These numbers are manipulated! The main aim of the communist party is to maintain a great image of China infront of the world. But the reality is very different that what you are seeing here.

A good read: https://www.cfr.org/article/chinas-homegrown-crisis

I personally work with 17 Chinese colleagues who are doing the same job since last 18 years without changing the company and with only one promotion. They are afraid of changing jobs as there's not much opportunities available outside the metro cities and it's extremely costly to live in metro cities. Do not believe things coming out of China glorifying themselves.

Well in a country with 1,400,000,000 people all under very strict rules of behavior a successful worker always knows he is easy to replace.

So workers are underpaid in general and abused by the upper class via low wages hard long hours etc.

Foxconn had suicide nets in place due to excessive worker suicide attempts.

Here in the Wonderfull USA we get great freedoms anther are actually about 750,000,000 guns available to  about 330,000,000 million people includes little kid as they watch where Daddy puts the gun.

be shot to death is the most common way for a kid to die in the USA.

So the gun freedom slows crazy nut job government rules to turn the workers in to semi slaves. But the workers shoot way too many people.  You would think there was a happy in-between .  But I do not think so.
