[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say no. China has a habit of imposing exit bans on foreigners to use as bargaining chips, and there has been some worrying incidents of violence against foreigners this past year by locals. In a society controlled by the CCP, public sentiment against Americans can turn nasty very fast (and it is already not good).

For language, go to Taiwan. It will not be the same but close enough.[/quote]

I lived there for years and never saw that happen, and I saw a lot of sh-t happen. A friend lost her passport in a taxi and they didn’t care if she ever left. After going to several police offices, I finally asked the expat community for someone I could bribe.

General Americans are safe there because they will make an example out of any Chinese who hurts them. I would let my kid go because it’s getting to the point where is just as unsafe in the US. For bodily safety for American women, it’s much safer in China. I walked home at 1am often with no issues. [/quote]

I really don't understand your stories at all. Lost passport in a cab and they didn't care if she left? Don't know what that means, or how that involved bribing. But I am betting you lived there a while ago. China of today is very different, in their attitudes towards westerners. There are very few westerners there post covid and they are not as welcome.
