Oh. I apologise. I must have been misled by the phrase "fake my way through it" when you actually meant "I'd do it". :) If you did go, and did not shut up, the worst that would happen to you is a quick trip back to Beijing. As your Beijing-side guide would explain, the worst that could happen to your guide is a life (i.e. death) sentence in a labour camp, along with her family (including children), and any children born in the camp die there too. If you truly couldn't keep your mouth shut in such a situation, you definitely shouldn't go (and I don't believe it anyway - that'd be psychological-damage levels of lack of self-control, but because you haven't devolved into screaming abuse, you clearly do actually have enough self-control).
