He better sing the praises of the Communist government and stay on the straight and narrow while he’s there.

Being Canadian won’t save him now if he pisses the wrong person off. In fact, it will probably hurt him.

You will then be relieved on behalf of Spencer Foo to hear that there is absolutely zero risk associated with travelling and living in China as a westerner.



I have friends who are living and working there for both longer and shorter periods of time, and so far none are dead due to pissing the wrong people off. It might sound weird, but it's just another country in that way. Imagine that.

China on the list of countries I will not visit let alone live.

It's the same as anywhere else. What the news is freaking out about is one thing, but the average Joe/Qiao just wants to go about their business and be left alone, regardless of what their government is doing

You’re half right.
