I have actually lived in China. You probably read the commie propaganda pamphlets they give you at the travel agency. I won't hold it against you because, well, your username/handle says it all....
Stupid wrote:I cannot help but chime in as you are very mis-informed. I have not been to Columbia or Britain, but both China and Japan have far lower crime rate, especially on violent crimes than USA.
If you'll please re-read my post, I said, "on a positive note, there is very little crime here." (Japan) Japan is very low in crime.
However, if you believe the Chinese government's commie crime statistics telling you that China is very safe, then I've got some invisible clothes I wanna sell you.... I've lived in China before and I can tell you for a fact that it is VERY DANGEROUS in China. I have travelled the world (everywhere except the middle east and Africa) but the only place more dangerous is Colombia. People in China would slit your throat for a shiny belt buckle.
Last year, I saw a crashed car with some bloody bodies strewn all over the road. I asked if my chauffeur if he's gonna stop to help them. "No," he replied and he stepped on the gas even more! The "injured" bodies immediately got up and jumped out of the way! They had pitchforks and large knives on them! Another time, my cousin called me and told me that she was detained on a bogus charge of "espionage" and they they would send her off to a gulag unless we paid the POLICE off. The biggest criminals are in the government. My home was constantly burglarized even though I had an armed guard! The armed guard was obviously working for local criminals. I fired the guard and hired another, and another, but they were ALL working for local criminal gangs. My pockets were constantly picked. There isn't enough space on here to list all the times I've been jacked in China.
No, it's not death penalty for firearm possession. I challenge you to show me the law that says that.
Gee, I wonder if you're actually a Chinese Communist! It's a communist country for God's sake! There is NO law! The "law" is whatever the bigger fish says is law. If a high communist party official says you're guilty of some bogus charge, then you're going to jail. Your trial would be a joke because YOU "lawyer's" job is actually to "help" you confess so that they judge would be more lenient sentencing you. I challenge you to find a common man (not a Communist party official or army general or police chief) who was caught with a gun and did not end up in front of a firing squad. If you don't pay a "fine" or couldn't afford to pay, then you're most likely going to end up in front of a firing squad or in a gulag. I know! My cousin was in a gulag!
no, you don't need to be a communist to be in military or police.(to own guns)
Yeah, right. How many political parties are there in China??? ONE, the commie party. Find me one Republican or Democrat in China that is not associated with the CIA or US embassy with a legal gun ownership and I'll buy you a lifetime supply of beer.
Gun permits (rifles) are available to hunters but very strict rules apply.
No rules apply, but very strict BRIBES apply. I have hunted in China before. It takes a fat bribe and someone will follow you around to makes sure you don't "cause trouble" with the gun.
No, you wouldn't be punished for being a vigilante. It's most likely that they would give you a medal and hail you as a hero. The Chinese are mostly taught to be vigilant and they rely heavily on community policing - regular citizens.
Wow, now, I'm sure you're a commie. You probably imagine that these "heros" would be making a speech in front of lots of red flags and fanfare, huh?
No, nobody will confiscate your personal stuff. There's no such law, justification or motivation.
Look up "communism" in the dictionary, please. It means you own ZERO stuff. The government owns you. Any high communist party official could rob you blind and rape your wife and if you do anything buy smile and say, "you're welcome," your entire extended family will end up dead in a ditch in a millisecond. EVERYONE I knew in China had stuff confiscated from them.
Two years ago, a friend of mine was walking down the street and a police officer said that he liked his watch and if he didn't give it to him, he'd arrest my friend because he kinda looked like a criminal.
Last year, an American Born Chinese I knew was kidnapped by the mayor of a MAJOR city in China because he suspected that she was a "western spy", but this suspicion would clear up if he was given $40,000 USD deposited into an overseas bank account. All communist party officials, whether they be police, or elected officials, or soldiers WILL rob/confiscate from you.
In which part of USA, do you NOT require time and money to own guns???
Let's see, in the USA, you can get a shotgun without going to class and getting registered. A brand new Remington 870 costs less than $300 in the USA.
In Japan, you'd pay $600 USD for the classes and registrations for permission to own a shotgun. Then, you'd have to attend monthly classes at $60 a pop and you'd have to take a day off of work to go to these classes. A used junky shotgun costs $300 in Japan.
Yes, being able to own a gun is FREEDOM. It is one of the many freedoms guaranteed in the bill of rights in our constitution. These are personal freedoms. Financial freedom is the freedom from high taxes. Some places have higher financial freedom and other places have almost as much personal freedom, but only the USA has a high degree of personal AND financial freedom. God bless America!

, and on track. I don't see many instances of folk wanting to migrate out of the the US. However, I do believe the exit door is open for those wanting to find their own Utopia.
