China

China’s profile contains a low reported homicide rate, a very high expression-pressure signal and no recent comparable child-labour value in the connected series.

What the available evidence suggests

The homicide observation is older than the other available values and should not be treated as a 2025 measure. The expression figure is a transformation of V-Dem’s expert-coded index, not an administrative count. Carbon exceeds the latest global per-person footprint.

The most important limitation

Differences in reporting systems, index uncertainty and the absence of a child-labour observation rule out a complete country verdict.

Do not turn different years into one ranking

The China profile places a 2020 homicide observation beside an expression-pressure value for 2025. The five-year gap means that these values are not a single-year picture of conditions. Comparing the 0.50 homicide rate with a country’s 2023 rate without retaining both years would hide this limitation.

The expression-pressure value of 95.5 is the result of reversing an index: an underlying value of 0.045 becomes (1 − 0.045) × 100. It does not mean that 95.5% of people lack a right. A useful follow-up is the original V-Dem series and its definition, followed by the country’s time series rather than an assumed cause based on one observation.

Interpretation added 13 September 2026 using the dated snapshot above and, where named, the linked country profiles. Calculations are illustrative comparisons of those published values; underlying observations have not been refreshed in this edit.

How to read this profile

  • Compare values only when units and definitions match.
  • Keep the observation year beside every claim.
  • Treat expert-coded expression data differently from administrative death statistics.
  • Read consumption-based carbon in its original physical unit, independently of the other indicators.
  • Never convert missing data into zero.
