If not for capitalism we'd all be queueing up for hours in the public hospitals. Now we have choices. Capitalism says if you want a different service you have to pay for it. That it brings society into lust for money is the unsurprising consequence however.

I wasn't suggesting that any listener would be persuaded to change their views, i just meant it to get them off your back, showing it's a cultural difference. "You guys are afraid of getting cold, us guys are not."

The fact that many Chinese people 'fear getting cold' presumably remains from a time when there was less medicine available, and getting sick was potentially more serious. Perhaps a method could be to reassure a concerned local that you do not fear the cold, and on such a warm day there is no need to fear the cold!

I have been one of those annoyed parents, i can sympathise. But what do you think is the motivation of those locals who comment about lack of sufficient clothes? Medically accurate or not, they sincerely believe the child could get sick, so what do they do? Maybe a Westerner would ignore the situation ("if they don't know how to care for their child, serves them right when the baby gets sick"). But the Chinese person speaks up with concern. Perhaps annoying, but quite sweet when you reflect about it.

So that is the poster that says in English: "Wickedness, Clean Environment, Stability, Safety". Surely they could afford to give somebody here a bit of pocket money to check their wording? Unless they really want to disclose their motivation as Wickedness?

The article from the UK Telegraph that refers to the perpetrators "attempting to leave China to join jihad" states that the Chinese website that quoted these comments from Qin later deleted them. What would that mean, that the authorities are backpedalling from that theory? Or want to suppress it? Or that it was too unsubstantiated?

No-one said that faith excludes intellect or logical analysis. Creationists also use logical analysis. But since evolutionism has not been "proved" with "finality", the question is still open. And creationists use intellect, but not as the only string to their bow.
