Is it because they don’t have the same problem as Japan or India where there’s sexual harassment in crowded trains?

    Most likely yes. I don’t have specific numbers, but as far as i can tell the incidence of sexual assault/harassment in China isn’t high, and it’s not an an outlier at all. Not zero obviously, but pretty low and in line with Western developed countries like the US or EU, which also do not have woman only carriages.

    Despite them being right next to each other, you can’t really compare China to Japan which is frequently considered one of the most rapey countries in the world, due in part to the nearly nonexistent enforcement of sexual assault laws. Meanwhile China takes sexual crimes extremely seriously and has zero tolerance for it.

    Actually, women’s rights and protection in China is some of the best in Asia.
