and before you “b-but that’s whataboutism” me, is it not the real whataboutism to be worrying about the “disturbing” jump in youth suicide in China when America’s jump over a similar timespan is just past five times larger?
It’s 10% per year since 2010, meaning over a 100% increase at a flat rate, and over a 240% increase if compounding the rate each year. Both far more concerning than 56%, especially given the younger age range.
Suicide rates increasing anywhere is really bad news. I don’t think people’s assessment of why it’s increasing (academic pressure) is accurate, but the fact that it is increasing is extremely concerning everywhere.
Just because the USA sucks majorly ass doesnt mean other places doesnt suck too… but it might be a waste of time arguing with you since youre from lemmygrad.

Significant suicide rates can be worrying in multiple places. I don’t see where anyone is making this a US vs China thing
Okay but chill out a bit, dude.
It’s just a news article and it is worrying, even if the US is worse.

I’m not sure whether people like him genuinely can’t read, or whether they deliberately spread fake news.
Eh it’s still a problem for China though

You are correct, and the post article doesn’t even include real numbers just percentages with no data backing it up.
