    Being arrested in China, placed on exit ban, tortured, or executed.

    What do you plan on doing in China? You must have quite the crime spree planned.

      Do you not understand US-China tensions? Both countries fear each other, and someone who’ve lived in the US for practically their entire life suddenly wants to visit China? That’d definitely raise some alarms about a potential spy. Maybe nothing happens, maybe they falsely assume I’m a spy.

      Same thing when I return to the US, those border agents are gonna ask me why I went to my China during these times of high tensions.

      There are risks from both countries. Whereas if China was democratic and US-friendly, none of these would be an issue.

      Do you know how many people in the US were falsely arrested? That’s in a democratic country. Think about those odds if it were an authoritarian one.
