One thing that differs between China and the US: a poor neighborhood in China doesn't feel less safe than a rich one.

Yeah. I get the same feeling. However, I do have relatives telling me to be extra cognizant of myself while out and about in China. There are a lot of petty theft in crowded places.

Sure, but I'll take a petty theft the barrel of a gun any day. :) A classmate in highschool was shot in his leg in Detroit becuase he only had $5. A couple of other friends I know have been robbed at gunpoint.
