Travellers to places like China, Hong Kong, Russia, Belarus, Turkey, Iran, etc, should sign legally binding mandatory declarations by which their governments are freed from every responsibility to embark on political and other rescue measures in case they are being taken by these regimes as hostage. Also, all travelling routes shoul be reserearched and seriously checked.

If people want to take risks, let them, its their free right. But they should face the risk and consequences all by themselves, not having the state needing to rescue them from their egoism or stupidity.

Too many people are tool good-hearted and cannot imagine how grim and unfair the world can be.

I did some stupid travelling things myself back in the years, too. Things I now shake my head over. Heck, have we been naive on occaisons, having just been lucky where we seriously thought we were more clever than "them". Some places at no cost I would go back to. Turkey. Iran.
