I have traveled extensively to both the US and China (where I did a master degree) several years ago.

I did not keep the count of many times I crossed each borders, but I can assure you it was pretty much always easier to get into China than it was to get into the US (and that was before Trump).

Chinese authorities are no jokes, but the amount of non sense you need to put up to get into the free land, is very high.

I was mentally prepared to be violated at the Chinese border and it was one of the most boring borders I've crossed. I am not sure I was even asked a single question. Meanwhile coming back to America was the worst border I've crossed, the border guard barked at me as if I were a criminal and asked invasive questions in an accusatory manor. I am very white and very American.
