Its the safest city we ever been, and we have travelled the world.
I don't know how did they collecting the data, but I know there must be something wrong with the worries index.
I was born and raised in Shenzhen, and I've never heard anyone I know who's car got stolen or been attacked with no reasons. It was right after I came to Singapore, where I was insulted for the first time by someone. For that drugs dealing problem, you probably don't know how many efforts does the Chinese government puts on solving this issue.
Based on m personal experience, Shenzhen(population: 12 million) is doing better than Singapore(population: 5.6 million) on safety.
I'm curious about that corruption and bribery index, could you provide any reference?
IT IS NOT TRUE. JUST DON'T LET IT FOOL YOU.
I grew up and spent 19 years of my life in Shenzhen Futian. As long as you're in a place within 20 minutes of walk to a metro station or a public institute, I wouldn't even worry about being outside during 2 pm at night ever since I'm 16.
Shenzhen City Government is a more commercial-focused local government, therefore preserving a good crime rate is the main purpose.
The crime rate has been stable at a very low level since 2008s (Beijing Olympics, I guess).
Especially the low unemployment rate (is it 0..5% in 2015?) in the city area played an important part.
The CBD, bar streets and malls like Huaqiangbei, Coco park in Futian Dist and Matrix in Luohu Dist, Coastal park in Nanshan Dist... All of these have local community police and security just patrolling and friendly enough to offer help. (But BBC said that was 'police state', ehh, disgusting double standard.)
The only problem I can think of could be bureaucracy in the public office (like customs, hospital)- but tbh, it's everywhere in this world! That's why Shenzhen is pushing digital public services to get rid of those bureaucrats.
Shenzhen is a warm, vibrant and safe city. It's MUCH MORE SAFER THAN ANY OTHER WESTERN CITIES
#Proud to be a Shenzhener, and I warmly welcome the world to see for their own eyes.
#That's the power of police-city. lol JK
