People's trust in a safe pair of hands

"How safe is it in China?" This question provoked heated discussion on a world famous website's question and answer section not so long ago. But the answer winning the most thumb-ups was "Very, very safe". Many foreigners who had lived in China shared their personal experiences and said that they felt safe in China.

In contrast, the frequent gun violence in the United States and terrorist attacks in various Western countries have made people in those countries feel increasingly unsafe.

Last year, China was among the countries with the lowest rates of homicide, and the number of violent crimes in the country was 52 percent less than the number in 2012. While a survey shows 95.55 percent of Chinese nationals are satisfied with the country's public security situation.
