Not if you value your life. Let's see, in the last two weeks I've heard a story of a young college student getting beaten to death and of a family getting murdered in their home by thieves.
Easy enough to dismiss until you go to a bar only to have someone try to kill your friend. I just got back from the joke of a police station here, where nothing would have been said to us, if we didn't go there on our own.
One of the first things a Chinese person told me before I ever went to China was to stay with a large group of friends, if I travelled outside of the city. Otherwise, someone would rob me and kill me. This event took place inside the province capital. I'm sure the bartender would have done something to stop it, if he wasn't so busy kicking my friend in the face.
The biggest problem is the complete lack of action by the police. They questions the Chinese people together in one room, while they separated the foreigners. The Chinese suspects were allowed to leave before all the statements were taken. Of course, bystanders were allowed to come in and watch.
Now my friend has to worry about retaliation because the guy who attacked him may have Chinese mob connections. And my friend was just about to have his wife arrive here. It's unlikey that my friend will stay the month.
**** this crap!
