I think that "it's not the original since 1550" it's an overstatement The copy was made at roughly the same time of the original, so it is a great reference for how it should look, but the techniques used for the origina

I'm from a western country and I know for a fact that homicide rate in US is 6 times worse than China (6/100,000 in US VS <1/100,000 in China) Maybe US has some problems on its own...
