There are still other issues in China like

- bad access to world internet
- corruption
- zenophobia/racism
- bad manners/behaviors from locals
- no weed
- food delicacies (mexican guacamole, european chocolate, real cheeseburger, etc)
- esturk 10y agoWhat do you mean by no weed? Just like in many states where it is illegal, you just need to know people.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoWeed grows along the great wall in Beijing. The raves around the wall are infamous.
- ngoldbaum 10y agoThat may be true, but then you're taking a real risk of being thrown in a Chinese prison, maybe for years.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoActually...my friend went to an organized rave in north Beijing, the authorities stopped the bus on the way back to the city, all Chinese were drug tested, the foreigners were just ignored for some reason. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but I've never heard of anyone getting even deported for drugs, let alone jailed. But remember Chinese laws are enforced selectively, so it is playing with fire.
- lazaroclapp 10y agoI don't know about the rest of it, I suspect you might well be right, but having been born in Mexico, lived in the US for 5 years and traveled to China for 2 weeks, I can tell you that "lack of food delicacies" is a much bigger issue in the USA than in China from my point of view ;)
