I see a lot of influencers acting like it's no big deal to travel to China. That it's as safe as any other Asian country. Meanwhile, for three years, China holds Western hostages. Not a place I'd want to visit even with the technological cities like Shenzhen, the historical sites, the beautiful landscape and the ancient culture being so alluring [1]
I prefer to remain free*
* And instead take my chances getting maimed by an American cop at a traffic stop or protest [2] ;-)
