China's train security is stricter than TSA
🇨🇳 We want to take the high speed train in China
The problem is we bought this kitchen knife in Japan (not the smartest decision of my life), which was fine to fly into China with btw, but you can't take it in your luggage in the subway or trains as they're hyper strict
You can't even have a mini scissor in your suitcase!
What's worse is China leaves you with no options here, because you can also not really ship it domestically, unless you are a Chinese business yourself and it's a commercial shipment and then you still have to do a lot of negotiation in Chinese
I wonder how Chinese do this, they just buy mini scissors and nail clippers again in every city they go by high speed train?
If you thought TSA security was strict you have not experienced China's train security 😄👌
P.S. I get the rules, you just gotta make sure there's then an alternative to get your things to the next city in another way
