Answer to One China Travel Question
|
| | Q: Will I have any trouble taking my laptop into Guangzhou, China?
| | A: You should not experience problems bringing your laptop computer into China. If you have more than one such devises (more than one computer, more than one camera, etc.), the customs may doubt they're for your personal use only and they may consider the extras as gifts or imports; other than that, you're all right. Often the customs officials don't even examine your luggage.
In this connection, there are some new regulations on the amount of publications, either print or electronic, that a traveler can bring into China (link here). The primary concern of the Chinese government in this regard is largely political – the officials are worried about the smuggling and distribution of materials that they consider subversive politically (or morally, in the case of porn).
