An interesting comment:
I think the Chinese probably can honestly claim their cops don’t kill nearly so many people as we do, at least not until recently. The chief reason for this is that China was so totally wrecked by the Cultural Revolution that there is a strong general societal consensus that the police should be obeyed in all things. If we had something like the purge, but for years instead of a night, we too would develop unhealthily pro-oppression social norms.
It's about this movie The Purge and it's really what happened in China back then (until Mao called the PLA to end it eventually):
While that level of violence might seem unimaginable today, at the time it looked like a perfectly reasonable choice to many restless youths involved in the Cultural Revolution. In a document issued in August of that year denouncing traditional top-down purges, Beijing said “[We] must trust and rely on the people ... don’t be scared of chaos.”
