The woman, who was actually so nice that I almost felt bad giving her a hard time (almost), told me that they were not simply harassing (my word) foreigners, but also Chinese. She even showed me the clipboard filled with Chinese residents’ names to prove the point. To me, it seems worse that PSB people are showing up at the apartments of local people. At least I’m not a Chinese citizen. For Chinese people, they have register in their own country.

I noticed that the woman had made a note on her clipboard and I asked to see it. She had written “他不满意中国” (“he is  unsatisfied with China.”) I pointed out that I never said I was “unsatisfied with China” and rather that I liked China but thought that this policy was not ideal. Further I said I was fully compliant with all the rules and regulations of my host country and didn’t appreciate being told to register and re-register when I was clearly acting lawfully. She crossed out the unsatisfied part and agreed with me that I had been misquoted.

I look forward to another visit sometime this week. If my posts stop going up I guess you’ll know why.
