China offers a compelling mix of modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and varied natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some of Sudan's 47 million residents. Despite fluctuations in tourist numbers, it remains a significant player in global tourism.
China is generally considered safer for tourists compared to Sudan. According to the Global Peace Index, China ranks 87th out of 160 countries, while Sudan is ranked 159th. In terms of murder rates, Sudan has a rate of 5.1 per 100,000 people, whereas China's rate is significantly lower at 0.5. The Global Organized Crime Index provides further insights, showing that while both countries face organized crime challenges, China has lower scores in categories such as foreign crime (3.0 for China vs. 7.5 for Sudan) and arms trafficking (2.5 for China vs. 8.5 for Sudan). However, China has higher scores in flora and fauna crimes compared to Sudan. Overall, tourists from Sudan can expect a safer environment in China based on these statistics.
