Whoa. You think that native speakers rape women in Beijing because they have an over-inflated sense of entitlement? That's a hell of a chip you've got on your shoulder there buddy. I'm not sure what country you come from but calling a whole group of countries rapists isn't good manners. I can't imagine that there ... Full Comment>>

You don't need a study to find out the causes. Extreme pressure to succeed educationally being exerted on children by parents. Long work hours with few holidays coupled with low pay for workers.
