I wasn't cheated by anyone. I've lived in China for years. I see the facade the government puts on whenever global events occur. China is very strict, I agree with that. Such is the modus operandi of a fairly oppressive country. Now don't misunderstand me, I have a great time living in China and doubly so for my pocketbook, but to claim China is safe for locals or foreigners alike is ignorance. I've seen firsthand local friends fined by corrupt police officers for things they didn't do, hve property or their businesses taken by the government even if they didnt break or violate any laws, the persecution of anyone who speaks poorly about the leadership. Every country has these problems so no sense in misinforming the community about a country that has a lot of good along with a lot of bad.
