    Terrorism is not the only source of unsafety - in fact, it is a very-very minor source of unsafety even in the most terrorism-ridden countries. There are areas even within Beijing where you better not go. Much worse in rural areas - luckily, tourists rarely go there.

    No, really guys... terrible here. The food is horrible, it is actually a 4th world country, the women are ugly, and all of the language programs are a trick -- they teach you a form of Chinese with five tones instead of four.
    I feel like this sort of thing is the real problem with the Great Firewall. Chinese people are in all practical terms cut off from the internet that the rest of the world inhabits, so their entire view of outsiders is dictated by whatever Western mass media filters through, and so it's no surprise at all that they think all black people are violent criminals and all Muslims are radical terrorists.

    I don't claim everything is racist, you people just don't like the fact that race indeed plays a part in many things. Your own stupid delusion is not my problem.

    Not so much as you would think. There are quite a few Chinese outside of China and that still creates quite a bit of information exchange -- albeit with a Chinese take on things at times. By the way, there are actually quite a few Chinese Muslims, nor are they just in the western provinces.
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    Well... I'd love to say that it's not true, but it is.

    It's not saying you should avoid these areas completely - just to not wander around in them alone or at night. I'd say it was pretty dangerous to pretend otherwise. It could just say to avoid "low income areas", but sadly that and race seem to go hand in hand more than anybody would like to admit.

    The 'someone did/said something racist' threads really do make it easy to know how many racists there are on MMOC-OT.

    You mean to tell me a country that enforces cultural segregation is actually dangerous for foreigners? Picture me surprised.

    No, not really.

    You seem to be shooting off opinions, unsupported by references, as if they were facts -- and doing it quite a bit in this thread.

    You people? Who...us white people?

    Your whole shtick is "How can I blame this on white people?" You do that even when white people are not involved, e.g. you blamed white people when an Asian American shot a black American!

    Sorry, are you saying that Beijing, a megametropolis of 25 million people has no rough areas that people should avoid?

    Show us proof of these "rough" areas. Otherwise you're talking out your ass

    chill out I was just asking a question.
    It sounds absurd for a metropolis the size of a nation to have no bad areas.
    After researching the topic it seems that yes, Beijing is one of the safest cities in the world and that's great. There are some warnings to tourists but not much about violence, more about petty crimes and scams.

    Fairplay to the Chinese though,If that is correct, it's a surprising achievement.

    They do. Just look at how they try to single every one of them as if they were special. Of course you're going to give them a superiority attitude and get racism.

    It's not surprising at all. They are ethnically homogeneous, and therefore get along. If that fact surprised you, you have an incredibly incorrect worldview.
