8.2 > 6.7
The image says 16.7 for Taipei, not 6.7. neither my comment nor the image contains a 6.7.
Now you can argue all western and Eastern sources are undercounting nk and China, that's why I didn't even include nk given the natural mistrust of information from a country with less than 10k tourists a year; but any search of this info online shows the same trend: Chinese nationals dont commit suicide as often as their oppressed neighbors.
