Stomach Cancer : Highest in China

I've obtained another statistic which shows that Eastern Asia has the highest rates for stomach cancer globally. China has the highest rate of stomach cancer, followed by Korea and Japan, both these nations also one of the highest, while countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Africa and North America are the lowest. 

Stomach cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide till the year of 2008's data. The highest mortality rates are in Eastern Asia and the lowest in Northern America. Anyone can guess why China has the highest rates of stomach cancer?
