China offers a compelling mix of modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and varied natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some of Pakistan's 236 million citizens. While tourist arrivals and spending may fluctuate, China's status in the global tourism market remains strong, attracting a segment of Pakistani visitors.
China is generally considered safer for tourists compared to Pakistan. According to the Global Peace Index, China ranks 87th out of 160 countries, while Pakistan is ranked 138th. The murder rate in China is significantly lower at 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Pakistan's 4.0. In terms of organized crime, both countries have challenges, but China shows lower risks in certain areas. For example, the index for mafia groups is 6.0 in Pakistan and 7.0 in China, indicating a relatively higher risk in Pakistan. Additionally, China has a lower score in arms trafficking (2.5) compared to Pakistan (8.0), suggesting a safer environment in this regard. Overall, while no destination is without risks, statistics indicate that China is relatively safer for tourists from Pakistan.
