lol, another Indian using China "hide" rape problem excuse. When I was growing up in china and to this very day, rape and other types of violent crime are never big problems in China. Many girls as young as 10, go walk to schools or take buses by themselves. You would think if rape is such...

china was also utterly devastated and the entire country was in ruins after WWII, where India at the time had the best railway system in Asia and suffered practically no damage from WWII.
