they likely have the capability to trivially decrypt TLS
Whoa. Anywhere to read more about this? Had not been paying close attention, didn’t realise that was so starkly the case.

People posting here don't realize that CN gov IDs and allows certain traffic to get rerouted through a certain VLAN so they can do DPI and record every packet through a beefy expensive tap device to analyze the telemetry and build a case against you. If they so choose.
Don't bring in any tech, don't access your personal net back home, don't expect any level of actual privacy or good intentions. Just do your business and keep your digital digital persona minimal while there.

Except they didn’t say they were skeptical, and they even asked for more information. I don’t know why you got hostile in your reply to them. Because they didn’t just accept what you said as truth without needing sources?

I like skepticism, it's healthy. I like it when everyone questions and doubts in order to find the truth. It can go too far sometimes and you get anti-vax morons and flat-earth dipshits, so there's a level of curiosity that, once it becomes unhealthy or unusual, should be punished.

Case against you for doing what exactly? Just don’t break the law. It’s not hard.

Extremely privileged of you to think that one can simply live a routine life thinking they are safe, while immigrants in the US aren't breaking the law and still getting rounded up into concentration camps.

I actually see China and the USA as the same level now. Difference is that the USA doesn’t have cool railway infrastructure and whatever the heck is going on in Chongqing.

Or would be a useful hostage to trade for a Chinese person held in OP’s country.

Fair enough to be fair. I did make sure the passport I was using to enter China was that of a country with no political drama happening. It did allow visa free entry though as well, so that was nice.
