Did they control for being Asian?
Good point. Loads of people die early over here in Bangladesh, and we eat some of the spiciest foods in the world.
The spicier the food, the slower/less you eat?
There's also the link to certain spices (like chili peppers) that are highly anti-inflammatory.
Personally, the more spicy food I eat, the more I have dessert.
As much I read about this particular study, in the group of the more spicy eaters, there where plenty of rural people and in the other group more urban people. So, this sounds to me, that there are different factors inside the study which are interconnected and the "evidence" could also be linked to some different factors, for example more healthy lifestyle of rural people (particular in China: I assume healthier air…
For once this article makes it very clear there is no clear rationale for correlation at this point. It's certainly not your usual clickbait article.

Did not convince me.
And as I stated, I read a different (German) source, where definitively other possible correlations where named -- when one group contains clearly more rural people as the other, the whole statement that "no clear rationale" can be found, is questionable in my opinion, even when it is not political correct in some countries, that urban people are living less healthy lives.
This has nothing to do with click-bait or not. It is just very questionable to me, that the study is methodical clean.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Actually people in urban centers live clearly longer than in the country side. So I'm not sure what you are talking about.
I think it's pretty common to eat milder foods when you are ill. I know I do. If that is universally true, and all else being equal, you could probably simplify this headline down to "getting sick less linked to a longer life."

This could be related to the more exercise they get...
