Not justifying violence against women anywhere, but come to think of it, I want to know how the statistics from China on violence against women stack up to the US. I doubt we could get any data from such a sensitive/loss-of-face topic, but wife-beating husbands aren't exactly unknown in China either:

But anyway, none of this excuse what's happening in the US, the land of violence and brutality.
