China offers a compelling mix of modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and diverse natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Romanian travelers. With 11.6 million Romanians traveling abroad annually, there is potential interest in visiting China, despite varying trends in tourist arrivals.
China is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Romania. However, when comparing safety metrics, Romania ranks higher in several areas. According to the Global Peace Index, Romania is 36th, while China is 87th out of 160 countries. In terms of murder rates, Romania has a rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people, whereas China's is lower at 0.5. Regarding organized crime, Romania scores better in various categories, such as mafia groups (4.0 vs. 7.0 for China) and state crime (3.5 vs. 7.0). However, China has lower scores in some areas like arms trafficking (2.5) compared to Romania (3.5). Overall, while China is relatively safe, Romanian tourists may find it beneficial to be aware of the differences in crime rates and safety indices when traveling.
