[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd allow it. In mainland China, Shanghai is the easiest place for foreigners. There's always a strong community of expats and students. And Hong Kong is even easier. China is not going to hold American students hostage, but I'd be mindful of the news and be prepared to leave at short notice should things change. Whatever study program this is exists with the cooperation of the Chinese government. I think common sense will be fine. China is endlessly interesting. I'd take the opportunity. China always takes the long view. Trump is just a passing distraction.  [/quote]

This makes sense to me, although I’d caution dc re no drugs, no political chatter etc.

Also I believe most people in Hong Kong speak Cantonese, no? So Shanghai might be a better fit language wise. [/quote]

Cantonese in HK. The Wu dialect in Shanghai. One of the exciting things about spending time in China is discovering that no can understand each other. [/quote]

Most young people in Shanghai speak mandarin, I believe, not Shainghainese. I’d think a student would be fine if they knew mandarin [/quote]
