That's one thing about the PRC - much less chance of being raped if you're a woman or attacked in a pub by a drunken headcase because he was in the mood to pick a fight.

Not sure I can agree on this one. While the chinese boys may be shy and immature, Chinese men late 20s/30s can be very aggressive and persistent. I have known them to continually go after a younger girl they like, hassling her on qq, nagging her on the phone, then taking her to a bar, getting her drunk, and then taking her back to his hotel and having his way with her. That is like rape in a way, in that they can't accept her refusal, and continue to persist in hassling her. Also as bars open later than the UK and alcohol is cheaper, I've met plenty of drunken nutters in China, both chinese and foreigners, me and a malaysian friend got chased out of one nightclub many many years back because we made some idiot lose face by refusing to drink with him, it so annoyed him he went out and drove his van drunk into a nice shiny new car outside causing some damage, and proceeded to speed off down the road pished as a newt screaming lao waiiiiiii out of his window??????!!!!!!!!
