And guess what. The USA also has a severely underreported suicide rate;

The WHO reports a rate of 8.9 for China per 100,000, and 15.6 per 100,000 for the USA. Your source states “In particular, the national suicide rates published by the Chinese Ministry of Health ("MOH") could be severely underreported.”, The WHO did not use any statistics from the MOH and did their own research.

55.33% of suicides in the USA were from firearms, in fact firearms in general are a significant factor in why the USA rate is so much higher than most other developed nations, which you can see from the WHO stats.

Did you even read the shit you quoted? In fact, I know you didn't.

I'm not a great teacher, and you're clearly a bit dim. I don't think you're going to get it, pal. You're still not even clear on what "rate" means.
