You'd think Beijing or Bangladesh would be up to their ears in murders.

No you wouldn’t, because their society and culture is different then here.

They don't have a gun culture over there I think but I am sure there are other violent crimes. Like China with their reeducation camps and I believe Bangladesh has a big rape problem from articles I read diring the pandemic because of poverty and lack of funds to get married/start a relationship.

That's a good point. The scots-irish honor culture which heavily influenced black culture is a big part of it too.

Police in Asian countries are also openly allowed to do things that would be considered brutality over here.

I read that in Singapore, police can beat you for littering.
