Is it true shenzhen has high crime for a Chinese city

Question

Because I read that people in Hong Kong complain it has high crime which I read on wikipedia. I find this hard to imagine cause when I was in NanJing I concluded there was no crime.

Answer 1

No,it's no high. But it is indeed higher than Hong Kong,while still acceptable

Answer 2

Yep, the crime is high here, but considering the population level it is still a pretty safe city.  Most of the crime is pickpocketing, so you just need to be smart about it.  Crime in HK is very low, so of course the Hongers are gonna complain about SZ.  Many come here flashing cash, dressed to the hilt and/or old and febile walking around, these are the prime targets for the thieves.

Hit me up if you have any questions about SZ, I am an American and have been living here for 3 years.

Answer 3

lol, noo its hard to regukate the amount of crimes being committed....

ive ever heard of this state as criminals place so im guessing no

Answer 4

Shenzhen has a high crime rate compare to other cities in China. Every PRCnese person will ask you to be careful.

Saying that, thiefs look for EASY targets. Don't make yourself and easy target and take care of your stuff all the time. Make your valuable difficult to access and don't show them around.

Answer 5

It may be high relative to the rest of China, but it is going to be less than other countries.

I have heard from people in Hong Kong say that they will be robbed if they travel alone in Shenzhen, because the people there are poor and think everyone in Hong Kong is rich.

I have never had a problem, so it may be Chinese on Chinese crime.

Answer 6

Hi there, yes,  you are right. Shenzhen has a relatively high crime rate.

There were news in Hong Kong on how some tourists were kidnapped and missing for days and later were found dead in the garbage can with their organs missing.

Female tourists were also kidnapped and forced to work at the entertainment industry.

There are many pickpockets which target tourists. My friend's mother left her cell phone for 1 minute in the hospital and it was gone.

Going to Shenzhen is fine, just try to blend in and go with your friends if you don't look like local.

Answer 7

Chinese City shenzhen is not a high crime city it is loveable lots of entertainment lots of things to do. So take your money because it is expense over their. Hong Kong is different
