That makes you look like a hypocrite, you trust a source that adds two countries overshoots together to make a point. Just saying. No offense intended.
Yes, of course wikipedia is not the best source but it is a start. Completely ignoring wikipedia because of the general opinion it must be wrong all the time is ignorant.
It is a way to get a oversight of a topic and then dive deeper.

While the percentage of difference may not be large... All it takes is a handful of angry horny men to cause a ruckus.
70 million could produce... Like, five handfuls of angry horny men
On March 23, 2010, Zheng Minsheng (郑民生)[7] 41, murdered eight children with a knife in an elementary school in Nanping,[8] Fujian province;[9] The attack was widely reported in Chinese media (called 南平实验小学重大凶杀案),[7] sparking fears of copycat crimes.[9] Following a quick trial, Zheng Minsheng was executed about one month later on April 28.[8] Media reported a history of mental health issues, but police stated that Zheng had no history of mental illness, contradicting earlier reports. Zheng said that he performed the attack after being turned down by a girl and suffering "unfair treatment" from the girl's wealthy family.
this isnt the only reason as other motives often match those that happen pretty much everywhere else (lack of insurnace/jobs/domestic issues and doomsday cults) the one thing ill credit china with is unlike western media they do not constantly cover every aspect of the killers life and limit media attention to prevent copy cats which seemed to work for them (then again they have a much more limits on the press then most western nations) and they tend to publicly execute offenders that they catch alive (not saying we should do this) which works at least for Chinese society
Causes Prof. Joshua Miller, chair of Social Welfare Policy at Smith College, attributed the attacks to stress caused by "rapid social change, mass migrations, increasing disparities in wealth and weakening of traditions."[32] Some sociologists believe some of these attacks may be due to the PRC government's failure to diagnose and treat mental illness.[20] The perpetrators may feel victimized by stress due to the rapid social changes[20] in China during the last 10 years caused by the privatization and decreased social security of China's reform and opening period. During this time, more and more migrant workers from rural areas have moved to cities such as Shanghai to find jobs. However, because they do not have social security (because of the hukou system), many of them do not have health insurance. Because of the financial crisis of 2007–2010, some have lost their jobs, which is stigmatized in China, and have had to return to their native villages jobless and unemployed. The choice of schools for most of the attacks means they could be copycat crimes.[20][32] Another factor is China's male-based gender imbalance cause by the one child policy, in which there are a lot of single men frustrated at the dating market in China and their low prospects. They are then more likely to resort to violence.[33]

Since there's a shortage of women, India and China should stop castrating men when it's learned that they're GAY. They have no other HUMAN choices!

Well, they could date a transexual...so I suppose they do have a choice beside "women". My bad.
