SENSITIVE TOPICS

In private, and once people know and trust you, they will talk freely. However, it is best to avoid discussing politics, especially the “three Ts”: Tibet, Taiwan, and Tiananmen Square. Tibet is seen as an integral part of China, and any foreigner discussing its independence is met with bewilderment. Mention of the second “T,” Taiwan, is equally futile; and few young people in China know what actually happened in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1989, when popular protests were brutally suppressed by the army. Any discussion of the event online, including using related keywords, has been banned for years. While you may take your cue from whoever you are talking to about which topics are off-limits, bear in mind that while a person might be outspoken on domestic issues, they may yet be embarrassed, and possibly defensive, if a foreigner were to do the same.
