Child abuse including physical and emotional are so common that it is an accepted part of chinese society. China has the world's highest rate of suicide for underage kids.

Any old china hands know about the obsession chinese men have with virgins. With this comes the problem of molestation and rape towards underage girls and boys.

If you want to see what a country is like on a scale of barbarism to civilization, look at 3 key indicators: 1. How the country treats its children. 2. How the country treats its poor and disabled. 3. How the country treats its women. These are not in any prioritized order, btw.
