Yeah that makes sense, thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I guess my concerns were that some internal political tensions would boil over and I’d get caught up in the middle, or that something would happen with Taiwan and I’d get stuck. But the internal tensions seem to have subsided since the zero covid policy was relaxed, and the Taiwan stuff seems very long term. As you say, millions visit without a problem, and there are other things to worry about.

I figured I was over indexing but it’s nice to hear it directly from someone who knows. Thanks!

It’s always a potential that this happens. Millions of people come and go peacefully because it’s not actively happening. You can’t measure the risk by observing present data. But you have to make a decision as to what you risk tolerance is and how likely you think something like this is in the future.
