This means keeping an eye on your belongings, particularly around tourist sites and busy places, and only used licensed and metered taxis &#8211; disputes over taxi fares can occur, so always insist on paying the metered fare and ask for a receipt with the taxi number on it. And always\u00a0make sure someone knows where you are and try to take a note of the taxi\u2019s number.<\/p>\n<p>Beware of &#8216;tea-tasting&#8217; scams whereby you&#8217;re invited to visit a bar and then charged an extortionate fee before you can leave, sometimes with the threat of violence.<\/p>\n<p>As a business owner, you should always be aware of contract laws in China, and always take legal advice before signing anything &#8211; contracts entered into in the United Kingdom are not always enforced by Chinese courts.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re involved in or connected to a business and\/or civil dispute, the Chinese authorities may stop you from leaving China, via a travel ban, until the matter is resolved.
