Chinese pickpockets are second to none, and probably the world's most skilled at lifting phones, wallets, money and and anything that you may be carrying with you. How do you avoid them? What should you do if you discover one or see someone picking another person's pocket? It is very important to understand the dangers associated with pickpocket gangs and also how being a foreigner can be a help and a hindrance in this particular situation.
In this video I talk about crime, pickpocketing, theft, and generally how to deal with these things in China and abroad.
