"Exercise a high degree of caution in China due to the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws."

LMAO "arbitrary enforcement of local laws". This must be a Monty Pyhon skit.

In China, you may also be subject to:

severe punishments, even for non-violent acts such as financial crimes. Chinese authorities may also apply the death penalty for crimes deemed serious, including drug offences

"severe punishments, even for non-violent acts such as financial crimes." They are mad China treats rich people crimes against the poor as crime. As The Internationale says, under capitalism "The law oppresses us and tricks us".

an exit ban, which you may only learn about as you go through customs and immigration controls when trying to leave China. An exit ban may prevent you from leaving the country if you, your family or your employer and/or business associates are involved in any open civil or criminal investigations, including business disputes

"Oh, no, our white collar criminals can't flee from their wrongdoings!"

This is some high class commedy.

Yeah Canada arrested the daughter of Huawei's founder, Meng Wanzhou, for nearly three years. It was for bullshit reasons and on the US's behalf because as we all know, Canadians are just American henchmen.

Oh right, thanks, that's probably what I was thinking of. Some gall Canada has to act like China will do scary detaining after that. If Canada was honest, they'd be putting up an advisory recommending people not to come to their own country.
