Comforting Snippet

If you are arrested in China, the U.S. Embassy is a friend indeed.
In cases of lengthy incarceration, we visit American prisoners at least every 30 to 60 days to ensure that American citizens receive treatment no worse than that accorded citizens of the PRC. -- U.S. Consulate Website
Well! No worries, then.

Really, what's the worse that could happen in 30 to 60 days?

So you have a month or two of torture or maybe a little starvation. No biggie.

Hey, I don't care. I'm not going to China anytime soon.

Well, it's nice to know that when your organs are being removed for a transplant that the Embassy's right behind you.
