"The Global Peace Index (GPI) released by the UK Economist Intelligence Unit ranked China at 80th, higher than the US (85), India (128) and Russia (143). New Zealand, Iceland and Japan were listed as the top 3, while Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan ranked least. The world has become less peaceful over the last year as homicide rates and violent crime had increased around the world, according to the GPI. "

So these are annually calculated scores that ignore well documented history and events of the past?
