> As a westerner you should always be OK, but this is a country with no rule of law.

Let's be clear: I am not discussing nor defend China internal policies here. I honestly do not care and I am not pro China.

I am pointing a single fact: As a EU researcher, it is easier now to go to China than to go the US for conferences and collaboration. And we do feel more welcome there.

That single fact alone should terrify any US politician with a brain.

Sorry, it wasn't a criticism of what you said, i wanted to add a caveat because what you said was true in 99.9999% of cases, but as China laws application are arbitrary (and their laws change all the time), you still ought to be careful when going there.
