Cops in China are both rare and worthless at controlling street crime....................................................................................
China doesn’t have a monopoly on this, just look at Chicago today.
There's no comparison. China is far worse in terms of petty economic crimes. I have no clue about the murder rate, since no one I know has been murdered - on either side of the Pacific. I do know that I am acquainted with ten times more people stateside than in China, and I know many more Chinese who have had stuff ripped off via street robberies or burglaries.
