Record rate of suicides in China

Another shameful record: half of all suicides in the world take place in China, which also has the world’s highest rate of female suicides. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), rural China is the only country in the world in which female suicide surpasses male suicide.

In the hospital of Quinglong, in the Habei region, 16 admissions for attempted suicide were registered in a single month. 11 of them were women.

The statistics released by the WHO report that approximately 1,500,000 Chinese women attempt suicide every year, of which 156,000 die. The head of research at Beijing’s Hui Long Guan hospital states that this figure is “improbably low” because deaths are not regularly registered. It is curious that the data referring to different years are strangely similar, but always strategically rounded off to the lowest number: 287,000 deaths in 2003 (156.000 women) 280,000 deaths in 2007.

The very existence of the government of Beijing is based on these customary lies. They hide any data that may reveal the pained nation in which, in the rural areas, 30 women out of every 100,000 inhabitants take their own life, double the rate of the world average. An incredible statistic.

The Communist regime needs to put forth an “air-brushed” picture of the Chinese people’s conditions, and that propaganda is still a good method.

But reality speaks for itself. In the rural areas of China, the poverty line abundantly surpasses even that established by Beijing which, due to its inhuman policies, provides no form of assistance to farm workers.

Life in these places is unbearable. Overwhelmed by the excessive work both in the fields and in the family, oppressed by anguish as they try to survive, victims of abuse and a complete lack of any form of respect, many women suffer from a depression so deep that it pushes them to commit suicide. A common saying among Chinese men is “Getting married is like buying a horse: I can ride it and beat it whenever I wish.”

It is comprehensible that these living conditions cause many women to prefer death.

Most of them use pesticides to poison themselves, which are easy to acquire, even in large quantities. According to data released by the WHO related to the last 10 years, 60-90% of suicides occurred through ingestion of pesticides. The number of deaths are greatly increased by the impossibility of finding immediate medical care (transportation from isolated rural villages to hospitals is difficult) as well as its unsustainable costs.

How can we even speak of human rights in a country where the Nazi-Communist dictatorship propagates such horror?
