As a regular traveler to Beijing I can assure you that while there is some crime, and it is mostly petty crimes, they would never think of robbing a foreigner (most foreigners don’t carry cash and it’s illegal for resident Chinese to posess
foreign currency). The streets are very safe, even in the poorest of neighborhoods I can walk without fear. Same for the subways, even late at night. Scheduled to be back in Beijing mid September and looking forward to it.
I agree.
Police states are the safest.
Until the police target YOU.
You read like a commie commercial
Not even pickpockets? I've been through the crushing mass of humanity known as the Beijing Central Railway Station. It seems like it would be very easy to have a wallet lifted there.
