[quote=BENJAMIN ,19246]Thieves are everywhere in China. If you look like a westerner you will be a target. I think from your previous post you are part of the ubiquitous china gene pool, so this will help you. However, you still have to keep a close eye on valuables. Try to look like you haven't got much money. Leave your lap-top at home unless its insured. If you are visiting the country side using public transport these will be your main areas for concern.Regarding rape, assault and fights of any Kind. I've not come across anything here to spark any concern, despite the dirt and squalid aesthetics. Generally speaking, they are a family orientated people, and care for one another. I see 4-5 year old children working in shops (not exploited ankle bound slaves for those fostering unfounded concern), catching the bus by themselves, playing in the street and out shopping. so in comparison to lots of western countries with all our neatly rowed houses, clean streets and expensive gadgets, the place seem to be a whole lot safer. Just trust your gut feeling and you will be ok.B[/quote]
