Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation
squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoCongratulations, you figured out that China is a large country! It would be ridiculous to think that a country with 1.4 billion people would have less people dieing in traffic than a country with a smaller population.
If you just go by absolute numbers, a large country will have more of absolutely everything than a small country.
Now go back to your link and sort by “Je 100.000 Einwohner” and see how that changes the list.

But you understand that “je Einwohner” means shit with that density of cars? cant have a car crash when you ride a donkey. per car would make much more sense but that’s the least the regime would care about.

If only that metric was included in the link above. Well, luckily it is. And guess what: When sorting by “je 100 000 motorisierte Fahrzeuge” (“per 100 000 motorized vehicles”), China ranks even much better.
Sorting by per inhabitants puts China as the 68th worst country, so 67 countries are worse. Sorting by per motorized vehicels puts China as 115th worst, so 114 countries are worse.
When looking at “per motorized vehicles” China is on par with Lettland.
If only there was a way to follow the link and look at actual numbers before spouting made-up misinformation.

this misinformation you are talking about it what i am talking about! yeah. finally. ofcourse the numbers are MUCH higher. coercion or killing of others is legit for motorists and the governments that need the industry.
i am sure china is always and will always be among the worst of the worst. one of the oldest countries and still tourture,regime government and imbecile citizens.

You really have trouble understanding numbers, right?
