China offers a compelling mix of modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and diverse natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Moroccan travelers. Annually, around 600,000 Moroccans travel abroad, and a portion of them may find China an attractive option for their travels.
China is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Morocco, but it has a lower safety ranking compared to Morocco. According to the Global Peace Index, China ranks 87th out of 160 countries, while Morocco ranks 76th. In terms of murder rates, Morocco has a rate of 1.9 per 100,000 people, compared to China's 0.5. This indicates that while China has a lower murder rate, Morocco is ranked higher in overall safety. When examining organized crime, Morocco scores better in several categories, such as mafia groups (1.0 for Morocco vs. 7.0 for China) and crime networks (6.5 for Morocco vs. 7.5 for China). However, China has lower scores in areas like arms trafficking (2.5 for China vs. 3.0 for Morocco) and cocaine trade (3.5 for China vs. 6.0 for Morocco). Overall, while China is relatively safe, tourists from Morocco should be aware of the differences in crime and safety rankings between the two countries.
