Worst thing would have been to get beat up, but I rather get beat up than lose 2000$.

What? You care about $2k more than yourself? What if they break your arm or your leg. You wanna be disable for the rest of your life instead of losing $2000? How dumb is that?


If you pay me 2000$ you can break one Leg of me.


"Give us all your money or we'll break one of your legs!"

I don't think you understand the situation here. If they were to harm him, it would be MUCH worse than just one leg. It could have been his life. Can't do much with $2000 if you're dead can you?

I'm also pretty sure that if you have a broken leg there isn't much you can do to fight back, and they'll take your money anyway. So your options are to either give them what they want and hope they don't harm you, or they harm you and take what they want. Lesser of two evils.


You have seen too many movies lol! No gangster would kill a tourist because he doesn't give him money. In what world are you living. If you didn't know: murdering people is also illegal in china and if they get caught they don't want to get in jail forever because they murdered someone.
These small pseudo-gangsters who mostly only try to steal from tourists are not these type of russian mafia guys who would kill someone.


- You're in a foreign country and don't know where you are
- You don't speak the language
- You're in a dodgy area
- You're outnumbered.

You have nothing going for you. You're scared and don't know what extent they will go to. My point was, whether they harm you or not they will still take your money. Why would they beat you up and then not take your money? That would just make it easier to take, so the best option in this scenario is to give them the money and pray to god they don't hurt you.

And that's why I don't want to go to China.

With all these muggings, gangsters, food poisoning and riots happening, even more so.

You just described a large portion of Europe, too.

The problem is that these kinds of people can sniff out tourists with extreme ease.

probably makes me want to stay away from China more than all the things you mentioned.
Most of those can be avoided just fine. MrBitter just made some bad decisions.

I don't know why people think big cities are less prone to crime. It's the other way around. Take the LA metropolitan area in the US, for example.

China is a country with a widening gap between rich and poor. Shanghai is the perfect example of this gap, where the rich and the poor intermingle, and in so doing produce the conditions for economic crime.

they kidnapped a foreigner, so apparently it is worth it for them. maybe at the beginning walking away was an option based on the neighborhood, but eventually he didn't have an option. saying "man up" is incredibly stupid. money is replaceable; getting the shit beat out of you is not a real option. people watch too many action flicks and think you can walk away from a serious beating.

Yeah, they wouldn't have killed him, I'm quite sure. It's too risky. If a group like that had a policy of killing they couldn't keep it up for long. Usually the less organized ones will be more dangerous because they don't really know what they're doing.

Running is a bit scary if they have mates around but I don't think that would have been the case there... I don't think the dude would have started shooting his back so running should have worked fine. Of course it's difficult to think straight in a situation like that and it's pretty shitty being lost in a country the language of which you don't speak but yeah...

Also I have some sort of paranoia about things like this so I always carry only the minimal amount of money I need and never carry my bank cards around. Also assuming it's as easy there as it is here, temporarily change your maximum daily withdraws to like 50 dollars for both transactions and withdrawals as you go traveling, and back to normal when you return... I also think that everyone should partake in some real self-defense courses(No Karate or Judo or useless stuff like that, legit women's self-defense for example is awesome for anyone). Also helps with decisionmaking and confidence(If shit hits the fan I can defend myself against this dude unless he has a gun)


Still glad to hear you're fine. Kind of puzzled by how it's possible to transfer that much, try to be more careful with that in the future and consider at least some of what I've said.

Silly westerners have no idea how things work in Asia. You refuse to hand over the money, you get tortured, and then they take your money. They could be pseudo gangsters, or they could be Snakeheads or triads, you really want to mess with them? You honestly think that people will care if a white person dies in China? What do they extradite the 'psuedo-gangsters' to be tried in the US? Rofl.

If you get caught carrying that knife you could be in a lot more trouble then having to give someone your money. IDK what the rules are in Hungary, but in most countries that I've been too it's illegal to carry a hidden blade/lethal weapon without some kind of permit.

But realisticly no one will ever know you had it, but say those china gangsters had guns. What then?
