Hahaha all this scare mongering is ridiculous. I have a 10 year visa to China and go all the time. If anything,the quality of life there is way better than home in NY or Montreal, and I'm talking about Hong Kong and Shanghai.

The Great People`s republic that kills thousands of political prisoners a year has issued a travel warning to Canadian visitors. You may want to re-think the value of your 10 year visa. Being an American won`t be much safer for travellers.
BTW the Canadian drug smuggler who was given a death sentence is a repeat offender who back in 2014 was given a 2 year sentence in B.C. for drug trafficking. Two years in Canada against death in China for a similar crime.
