      All countries have a political interest in showing themselves as better, though. I’m aware enough of China’s history to know that your allegations are just that, allegations.

        They do but most countries have a means of tracking national suicide rates. China intentionally doesn’t and this is a repeated pattern with the country’s healthcare reporting.

        We simply can’t even argue about it because the data is unavailable. So this claim is also unverifiable.

          So in other words, you don’t have any proof, and are using the lack of proof as evidence. That’s not how proof works.

            That’s silly.

            In other words the data is incomplete from the top so any further discussion is speculation at best.

                Nope I’m noticing a discrepancy in data and pointing it out. What China does is hide information and the rest of you are embracing a speculation because again, the data isn’t available.
