China offers a rich blend of modern infrastructure, cultural heritage, and diverse natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Montenegrins. While tourist arrivals and receipts may fluctuate, China remains a significant player in global tourism, attracting a portion of Montenegro's population of around one million.
China is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Montenegro, but there are important differences in safety perceptions and crime statistics between the two countries. Montenegro ranks 10th in safety for walking alone at night among 40 European countries, while China is ranked 87th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a lower overall safety level compared to Montenegro, which is ranked 35th. In terms of murder rates, Montenegro has a rate of 2.4 per 100,000 people, whereas China's rate is significantly lower at 0.5. However, data on female murders in China is not available. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Montenegro has higher scores (indicating worse conditions) in areas such as mafia groups, crime networks, and state crime compared to China. However, China has more severe issues related to flora and fauna crime, with scores of 8.5 and 9.0 respectively, compared to Montenegro's lower scores. Overall, while China has lower murder rates, the perception of safety may vary for tourists from Montenegro, and it's advisable for travelers to stay informed and exercise caution.
