“Exercise a high degree of caution in China due to the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws.”
“Our ability to provide consular assistance in China is limited due to the level of transparency in China’s judicial system. It may also impact your ability to obtain effective legal assistance.”
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
- 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
If you are a dual citizen, you should always travel using your valid Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to Chinese authorities. If you enter China on a Chinese passport or identity card, the Chinese government may consider you a citizen of China, and refuse to grant you access to Canadian consular services.

Executing people for drug offences is pretty fucked in the first place. Hell, executing people at all is atrocious. The death penalty is barbaric.
OP’s point is they are leaving important details and using anger inducing headlines to get readers.
I agree, but lots of countries still do it
Saudi did 300 odd last year, but you won’t find my friend here posting about that.
Nor will you find them posting anything else to the Canadian community.
Ah, the good old ”unless you (and all of your perceived group) have already covered all the world, then this particular point is xenophobic/hypocritical/whatever”…

What if you only post about one country?
Oh well if everyone is doing it then I guess its OK.
At that point you may as well join in on the fun so you don’t stand out as a loser
I don’t think anyone travels to Saudi Arabia if they don’t have to. It’s a backwards hell hole. Label that xenophobia if you want but you couldn’t pay me to travel there.
