Not sure the Americans are in any position to preach when it comes to their incarceration and capital punishment policies.

In comparison to the People's Republic of China?

In comparison to the country that shoots you in the face for being the wrong skin color?

Those occur at about the statistics of airplane crashes. Huge disasters obviously, but it’s a function of our policy of everyone having a gun.

You can't really compare the two countries. The US has 4x (531/100k) the number of prisoners per capita that China (119/100k) has.

And crime in almost every category is 3-18x higher (+ 83x more assaults than China)

The only category china ranks higher in is corruption and bribery and oddly the number of judges and prosecutors employed.

The definition of assault and the reporting rate are completely different. You can’t compare those numbers just looking them up on the Internet.

Atleast they don’t let corrupt prison officers harvest their prisoners organs

There's literally a prison organ theft scandal ongoing in Alabama at the moment.

Is this even a standard worth comparing ourselves to? That’s a bar so low that “at least we don’t …” doesn’t even make sense
