Suprisingly while I was in southern India for 6 years, I could leave my house door wide open and have not got a single penny (paise) taken. I thought China might be as safe (naive of me). In India females tend to be victim of random molesting especially in crowded train or busses where many hands comes from all over where u cant really pin point who is the perpetrator. I witness mens there grabs tourist breast like no tomorrow of which I attacked one of them for doing that. But laws there are strict on culprits rather than vice versa. U can actually get a medal of honor for breaking noses and limbs of these predators.
That sounds like the opposite of China. You will be robbed in an instant if you let your guard down here, but you probably don’t need to worry about getting molested on the bus. Chinese people are more often intimidated by foreigners and are very unlikely to act confrontational in any way.
