Incarceration of women
Within the last decade, the rate of incarceration for women in China has increased by 46%. Women make up only 6% of the total population of individuals in prison within the country. While it is difficult to correctly evaluate the statistic regarding the total number of women incarcerated due to the underreporting of these cases, China is on track to imprison more women than the United States.
High-speed rail in China
On one hand, the demand of high-speed rail in China steadily increases over time. In 2012, the average occupancy rate of high-speed rails in China is 57%. This percentage increases to 65%, 69.4% and 72.1% in the year of 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Up to February 2016, high-speed rails covers nearly 200 thousand kilometers. On the other hand, however, public concerns and questions about the high-speed rail development from various perspectives have been raised as well.
