China has many security guards in uniforms similar to the police, ensuring pedestrian safety. If you see green uniforms, they’re People’s Armed Police, focused on government security. China isn't as strict as it may seem; you happened to visit a central government area. In other areas, it’s more relaxed-even more so than Europe sometimes, like street drinking, which is fined here in the Netherlands.
Beijing is the political center, so security checks and monitoring are relatively strict, so be mentally prepared.Most of the surveillance cameras on the streets are for monitoring traffic violations. These cameras are used to capture instances of speeding, illegal lane changes, honking, etc. In the end, I can only say that we are all ordinary people; no one is really paying attention to what we are doing. All these measures are in place to prevent bad things from happening, and I think that's a good thing.In fact, it is rare to see police officers in China. The uniformed personnel you generally see on the streets are usually security guards, traffic coordinators, and auxiliary police. They are not police officers.When you travel to other countries, you also hope that your belongings will not be stolen. I saw on the YT that many tourists in Rome and Paris had their wallets and luggage stolen, causing huge losses.surveillance in London exceeds that in BEIJING, but the security in London is very bad.Surveillance is to protect law-abiding citizens, only thieves are afraid of surveillance.
Are you sure you saw a lot of police or were some security guards? I saw a few travel vloggers point out "police" but they were actually just security guards. If you see the Chinese characters 警察 then they are the police. They would usually be wearing well fitting uniforms and have a more form look. Then there are what is called 城管 (Chengguan) who are "Urban Management and Law Enforcement". They're not really police but wear police like uniforms. They don't solve crimes or arrest people but they can give out fines for infringements. Next are the security guards 保安 who are just hired by companies etc and obviously aren't police.
Chang'an Avenue is heavily patrolled by police as it is home to many of China's central government institutions.The president's residence is located over there.
Good man Niall. Another great video. Every big city in the world is covered with cameras. They say London is the most watched city via cameras. Beijing looks impressive. That hotel is for nothing. Great choice to go with chocolate. You can't go wrong with chocolate.
The Snack you tried is called DONKEY ROLLING (rolls) ,which is a traditional Old Peking delicacy /snack. It’s made of sticky rice with red bean paste in the middle and sprinkled with soybean flour,brown sugar (mixture ) on the outside
Try Bullet Trains, On Time, Singapore hv more Cctv density, London also, India also, bur Sg n China super safe n clean, India not really, London sometimes pickpocket.
Beijing has a population of more than 23 million + 9 million tourists per day, while Beijing has only about 51,000 police forces spread over 16,000 square kilometers, equivalent to 155 Paris. So a lot of what you see are security guards hired by companies... Enjoy your stay...😊
Some of these places here, even I've known China quite well and have travelled there a few times, didn't know they exist. th-cam.com/users/shortsnKzewOTz298 So I've to say there are a lot of things I thought I know, but I don't until I travel.

Have western media ever stopped lying once before? lol
There are still people who don't belive a word Mainstream Media tells them... Unless Its about China then every word must be true
Welcome to Beijing, I hope you have fun, and I hope you can tell us your true feelings.
🎉

We in the east gave up on western media long long time ago 😂
Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chengdu are more lively cities in my personal opinion. Beijing is kinda boring.
