However, my expereince of China including a few days in Guangzhou and Shenzhen is that by international standards it is very safe.  I have seen minimal crime in China..yes some pickpocketing, and stuff stolen from packs, and bicycle theft, but few crimes against ythe individual. In fact, if you drop some money or leave your camera on a park bench, the likelihood is someone will come chasing after you with it.I believe Guangzhou has a bad reputation as it is perhaps one of the worst cities in China... and because the Chinese are very proptective towards foreigners they tell us to be careful about everything we do and everywhere we go!I have not heard of any Foreeigners incurring actual bodily harm from people (hmmm, one man foolishly invited a women of ill repute to his room and she took his laptoo, but that happens anywhere) There is a FAR GREATER danger of injuring yourself by falling into an uncovered manhole after dark (I still have the grazes and bruises); from the unsafe conditions for pedestrians; or from electrocution from the appalling electrical safety standards especially in wet areas.This has to be one of the safest countries I have been to... I have only been assaulted in the USA and the UK.[/quote]
