The homicide rate in the US is higher than Somalia, a country known for being basically the world's best example of a failed state wracked by al-Shabab militants, poverty, hunger and crime:

And before you say it, that's according to official WHO estimates of homicides in Somalia not local official data.

So you are saying WHO doctored Somali crime figures because they knew that one day someone would use them to unfavourably compare Somalia to the US on the internet and by extension make China look relatively good?

WHO playing 7D chess over here!!

Not really.

... but I don’t trust WHO figures, because they aren’t actually gathering the data. They just aggregate the data that’s provided to them by local officials or other local sources.

I will also say that taking that one line from his post and boiling away the rest is disingenuous.
I’s typical mrswdk playbook... truly manipulative and mean-spirited and outright false to suggest that was THE POINT of his post.
