Beijing was 14th Safest City in China, Lhasa was the 1st

A survey conducted by China Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) which is a government owned body, revealed that the capital of China, Beijing is less safer than other cities of the country. The safest place is the capital of Tibet, Lhasa, followed by Shanghai.

When analysed in terms of safety, the Chinese capital city was ranked 14th, inspite of huge network of the security cameras as well as constant police force on the lanes and roads. Other major cities of China were ranked much safer than Beijing and these safe cities included Xiamen, Ningbo, Changchun, Chongqing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Dalian, Hangzhou and Nanjing. CASS also revealed that around 40 percent of the 25000 respondents of survey from 38 cities of China felt unsafe to go out during nighttime. Residents of Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou province marked it lowest in terms of safety. It was also found out that people in the coastal cities of East China as well as municipalities were safer than other parts of country.
