彼が上海でアジア系のマフィアみたいのに襲われました。彼も元ヤンでいわせた人だったのですが、囲まれて太刀打ちできませんでした。体に傷を負いました。有り金も奪われました。
髪の毛も結構染めているから、目立つかもしれません。
治安はどうでしょうか?
私は日本にいて、上海はいったことがないので治安の面はわかりません。
どうしたら狙われずに済みますか?
教えて下さい。

上海も北京も皆とても親切ですね。人に寄りますが、基本的にとても判りやすい人たちが多いような気がします。こちら上海でも毎日お世話になっている部分が大きいですね。外から見れば、中国はいろいろ言われているような気がしますが、どの国と同じく中国も内部事情があることは変わりありません。
