Under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), everyone lives in fear as indiscriminate attacks have been on the rise in recent years. Despite this, the CCP’s Ministry of Public Security claims that China is “one of the world’s most recognized safe countries.” However, this statement has been ridiculed as “the most shameless” by overseas netizens.
On July 23, Qi Yanjun, the Deputy Minister in charge of daily work at the CCP’s Ministry of Public Security, declared at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office regarding the so-called “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan” that China is “one of the countries with the lowest rates of homicide, lowest rates of criminal offenses, and fewest gun-related incidents in the world,” and that it is “universally recognized as one of the safest countries in the world.”
On a platform abroad, the CCP’s Ministry of Public Security’s statement sparked mockery among netizens:
“The heart-wrenching question is, do any parents of schoolchildren in mainland China dare not to pick up or drop off their children to school? If no parent dares to do so, how can they talk about being the world’s most recognized safe country?”
“Because cases that cannot be solved are not counted.”
“All news is true except this one because they can force people to eat crap without worrying about resistance.”
“They have solved those who ask questions and silenced the victims.”
“If the rooster stops crowing, the day won’t break.”
“The low crime rate is because they don’t include crimes committed by public officials.”
“It’s also the country with the highest crime rate within government departments.”
Independent commentator Xiang pointed out that a country wanting to reduce the percentage of obese people can easily achieve it by raising the obesity criteria. For example, changing the obesity standard from over 180 pounds to over 880 pounds would eliminate obese individuals. The same principle applies to cases in China – what may be considered criminal or public safety cases abroad might not be acknowledged as such in China. Many cases, such as speeding, pet abuse, school bullying, teacher-student abuse, domestic violence, etc., are not even legislated for in China.
Xiang highlighted that in addition to lacking legislation, even when there are laws, the CCP may choose not to enforce them. Moreover, a large number of cases in China remain at the “accepted” stage, lingering indefinitely in case registration books. The law enforcement resources in China are disproportionately focused on preventing political dissent, group incidents, and high-profile cases that must be solved. This means incidents like street fights (Tangshan underworld), human trafficking (Iron Chain Lady), domestic violence, robbery, burglary, rape, and other public safety incidents are often neglected by local law enforcement agencies.
The CCP’s Ministry of Public Security claiming that China is “universally recognized as one of the safest countries in the world” has also been heavily ridiculed on Facebook:
“Self-praise indeed comes first.”
“That’s true, but it’s also the only country in the world where people ‘disappear’ or ‘die by suicide’!”
“If it’s such a fantastic country, why isn’t everyone clamoring to immigrate there?”
“The most shameless.”
Many Taiwanese netizens drew parallels to China’s forced organ harvesting and missing persons cases:
“The country with the highest organ theft rate, so they should focus on theft?”
“China is indeed the safest country. As long as your body is healthy, the CCP will place your organs in the bodies of powerful individuals to protect them and ensure life continues.”
Officially, the CCP has repeatedly claimed in recent years that China under its rule is one of the safest countries. On November 13 last year, the CCP’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the “Zhu…
