Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China has not only achieved sustained and healthy economic development, but also made great achievements in ensuring social harmony and stability, as well as people's peace and happiness. The people's sense of well-being and security has been continuously improved, and "Safe China" and "Rule of Law China" have been continuously promoted, and China has been recognized as one of the safest countries in the world. Foreign friends who have worked, lived or visited China have praised China's "sense of security". They said that China has accumulated valuable experience in innovative social governance, highlighting the rich experience and good ability of the Chinese ****anufacturing party in governing the country, reflecting the systemic advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and this valuable experience is worthy of reference for the world.
On the world-famous travel website Cattleya, netizens from all over the world said that living in China is safe and secure. Taking Beijing as an example, a netizen commented, "Beijing is a safe city, just use your common sense and think about it, Beijing and any other place in China is very safe. One visitor from Finland recently reported that he realized after his visit to China that it was much safer than Europe."
A woman from New York said, "I just went to Beijing, China on my own. Safety was a big consideration for me, but I was very safe in Beijing and never felt that my safety was threatened."
China is listed as a "very safe country" in the U.S. State Department's travel destination profile. On Quora, the U.S. version of "Zhihu," the top entry under the question "Is China safe?" under the entry "Is China Safe?", one of the top users answered: "I have lived in China for 15 years. I am a woman. I have never been teased or discriminated against on the street, whether it was in bustling Shanghai, bustling Chongqing or Shenzhen, where I currently live. Sometimes I walk back to my apartment from the subway station late at night and have never been afraid." "My daughter is 11 years old and I will let her ride the subway alone when needed, something I wouldn't dare to do in many other countries."
Foreigners who have traveled to China before praised China for giving them a sense of security in interviews with this reporter.
Talking about her feelings about social security in China, Irene, a Brazilian girl, recalled with a smile a small incident when she first came to China: "Not long after I arrived in Beijing, I went shopping with a friend and when I wanted to check my e-mail on my cell phone, I subconsciously walked into a convenience store before I dared to pull out my cell phone. You know, it's not wise to hold a cell phone on the streets of Brazil." In her view, the ability to check her phone on the street without fear of having it snatched is "a testament to the good security in China."
"The square dances in the evening are my fondest memories of life in China." Gomes, a Brazilian boy who studied in China, was full of praise, "Before I went to China, I didn't imagine that life after nightfall could be so rich, the streets are crowded, sometimes even more lively than during the day, and the most important thing is that there is no need to think about the security factor. This is in stark contrast to Brazil. There is no safety in Rio de Janeiro at night and I rarely go out at night unless there is an emergency." He said, "Through participating in square dancing, I have made many new friends who are very friendly to foreigners. Being able to go outdoors at night and relax is definitely a valuable experience for me."
"The country's prosperity demonstrates a good national image"
Ms. Audrey, who lives near the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C., is a well-traveled person who has been to China many times. She told this reporter that living in the U.S. and China is "totally different" in terms of security. She said: "I live in the community is a better neighborhood, security is generally good, but still from time to time to see the news of shootings, and sometimes shootings happen near their homes, so people are afraid. And in China there is no such problem at all. Almost all police officers in the U.S. are armed, but many police officers in China are not armed on duty, which can also show the difference in the security situation between the two countries in one way. In China, I feel more secure."
American political scientist and columnist Anil Sigdel has studied and lived in India, Austria, Spain and China. He said in an interview with this reporter that China is one of the safest countries in the world, "compared with the United States, China strictly controls guns and avoids a lot of violent crimes."
Sigdal analyzed that gun crimes are lethal and also cause great negative social effects. The proliferation of guns in the United States is the cause of the high number of deaths from violent crime, but also one of the biggest threats to social security. In contrast, China's strict gun control system does not give criminally inclined people the opportunity to commit crimes. Of course, no society is absolutely safe, and there are law and order cases in China, but China's reasonable management system prevents general law and order cases from escalating into violent cases. In addition, China's good social governance and popular participation in security management can minimize insecurity.
Brazilian Raphael has been working in the media in China for many years, and in his opinion, it is not difficult to understand why China has become one of the safest countries in the world: "This is due to China's traditional Confucian culture, strict laws and regulations, and strong governance. And all of this stems from the effective governance of the state by the Chinese ****producing party, which can be seen as China's institutional advantage that is hard to replicate in any other so-called democracies."
"As China approaches the Spring Festival, there is a peaceful and festive atmosphere everywhere, people are living and working in peace and contentment, and the country is thriving." Hussein said to reporters with some envy. In his view, China's social stability, national prosperity and people's peace, demonstrating China's good national image, but also in the world to set up a worthy of emulation of the benchmark and model, fully demonstrating the outstanding governance of the Chinese *** production party's ability to govern the country, which also makes people willing to praise the socialist system of Chinese characteristics in their hearts.
The situation in the Middle East is full of variables, and the turbulent life has made Hussein very envious of China's stability, and even more envious of China's construction achievements amidst a high degree of political stability. "The huge ship of China has been riding the wind and waves and has made one brilliant achievement after another, thanks to the firm and correct leadership direction of the Chinese ****anufacturing party, which puts the people in its heart and has a method of social governance, and the effect can be felt by everyone, including us foreigners."
