China underwent a major transformation and cleanup around about 2018, it's a totally different country now, so any observations or experiences prior to the cleanup are effectively about a "different" country. Cameras are everywhere, making the safety factor one of the best if not the best in the world.

I live in Shenzhen with my Chinese wife since start of covid, don't believe the propaganda, China has more personal freedoms than the so called West.
Shenzhen is the safest and greenest city I have ever lived in, and I have travelled extensively to over 40 countries in my work around the world including EU and USA.
Fantastic city, great people.

I came to Shekou of Shenzhen from Australia five years ago, and I think it's a very safe city with cameras on the streets that make me feel more relaxed and safer while walking alone during the night. Most residents of Shenzhen are young people, they are friendly and open mind. So, it's a nice city for work.

I think a lot of this is based on outdated data. I am expat living in Shenzhen with my wife. Security cameras are everywhere, the city has totally cleaned up over last 5 years or so, both on sleaze/crime and also it is spotlessly clean.
Its the safest city we ever been, and we have travelled the world.

Hope my comment not offend anybody.** a country law is very important to protect tourist safety.
