I had an coworker who lived in Israel. I mentioned that I’d love to visit, but was nervous due to violence/terrorism. She just snorted and said she felt the same way about coming to the US. We both realized that our fears were blown way out of proportion due to media sensationalism.

Anyway, the streets are fine.

Now, think again about what media says about the Chinese government.

I do think about it. I’ve been to China. I have many friends who spent a great deal of their lives in China. I’m not sure why you think I haven’t “thought again” about the media’s takes on China.

Also take into consideration that the biggest anti-China propaganda is coming from the one country which is afraid of being overtaken as the world's biggest economy by China.

China doesn't seem to be a big problem in any other country across the globe. Strange. It's also quite funny how so many more countries in the world are afraid of the USA, particularly those with oil reserves and other natural resources.
