You're right not to argue as you'd end up getting shot or 're-educated'

China is a very welcoming place.
I recommend anyone to visit.

It kicked off about 300m from a friends' home.I get the family are in bits but leaving it till many businesses and peoples cars were burned out and businesses louted and nothing left putting them out of business over what four nights , they could have asked people to stop after night one
There were at least 5 explosions in that area.
So whoever was responsible isn't going to stop after a day if someone asks them nicely!
Acts of terrorism camouflaged by rioting and looting mayhem is my guess.

I met a Chinese bloke in Vietnam the other day who said it's a nightmare for anyone to travel in China nowadays because of all the apps you need for everything, and that they're quite hard to get as a foreigner because you need a local number linked to your official ID and everything. Basically said that loads of places only take payment apps and even paying with cash can be a problem. How have you found it?Holiday.

I believe China uses those apps, those social media media profiles etc when you go for a job. Imagine that. Same as here though just not as official.

Payment apps are widely used. It is quite normal.(Taxis, restaurants, hotels, train/bus journeys etc.)I met a Chinese bloke in Vietnam the other day who said it's a nightmare for anyone to travel in China nowadays because of all the apps you need for everything, and that they're quite hard to get as a foreigner because you need a local number linked to your official ID and everything.

I have had no difficulty using cash though.
China is very 'on the ball' when it comes to using modern tech.
To me, using apps to pay for stuff is a bit strange (being a foc.)
At the moment cash is fine, so I'm happy to pay that way.
You can eat and drink for less than £10 a day if you go to the right cafes (where the locals eat).
