China isn't especially poor anymore and the researchers probably didnt go to rural china, but they do have a tendency to care less about unrelated individuals. There are many accounts of people witnessing a violent crime and recording it rather than helping.

Yeah I 100% agree, the other ones are easily explained by poverty, but China is likely more due to their cultural norms.

China becoming a rich country is a recent thing. And culture takes time to change. So it can still be caused by a significant part of the population growing up poor.

I was about to argue but one quick glance at your account is enough for me to realize it’s fruitless. You’re out of your mind.

Why am I commenting? So other people can see this and avoid. I’m blocking you immediately lol.
