China spans 9.6M km. It has some of the biggest and most modern megacities (Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenzhen to name a few) and features ancient historical wonders like the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Terracotta Warriors.

The nature spans salt lakes and rainbow mountains akin to South America, to the Northern Lights in Mohe down to karst formations of Guilin shared with Vietnam's Halong Bay.

The cuisine is diverse and dishes popular in places like Xi'an reveal lasting influences dating back to the Silk Road.

If you can't find "somewhere really nice" amongst the myriad people and locations you haven't tried.

None of that matters when it's not a safe place to be.

I don't want to try when they have an authoritarian government.

Visiting somewhere means submitting yourself to their laws. With China's, that's not an option for me. Having restricted communication with home is a dealbreaker too. I would not let that stand so I'd have to break their laws.

It may be a beautiful country but it's not a beautiful place to be. At least not for someone like me.

Though having said that there are many places I refuse to travel to. The US is currently one as well for obvious reasons.
