Don't worry about it.
I don't think the cops give a sh*t about anything in China except who next to extort or how much more they can embezzle from the government before getting popped for it.
Oh, also they probably spend a lot of time trying to figure out whether they should trade in their 2003 black Audi with tinted windows for a 2005 or 2006 black Audi with tinted windows.

I pm'ed the OP so this post is just for general reference. Bottom line: I don't partake myself, but would like to point out that the execution thing doesn't pose a serious risk to foreign visitors that aren't morons (I would not post such on the internet without a substantial amount of data under my belt because I value all of your lives).

I mentioned capital punishment because it is real and I think it indicates the very different views in China and Amsterdam. I felt the OP seemed totally unaware of that. But your added information is useful. I still would VERY much advise against it.

This may go down as one of the most ridiculous things I have seen posted on Flyer Talk. Hey why don't you pop over to Singapore and bring some weed with you. I haven't seen a good canning in a long time.
If you really aren't a troll, please don't do it.

The whole idea of enjoying the joint is the enjoyment part. I don't know how you could do that when you would have serious concerns about facing prison time in China. Have some beer there and the joints back here.

Talk about serious downside risk. A Chinese jail has got to be pretty low on the human rights scale. But they probably wouldn't want to feed you, so billing your family for the bullet may not be that far off after all.
