> If you travel to the US, please do not fear violence from the police.

The police (and other uniformed services) are the main reason I would not ever come near the US. I value personal safety more than a few picturesque national parks, and China as a tourist destination does provide both.

The US is beautiful and the people are very friendly, I loved the place. There was a lot of inequality: I've never seen so much homeless people and such nice neighbourhoods together (I visited SF and LA). Shooting happen but the US is so large, at lot of stuff is bound to happen. I do think it's sad that gun violence and police violence are so prevalent but what if this is a symptom and not the root cause?

Opposition to authoritarian violence has you avoiding the US and visiting China? Hmm.

If you actually read the comment, you would see it says "personal safety".

The Chinese are not known to randomly shoot first and ask questions later.
