I was joking with the Canadian comment, but I am quasi concerned about the PRC putting arbitrary rules in place for American travelers; especially in regards to Tibet permits. I haven't read about anything specifically and I doubt that they really want to be portrayed as doing such. However I figured I would check from you folks over there regarding the regulatory climate.

The government randomly restricts travel to Tibet but there's nothing you can do about it so I wouldn't waste the time worrying. None of the people you run into are going to give a poo poo. If you end up in China and get owned you can travel around western Sichuan, which is Tibet but without all the rules. Part of the northern bit is still off limits to foreigners last I heard.

Are you in a mainland organized tour? It's going to be as safe as a North Korean guided tour. You don't even have to present flower to Mao statue.

Nah, you might get asked about the trade war or what you think of Trump or whatever, but it's plain curiosity. Here is your two-step guide to avoiding problems: 1. Say "I hope everyone can come to an agreement". This works for everything: Taiwan, trade war, taxes, your boss being a dick, etc. 2. On the off-chance they push on a political issue, add "That's for the governments to decide, I'm just a [profession]." Bam, done. (Also, seriously, Americans faking being Canadians is the most obvious fakey-fake; American accents and voices are really distinctive)

If I am super polite and avoid confrontation, they will definitely believe the Canadian ruse. quote:Are you in a mainland organized tour? It's going to be as safe as a North Korean guided tour.

This is of course until "Mr Tudou" hosed up Canada's gentle beaver image.

So, two videos of tanks on the move. Some say it's to Shenzhen (close to HK), some say maybe Xiamen (close to Taiwan) https://twitter.com/ux5zTomkQjkF7N4/status/1136439546428633088 https://twitter.com/c338ki_selina/status/1136265963857297408

sincx posted:Uh, no, now is a terrible time to say you're Canadian. The PRC has finally figured out that Canada is just a US client state whose foreign policy is at the mercy of the US DOJ/Trump (e.g. Huawei arrest, USMCA forbidding Canada from signing a trade agreement with China). Actually arresting crooks is cool and good, god bless america

Seriously, American tourists walking around in Shanghai, fat as a depressed orca, wearing a bumbag and talking at 300 decibles with an accent like an antebellum loudspeaker and then saying they're from Caaaanada. It's a thing.

When I lived in Shanghai the only other Americans I saw where all professional types like me. The cooler him young ones would hang out in some Lowai bars in Jingan but otherwise kept it low key. I didn't see any obnoxious tourists (that weren't Chinese. Goddamn that fancy TV antenna).

Favorite American I met was in Beijing near the Mutianyu section of the wall. He was fat black guy and was just chilling on a section of stone. We'd talk about whatever in-between him getting the selfie with a foreigner treatment.
