You know, the US may have different laws for different states. But when I think about it, the US is one nation that has this same problem I worried China has. So between China and the US having this similar legal issue, it really is global progress that China is making the depicted law a legal possibility.

Emphasis on the word "possibility" because its important that it's not an automatic guarantee. As others mentioned, guaranteed death comes with it's own problem of a possible permanent mistake, or further traumatized victim(like Maya Angelou) who wanted to report but didn't want their attacker dead.
