Why Are So Many American Tourists Flocking to China but Skipping Attractions?

Other countries have their own tariffs status for these nations.

[@panyaboonc5621]

A year and a half ago, I met a young American couple in long distance coach travelling from South Thailand to Bangkok. They have just graduated for college and it is their first time traveling in Asia. We have quite a long casual and friendly conversations all the way to Bangkok. They have flown from U.S. to Singapore, traveled to Malaysia, Thailand and going to Cambodia then to Vietnam. They said to me that Vietnam will be their final country before flying back to U.S. I then asked them since they are so near to China why not visit China too. I have told China have a lot more to see. I was surprised with what they have told me about China. They told me they will told not go to China. They were told by the media and warned by their government that China is very dangerous for foreigner visitors. Chinese police detain foreigners for no reason and detain for months or even years. China is dirty, not safe even in board daylight, robbery is common, public transportation is backward, Chinese are very unfriendly and won't help foreigners visiting China. Then when we have arrived in Bangkok I wish them good luck and be careful when traveling. They said they are careful and said these countries they are visiting is far safer than China. I was so surprised how navie they are. And how much they were lied by their media and government.

China hired many teachers and professionals in the 1980s and onwards to teach. Chinese built their roads, highways, bridges, and new cities emulating western styles. Chinese old and ancient style building can’t be used to built 100 story so they adapted to western design. As for technology, China relied on Western intellectual properties to modernize their country. Will they have original meaningful inventions, discoveries, breakthroughs, and related byproducts in the future maybe they will. There is plenty of opportunity up ahead on earth and beyond where space domain is widely open. China can build satellite space colony or colonize mars, mine nearby asteroids, lunar, and planets. Infinite resources in space are waiting. On the competitors, USA companies have started to do studies in mining nearby asteroids, there China can potentially be ahead of the game. Then, China gave permission to western companies and institutions to invest until they started leaving when their bottom line is affected by Chinese style competitions and left for Mexico, India, other Asian countries, and Europe. There are still many western companies still operating in China. As for tourists, China doesn’t need foreign tourists, their pool of tourists from a billion population can travel from cities to cities as tourists.
