Dalian, China
Today, I’m a student in China, and I attended a welcoming party for the new students. It consisted of a police officer telling us what’s forbidden, the penalties if we do anything wrong and to avoid bars and nightclubs. FML

makes sense. it is china. also, you, and some other new students probably aren't from china, and needed to be briefed on local rules.

It would make sense if it were your orientation; but for a welcoming party?

Welcome to communist China.

Yep, welcome to China. My best friend was a chef there for several years, and the Chinese government read every one of our emails. I used to have to interpret what he was trying to say with 1/2 of the email edited out -- and it was totally innocuous things, usually English slang they didn't understand.

don't listen to them, I lived in Beijing for 9 months right out of high school, I went to bars and clubs all the time. as long as you don't mind people trying to rip you off because you are foreigner, you will be fine

I have also lived in China and though you will get warnings like that, you can disregard them fairly easily and go enjoy yourself in the bars and clubs.

That sounds really helpful. Unless of course you want to end up in a Chinese prison which would be awful and life ruining.

I know the feeling! Same exact thing happened at the International Student Guidance session a few weeks ago here in Japan!
