Also, I think it is an attempt to become one step closer to a more perfect society where wrong-doers don't exist. When my brother worked at the local Shop Rite, one of his black friends we knew from a long time ago who also worked at Shop Rite had moved to Virginia or Georgia (can't remember which). There one of his white friends murdered a black persion, and nothing happened to him. In fear he moved back up north. Maybe China's policy is to prevent this?
