Analysis: China and the US are polar opposites on gun control

A version of this story appeared in CNN's Meanwhile in China newsletter, a three-times-a-week update exploring what you need to know about the country's rise and how it impacts the world. Sign up here.

Last week, a 47-year-old man stormed into a law firm in China's Wuhan city and shot dead a lawyer who he had"some disputes with," according to Chinese state media. He then stuffed his gun, just under 20 inches long, into a tennis racket bag and left. The fatal shooting shocked many in China, which has some of the world's strictest gun control laws -- so much so, that some people thought initial reports were about yet another American shooting."When my friend told me about the shooting, I thought it was the United States," one person wrote on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

TikTok Maker Caps Screen Time for Youths in ChinaThe maker of TikTok said it would restrict access to Douyin, the Chinese version of the app, to 40 minutes a day for users under 14 years old, in the latest move to curb screen time for younger Chinese users Jokes and autocratic societies notwithstanding, this is actually not a terrible move. I dont know about 40 minutes, but in the context of proliferating mental health disorders that we know this and similar applications are promoting, significant restriction isn't a bad thing. Your bets. Will totalitarianism be able to cover Europe and the United States in the next 20-40 years?
