China offers a compelling mix of modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and varied natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some of Serbia's 7 million residents. While tourist arrivals and revenue may fluctuate, China remains a significant contender in global tourism.
China is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Serbia. While Serbia ranks higher in safety, particularly for walking alone at night, China has a lower murder rate (0.5 per 100,000 people) compared to Serbia (1.1). According to the Global Peace Index, China is ranked 87th, while Serbia is 53rd, indicating that Serbia is perceived as safer overall. In terms of organized crime, Serbia has higher indices for mafia and crime networks, suggesting a more significant presence of organized crime compared to China. However, China scores better in areas such as arms trafficking and foreign crime. Overall, while there are differences in safety perceptions and crime statistics, tourists from Serbia can generally expect a safe experience in China.
