We have been in China for a while now, but how safe have we felt? China is often demonised by the West as being very unsafe for foreigners.

I've been in every corner of China and my family is German/Chinese mixed. When I say anything positive about China in my German home country, people always telling me that I live "too long" in Asia 🌏.

We felt completely save there, even to the point of my wife walking alone back from the subway to our apartment at 11pm. We were respected and even honored (gray hair and a cane helped). When we had to move back to the USA, we were frightened and appalled at the violence here.

Thank you for your brave and honest spirit!!! We Chinese live through very dark ages starting from the opium war. For centuries, we are bullied and ripped off by the collective western countries, just because they are technologically advanced than us. After the reborn of China in 1949, we Chinese tried our best to rebuild our broken country. The first generation devoted themselves to the country, making it sovereign. The second generation devoted themselves to make the country prosperous, and the third generation try their best to make it stronger, both economically and militarily. We invade no one during these generations, and we shared our progress with the world. What we want is just a stable and fair international environment, so people all over the world could live better and better, not just the 'developed' countries. Everyone should have the right to develop, live better, healthier and happier. Best regards from a Beijinger~~~

All they remember all crimes is ok, as long as you add "freedom and democracy" to all govt policies.

I first visited China in 2016 as a solo older female traveler. I arrived with exactly the same misconceptions that you had but this changed very quickly! I’ve never felt as safe traveling solo anywhere as I do in China. I had a similar experience with my phone in Shanghai. Went back after an hour and found it exactly where I had been sitting. I’ve now been back to China six times, traveling all over and made it my business to learn everything I can about China. Learning basic mandarin was a game changer especially traveling in more remote areas. I’ve made so many friends who I keep in touch with and visit when I can. Wonderful country and people ❤ visiting China is a must do!!

lol because you are not chinese citizen. Yes they do have social credit as the west do. Here in Australia, the bank need to check criminal history, loan history, rental history, etc, then manually work out the social credit, but in China, they made it simpler to apply job, get loan, etc. I was in Shenzhen for 2 years. Once I crossed when light was red with my electric bike. The police stopped me and 4 other guys. One by one, they got fined by scanning their Citizenship card, then the police explained it's 12rmb and 2 credit deduction. When it was my turned, I showed the photo of my passport from phone and he scratched his head few times, then tell me to go on. LOL, the other 4 guys complained. Another time I went to see some new apartments with my friends. Once the agent knew I'm foreigner, they went back to manager to check the procedure as foreigner doesn't have credit social point etc. Also another experience, I made video for my son's homework where he need to explain awareness of taking care our eyes. I edited it a lot and make it extremely funny and educational. The teacher called me next day to get my permission to send that video to national level competition as it's really interactive. I sent updated video with school logo and won that competition. The price was drone toy, a certificate of excellent, and they asked my ID so they can give me the social point award. I don't have Chinese ID, so they exchange that with voucher to supermarket via Wechat scan. So yes, social credit exist in China and all around the world. China made the system simple and encouraging their people to contribute to society. In Australia, I tried to apply for funding for my son to get in Private school, on their form, they asked us to provide evidence if my family did volunteer jobs to increase our point to register . That's social credit point too, but media will never demonized it.

As a Brit who has lived in china for 17 going on 18 years, I hope more folks like yourselves promote the truth about China. I grew up in the UK during the cold war and of course any mention of communism instilled a kind of fear in the population due to the threat of missile attacks. The communist government of China is not the same, so much good is accomplished for the people under the government here. In the 90's I moved to work in Silicon Valley and spent the bext 16 years there before moving to China. While America has a lot to offer as a country, I lived under the potential threat of gun violence, drug gang violence and large numbers of homeless in one of the richest countries in the world. Since moving to China I have never felt in anyway threatened, it''s safe to walk the streets in the early hours without any worries about muggings or safety for my wife. Hope you'll ba back soon.

There is something very simple, but people who come to China often fail to understand it. It’s not that China banned Google and Facebook, but because they initially expressed their unwillingness to abide by Chinese laws, the Chinese government had no choice but to ban them. Apple and Microsoft have shown their willingness to abide by Chinese laws and can operate unimpeded in China.

True in a sense but Google actually made the first move. I was working in China and the company was using Google when Google pulled out of China. They were 70% of the Chinese search engine then and basically, the Google CEO said there should not be any government interference in internet and no government can ever access their data. He went ballistic with the Chinese authorities. They moved to HK and expect the China internet and e-commerce to collapse. Since I was working in a US company, it did created a lot of issues as we don't have choices and need to gain access to Google mails and have to use VPN or dial direct via Hong Kong. The next major search engine then was Yahoo ( almost 20% plus ). Ultimately, we have to use local search engines who were starting out as well as Google via VPN in our daily work. So we did contribute to Chinese internet development .... LOL after all and we want them to be able to bring their standard up to Google and the world standards. It went faster and better then we ever thought it would. When Google withdrew, the people then were quite upset with the Chinese government as they really like Google. The die hard even have a meme of GOOJIE ( brother Goo can't be used so Sister Goo will fight ) but Google sue those who use the GOOJIE word as it was too close to GOOGLE. These are actually die hard Google supporters. They then switch to local search engine and Google have no way to gain back market shares or trust even if they wanted to as it is too costly for them now.

Also no Russian police has ever bother me because I am an American like the US media said they would. I 100% agree with you that being in another country like you being in China and I am in Russia is so much safer than America! It was like when I was a child in America and was a lot safer back then. Russian kids are hanging out with friends freely bike riding and walking around on there own and taking public transportation safely. Women in Russia dressing nicely can walk around without harassment from men unlike America.

I actually prefer the smaller cities like the ones you are in. I too, had a fear initially of coming to China based on the media perceptions that I received while living in America, but I quickly learned that it was all a lie.🤦🏾‍♀️ China is one of the safest countries in the world and that is important to me and that is why I stay here as long as I have.

Since many viewers here are telling their stories in China, I think I may tell mine. I went to China the past February [2024]. and visited a small town about 30 minutes away by driving from the city of HangZhou. In a mall, we went into a shop, which I believe it is an artist studio, where many art products were displayed on shelves and a large Apple laptop stood on a desk, which I believe is the shop-owner/artist's working desk. Surprisingly, there was no one else in the shop, not the owner or the shop-assistant. My friends took some of the products from the shelves in their hands to discuss the products' aesthetic merits. We stayed there for at least 10 to 15 minutes, during which nobody else walked in. I asked my friends whether the shop-owners would worry about the products and the laptop being stolen. They stared at me (as if I were from another planet). They told me nobody would steal. Yes. When we left the shop and walked in the mall, I saw a bag and a jacket on a bench unattended. The two incidents on one day impressed me very much and that is why even now [June 2024] I still remember them well.

More surprisingly, you chose Chengdu and Chongqing as your first destination. Indeed, there are not many foreigners, and people are curious about you just like you're curious about China. Nevertheless, they're very cool and culturally rich cities🤩, and local people are really friendly, hospitable and chill there🥰. I hope you enjoy your stay there and wish you a happy travel 🥰🥰

Let's not talk about the United States, which is a country with frequent shootings and a high crime rate. Robberies and drugs are rampant, and the streets are full of homeless people setting up tents. This is also the case in many Western countries. Would you dare to walk alone on the streets of the United States in the early morning? And in some Western countries, especially ladies, would you dare to walk alone on the streets in the early morning? In China, you can go out to eat on the street if you are hungry at 1 a.m., because there are surveillance cameras everywhere in China. If you commit a crime and rob others, you have been captured by the surveillance camera and will be arrested the next day. China's surveillance cameras are used to monitor criminals. Western media say that China's surveillance cameras are used to monitor Chinese people. This statement is really ridiculous. You are an ordinary Chinese civilian. What are you being monitored for? What is there about you that is worth monitoring? China has a population of 1.4 billion. As long as you don't commit a crime, the government doesn't bother to care about you.

One morning in the dining room of a hotel, in Paris, we were having breakfast, and one of our group members found his bag stolen when he put his bag on a chair and went away to pick up some food, even though he asked his son to keep an eye on it. It was such an unpleasant experience because in China we all get used to leaving stuff on the chairs or other places and going away for a while.

One thing I couldn’t understand is that in western countries some people would have problem with surveillance cameras in public areas, because it violates privacy. Why is privacy needed in public areas? Don’t they know ‘private’ and ‘public’ are two completely opposite ideas? If you’re not up to no good, why are you so afraid of being seen? Plus, it’s not every camera a camera for security purposes or tracking people’s traces (for people who had criminal records or suspicious activity), there are also cams for traffic monitoring, speeding, weather monitoring and etc. So yea, that’s that.

As an American who lived and worked in China for nearly 10 years, until covid hit, I never once feared walking the streets or alleyways, day or late night. If locals stared, it was simply from curiosity and excitement to see a foreigner in person. School children would often approach to practice their English, politely saying hello and asking what country I'm from. Now that I'm living in New England, I often witness ugly behavior nearly everywhere I go, from road rage to privileged wives of the wealthier class being rude those they feel are below them.

Very, very interesting discussions about china. I am a hongkonger coming to Shenzhen to retire. The policeman of Shenzhen assured me that I could take 200,000 RMB in cash from the bank back to my home by metro without any risk of robbery. Believe it or not, I followed his advice for more than 10 times and every time I reached home safely. And sometimes I detoured to the supermarket before coming home with the money in my backpack. Then why did I go to the police in the first place? Just like anyone from the West who has money in his backpack, I was scared to death the first time and thought there was someone tracking me . So I went up to the police and asked them to look up their surveillanence cameras to trace the suspects who followed behind my back . The policeman took just one day to rewind their videos and called up the two guys walking behind my back. Yes, police has the cell phone of everybody. So it turned out that I was over re-acted and over sensitive. Those guys were just men on the street. This is my personal experience and not a fiction. China is in deed the safest place on earth and I was the witness. How did china make it so safe? As what the Shenzhen policeman told me : all criminals will be caught and will be properly punished appropriate to the degree of damages the criminals have done to the society.

No… “the negative perception a lot of the world thinks”(1:12) about China is NOT the view of the vast majority of people in the Global South; which accounts for 87% of the world’s population. The people that have these negative perceptions are from the collective West and it’s vassal state allies (USA, Canada, EU, The UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, The Philippines, Pacific island nations, Israel), which is NOT representive of “the world”, as the West often thinks and says. Americans and many Europeans often don’t realise that the American (and to a lesser extend the UK) media’s global reach is massive and the largest in the world. The Americans run the largest propaganda machine in the world. This is a FACT, that can be fact checked. The Americans control a lot of the global Geo-political narrative; even if it’s skewed and full of misinformation. So it is not surprising that most people in the West have an anti-China, anti-CCP bias. Only from experiencing each country for ourselves, can we debunk these false narratives and flat out lies.

I think you might have misunderstood the credit system as the so-called "social credit points." This system exists in most countries. For example, here in Japan, there is a similar system (JICC). Every time you miss a loan payment or forget to file taxes, it leaves a record in the system. Whenever you apply for a loan, the bank will check this institution for your negative records, and that's it. The situation in China is similar. Financial-related negative records can affect your loan financing and travel (it will only restrict you from flying economy class). Other behaviors, such as running a red light, have nothing to do with this system and would at most result in a fine. Isn't it the same in other countries?

There are basically no homeless people in China, which solves the main safety problems. So why is there no homeless people in China? 1. Chinese people like to save money to avoid extreme situations. 2. the homeless are a shame to local governments or family members, so they usually receive substantial help quickly. 3. There are no large-scale drug users because the cost of drug use and sales in China is too high.

And I've also been to European countries, Japan, etc. China is THE safest and the people here is very nice to foreigners. I was questioned by the Italian immgration for half an hour, I can see the officer's attitude is not so friendly just because I am a foreigner. Btw, you guys are awesome telling the truth about China. and you will be questioned by those clowns who will say you were paid by the CCP, and just ingore them.

Thank you very much for your bravery and sincerity. What makes me feel the most sad is not the misunderstanding of China by Europeans and Americans, but what makes me extremely sad is that the media and young people in Taiwan, as well as a few young people in Hong Kong, are the ones who slander China the most. Their defamation of China and Chinese people through various channels makes me feel particularly sad, and they even do not allow their relatives, friends, or even people in their respective regions to have any kind and positive evaluations of China. I personally think cultural exchange is too important, and I hope that people around the world can communicate and exchange with each other as friendly as possible, including people from countries that are hostile to each other. Believe that doing so will make the world a better place!

The social credit score you guys have been discussing is actually a scoring system for a Chinese shopping site that adds points based on returning shared bikes on time or the number of times you shop in order to get a higher score for certain vip services, why it's considered to be the government monitoring people's behaviour is beyond me. Not to mention the fact that social credit scores for bank loans in the US are rarely commented on, strange

Westerners typically "stick-out" in Asia. No need to do that because you are not well-dressed. Here's a tip. Wait until you arrive, then budget some time to study how people of your age dress to look smart and blend at different places. (town centers vs a nature walk). OFF. Then shop first for the right stores (according to your budget). You will then be ready for the next, bigger step: learning higher Asian standards of behavior.

Police are just nomal people, they dance, they laugh, they help, there might be bad cops, just like there are bad people, and i feel much safer in China because of all this cameras.
