The issue of safety is a long way down the list of priorities for Chinese parents trying to get their children into the USA.

I have walked in the streets of cities, such as Beijing, at all hours of the day and night and never had any problems, something that expats in China comment on frequently when in China.

Yes, some (not all or even a majority) US universities are arguably academically superior to the rest of the world including China but that doesn't make US campuses as safe as or safer than Chinese ones where there are no guns available to the general public.
