BEIJINGChina's legislature on Friday passed a long-awaited mental health law that intends to avoid individuals from being involuntarily held and needlessly treated in psychiatric centers - abuses that have actually been used against government critics and caused public outrage. The law standardizes mental health care services, requiring basic healthcare facilities to establish unique outpatient clinics or offer counseling, and calls for the training of more medical professionals.

- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
