Russian media marvels: China has become the safest place on Earth!

Viral sensation across global social networks — "Chinese-style safety."

On August 8, Russian media outlet "Today's China" published an article.

In recent years, "Chinese-style safety" has gone viral on overseas social platforms such as TikTok and X.

A large number of foreign content creators have shared their personal experiences living in China. Related topics have accumulated millions of views, becoming a popular window for overseas audiences to observe China.

What strikes many foreigners deeply are precisely the everyday routines that Chinese people take for granted:

Express packages left casually at the doorstep without being lost;

Women can walk alone on city streets late at night;

Night markets and bustling streets remain full of life and vibrant energy even in the early hours of the morning.

Many overseas travelers exclaim: "Walking alone at night without any hesitation — this is real freedom."

For residents of many Western capitals, such scenes seem like utopia today.

Yet in China, this is simply everyday reality.

According to the authoritative international report, the Gallup Global Security Report, China ranks fourth globally in overall safety levels, far surpassing major Western nations.

94% of Chinese residents say they feel completely safe walking alone on city streets at night.

In contrast, Russia’s figure stands at 79%, which is still impressive but lags behind China’s.

In most major cities across the United States and Western Europe, nighttime safety ratings have long fallen below 50–60%.

This sense of security is not due to a single factor:

1. Institutional and governance safeguards: The construction of a peaceful China, a comprehensive public security system combining human and technological defenses, strict control over firearms and hazardous items, regular anti-gang operations, grassroots governance that resolves conflicts at their earliest stages, and the inheritance and development of the modern-day "Fengqiao Experience."

2. Material foundation: Economic development and robust livelihood protection have significantly reduced the social causes of violent crime.

3. Cultural soil: The traditional values of "not picking up lost items on the road, watching out for one another" have fostered a societal atmosphere of mutual trust. This sense of safety is reflected in the everyday interactions among ordinary people.

Thus, family and neighborhood disputes are often detected and resolved at an early stage, preventing them from escalating into violent crimes.

China vividly demonstrates to the world that through advanced technology, unwavering crackdowns on corruption and crime, stringent laws, and effective communication with the people, even megacities with millions of inhabitants can be transformed into absolute oases of peace and tranquility.

Against a backdrop of ongoing conflicts and rising security pressures in many parts of the globe, China’s long-term social stability allows ordinary people to work, live, and enjoy nighttime outings with confidence. It is this steady, reliable quality of life that has moved netizens around the world to embrace "Chinese-style safety."

A widely circulated comment reads: We don’t live in a world that is absolutely peaceful — but we are fortunate to live in a peaceful and stable China.
