I don't want to try when they have an authoritarian government.

Visiting somewhere means submitting yourself to their laws. With China's, that's not an option for me. Having restricted communication with home is a dealbreaker too. I would not let that stand so I'd have to break their laws.

It may be a beautiful country but it's not a beautiful place to be. At least not for someone like me.

Though having said that there are many places I refuse to travel to. The US is currently one as well for obvious reasons.
