I absolutely do not deny that but just look at the circumstances that they have to operate in.
Again, I stand by my word by saying that if similar circumstances would excist in our world, incident/accident figures would drastically change.
Its a matter of comparing apples and apples.
I think that we are too full of ourselves in the developed world and too quick in judging.We regard ourselves as supperiour. We have seen very silly accidents under far less constraint circumstances but still claim that we are the best.
Have to admit that a DC10 crashed in Chittagong in 2005. A place very well known to me. Weather was a main contributer there and it requires to see what kind of weather it is to form a opinion.

Flying skills in the far east, in general, are better than the always guided, flights in our region.
Just to mention the poor flying conditions in In donesia with its 1000 islands and unpredictable weather. Similar circumstances prevail in parts of India and Bangladesh.
