How safe is China?
China is generally a lot safer than the United States. There is extremely little violent crime, and even theft is very uncommon in most parts. The biggest dangers to teachers will likely come as they are growing accustomed to traffic in China and trying to make sure they get a fair price bargaining.
Security is very tight in China and most of the things are regulated in the country. Hence, China is one of the safest countries in the world. But petty crime does exist, especially around major urban areas. However, there haven’t been any serious crimes committed against any foreigners. If you’re vigilant against pick-pocketing and snatching of purse in the open, you should be fine. Be extra vigilant in crowded places like stations and markets.
