[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes definitely. What do you think is going to happen to your kid? [/quote]

OP here. My concern is that they will find a reason not to let him return home. I’m not worried about street crime or problems with regular citizens. I’m concerned solely about the government using an American citizen as a political pawn.

As long as he's not involved in a foreign government or foreign press, the government won't care at all. Just be clear he shouldn't suddenly develop an urge to protest. Large public squares in cities are where the government really monitors things (because that's where people may protest) but they aren't going after random tourists. Your son is likely to get more attention from female admirers than the government.[/quote]
No protests, but also nothing that could be construed as disrespectful, like taking a photo with hand gestures, or touching/damaging/removing property, etc. If your child understands the seriousness of actions that might just get a glare from a security guard in the US but might land them in prison in China and can be absolutely trusted not to goof off in ways that will get them in trouble for something they think shouldn’t be a big deal, you don’t need to be too concerned about being detained.
