Is China a safe country for Western tourists to travel?

In my city in America there are Airlines that transport people to China. Though I did read about the US State Department stating to use increased caution when visiting China due to the possibility of Chinese authorities arresting and detaining US Citizens and never being allowed to leave the country. But what do you say?

Millions visit without issue. Few have problems.

Go if you want.

We were there a couple years ago. Safer than American gun-infested cities. We were out late nights quite often. There are night markets- food, souvenirs, clothes, whatever. Wangfuching (wahn FOO cheen) market was great fun. If you ask an English speaking Chinese a question (where is…) a crowd of Chinese will form. Often a Chinese or small group will ask to be photoed with "white people"- your family! Drop all your fears and GO!
KNOW LAWS AND DON'T BREAK THEM.

Western tourist are generally fine. Depends on what Trump does. Canada is on the receiving end of having 2 people detained in China as collateral damage for the USA extradition request of a chinese executive.
