This isn’t in China but Kazakhstan. The insignia “SOBR” on the police uniforms is the Russian acronym for Special Unit for Quick Reaction.
Always wanted to go to Kazakstan. Fabulous mosques, really art.
Former 0wner of my gym, woman my size (5’2, 124 lbs), went to Middle East on motorcycle trip. Started at Istanbul, ended in NW China. Made a video of trip. In Kazakstan, they were escorted across the country by Kazakstan police. They made a video of the trip, available at my library. If you are interested, I’ll ask library to find the CD—name escapes me at this moment.
