敗方面的犯罪，但犯罪分子一般都知道他們不能越線操作。在中國，像販毒和謀殺這樣的重大犯罪行為遭到嚴懲，死刑是逃不了的。(這也有助於有效預防犯罪，從而進一步降低犯罪率。)政府經常急於想要達成死刑判決，以樹立一個對犯罪決不姑息的公眾榜樣。罪犯通常為了賺錢而犯罪。只有當一個人活著的時候，錢才有用。暴力犯罪的後果對罪犯來說變得不容易被接受，從而降低了暴力犯罪率。

------------------------------------------

In the US, there is a pro-crime system which encourages risk-taking. The punishment for drug pushing is relatively light, limited to jail time of varying duration. Parole is often available. And if you can afford a good lawyer, one can easily walk free without any punishment. Considering that crime pays pretty well, the monetary benefits of committing a crime outweighs the potential punishment (which is non-life threatening anyway). They get released some time later, and go back to their life of crime for the easy money.

The same person is allowed to commit more crimes in his lifetime, whereas in China, the criminal would be sentenced to death (and that"s the end of story). The culminating effect of the former across the population will drastically raise the crime rate.

On a personal note, I think the proportion of law-abiding citizens is more or less the same in any country. Crime rates are largely determined by how the small minority of criminals and how many times they are allowed to commit crime.

在美國，有一個鼓勵冒險和犯罪的制度。對毒品犯罪的懲罰相對較輕，通常是時間有限的監禁，經常假釋。假如你能負擔得起一個好律師，你就可以輕易自由行走，沒有任何懲罰。考慮到罪犯付錢豪爽，犯罪的收益大於潛在的懲罰(至少不會沒命)。他們在監獄裡待一段時間就會被釋放，然後重操舊業賺快錢。

I would agree with the video that while China and the US are both pretty safe, China has less violent crime and the US has less traffic fatalities and safer food. I will note that both of those statistics are likely improving, with the US violent crime much improved as the millennial generation de-suburbanizes and driving and food regulations get implemented in China.

油管視頻鏈接被我刪了

我同意視頻里的觀點：中國和美國都很安全。中國的暴力犯罪更少，美國的交通事故死亡人數更少還有食品安全方面美國也更好。我要注意的是，隨著千禧一代搬去郊區後駕駛法規和食品法規在中國實施，中國的這兩項統計數據（交通事故死亡及視頻安全）都有可能得到改善同樣美國的暴力犯罪也會有很大的改善。

------------------------------------------

On a funny note, I have only been a victim of a violent crime in China and only been in a car accident in America, so all of these things are statistical, and your mileage may vary.

有趣的是，我在中國是一個暴力犯罪的受害者，在美國這只是一起車禍。所有這些東西都是統計意義上的，不一樣的可能只有里程。

------------------------------------------

Finally, there is a regional and geographical component. A well-to-do suburb in the US has no violent crime to speak of, or certain cities are known from having a more aggressive culture. Beijing is aggressive by Chinese standards but less so than say Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, on the other hand Dongbei is more aggressive than those two cities (well maybe not Philly) but the hoods don"t have guns. Also what would be an assault in America often goes unreported in China as the police push both parties to 「come to an agreement」 about compensation rather than charging people.

最後，還有一個區域和地理組成的差異。在美國，富人區沒有暴力犯罪可言，某些城市則更有活力，以中國標準來說北京是一個富有進取心的城市，但不如匹茲堡或費城。另一方面，東北地區比這兩個城市(也許不是費城)更有侵略性，但兜里沒有槍。此外，在美國，襲擊經常不上報而是直接罰款；在中國，警察則會推動雙方達成補償協議。

I will say that China feels safer. There isn"t any ghettos that you would unwittingly step into. Chinese people are loud and sometimes quarrelsome but they are less inclined to resort to unarmed or armed violence. Ladies walking in the streets are less likely to be accosted.

我會說中國感覺更安全。沒有任何你會不小心踏入的貧民區。中國人很吵，有時還吵架，但他們不太傾向於訴諸非武裝或武裝暴力。在街上的女士也不太可能被搭訕。

Very effective community policing and forced confessions that you see in Japan, South Korea make the People』s Republic of China, South Korea, and Japan very safe.

保甲法和刑訊逼供非常有效，中日韓因之而安全。

Also, extremely effective in South Korea and Japan is the national culture that strongly frowns upon odd, suspicious behavior & activities which will lead to immediate Police investigations and possible Police Raids.

First of all, China bans guns. In this way, society is safe.

1.中國禁槍。因為這個社會安全了。

Secondly, Chinese allows children to quarrel, but can"t fight.

Sixth, traditional culture. The Chinese think it is cowardly to beat oneself. The true warrior is on the battlefield, facing the enemy army. To put it simply, if there is a conflict in the basketball match, it should be solved on the court. A man who fights is a coward.

In this one he explained it well: there are fewer violent crimes in China but scams and thieves are omnipresent. I don』t think that the crime rate of China is lower than other countries, it』s just that they commit 「minor」 crimes, so you don』t really mind having 100 being pickpocketed vs being robbed at gun point.

有一點他解釋得很好：在中國，暴力犯罪較少，但騙子和小偷到處都是。我不認為中國的犯罪率比其他國家低，但那些至多是小偷小摸。因此，你大可不必隨身攜帶100歐元在錢包里用來打點持槍搶劫。

My friend Paul is a white guy married to Wendy, a Chinese woman and he has told me the story of how they were in Beijing getting into a transit bus when he felt a hand on his wallet pocket. He made a fuss, Wendy started screaming in Mandarin, cops appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the pickpocket, subduing him with their nightsticks before he could escape. It works for me.

我的朋友保羅是一個白人，和一個中國女人結婚。他告訴我他們在北京的故事：在公交車上，他發覺有人把手伸進他錢包里，嚇了一大跳。他的老婆Wendy用普通話大喊大叫，警察很快出現並捉獲扒手。小偷逃跑前就被警棍制服，這種執勤方式我喜歡。

I put it in 3 factors:

1.Gun is forbidden for residents to use in China, but not in US .

2.The punishment by the law is more severe in China. Almost all of the deliberate murderer will be sentenced to death.

3.Due to fast-growing economy, people" s lives are getting better and better. they do not have enough reasons to rob ot steal others

我歸結於三個因素：

1.中國禁槍，美國不禁。

2.中國法律森嚴。幾乎所有的故意殺人犯都被判了死刑。

3.由於經濟快速發展，人們生活越來越好。他們沒有足夠的理由去偷去搶。

Apart from all the good answers already given, another interesting fact is foreigners are generally given certain special treatments in China. It can be quite explicit, like the channels dedicated to foreigners in some places, or implicit, like the additional attention received while reporting an incident to the police station. A couple of examples:

除了上面那些好答案，另一個有趣的事實是，老外在中國被特殊對待。有些很明顯，比如某些地方專供外國人的電視頻道；有些則比較含蓄，比如在警察局報案時得到的額外關照一樣。

------------------------------------------

The Ningbo PD examined 4 ton of rubbish to successfully find a lost passport for a Russian tourist.

A stolen bike (only worth like 50 bucks) of a Japanese tourist was recovered overnight by the police.

It has gone to a point where some foreigners start a business by reporting lost property to police station on behalf of Chinese victims. These lost properties will have a much higher chance of being recovered.

幾個例子:

寧波警方在將4噸垃圾翻了個底朝天后，成功地為一名俄羅斯遊客找到了丟失的護照。

警察在一夜之間找到了失竊的自行車(只值50美元)。

在某種程度上，老外代報案成為一種生意，相比中國人，找老外代報案有更大的機會找到丟失的財物。

------------------------------------------

It』s quite bizarre but it』s true. A typical Chinese citizen would never expect such treatment from the police. Don』t get me wrong, it』s the same in western countries. If you lost a phone, the chance of recovering it by the police is quite slim. It』s just only foreigners can get these special treatments in China.

這個離奇的事情是真的。一個典型的中國公民絕不會期望警察給他們這樣的對待。別誤會我的意思，在西方國家也一樣，如果你丟了手機，警察找回它的機會十分渺茫。只有外國人才能在中國享受到這種特殊待遇。

Well to start out, amongst beloved countries, we have a very high level of crime. Even many developnig countries (even some Africa) have sometimes ranked higher than the US in safety. Consider the number of massacres and serial killings we have (much, much higher than any other developed country). Consider our ridiculous number of people incarcerated in this country (our country has around 5% of the world population yet a 1/4 of its prison population. Also consider the fact that, unlike most developed countries which have strict gun control laws, we have pretty lax laws when it comes to guns and thus there are more guns personally owned here than there are people in the US. Factor in a history of segregation and slavery and police brutality towards minorities, a history that absolutely effects us until this day, and it becomes easier to understand why America is a 「dangerous」 country to live when compared to most of the world. However, there"s the fact that America is such a huge country and obviously some places are more dangerous than others (compare Memphis, TN to Richmond, VA for example) so the question of whether America is dangerous or not really depends on where you are at the moment. As for China, I am unfortunately unable to give you too much insight into th since I have never been there and haven』t studied enough into their crim statistics to give an accurate answer. But I hope this answers your queetion as best as it can!

首先，在這個我最愛的國家中，美國的犯罪率非常高。甚至有許多發展中國家(甚至是一些非洲國家)在安全方面的排名有時也比美國高。想想我們所擁有的殺人慘案和連環殺人犯的數量(遠遠高於其他發達國家)。想想我們在這個國家被監禁的人數吧(我們國家人口大約佔世界5%，但卻擁有世界上四分之一的監獄人口。）此外，與大多數擁有嚴控槍支的發達國家不同，我們在槍支問題上管控相當寬鬆，因此在這裡的個人持槍數比美國人口還多。種族隔離、奴隸制和警察對少數民族的暴行，這一歷史因素對我們的影響一直持續到今天，並且讓我們更容易理解為什麼與世界上大多數國家相比美國是一個「危險」的國家。然而，事實是上美國是一個巨大的國家，地方大的話有些地方顯然比其他地方更危險(相比孟菲斯、田納西州和里士滿，弗吉尼亞)，所以美國是否危險的問題取決於你目前在美國的位置。至於中國，我很遺憾不能給你太多的見解，因為我從來沒有去過那裡，也沒有對他們的犯罪數據統計進行過足夠的研究，所有無法給出一個確切的答案。我希望這個答案對你的問題有幫助!
