What is a good (legal) form of self defense in China
Going to China next week, and have been reading a lot of stuff on bringing pepper spray, it seems like it is illegal, but you would probably only get into trouble if you actually used it. But if I'm using it, I don't think I would have any issue dealing with the repercussions
So is pepper spray a good option to bring, or are there alternatives that are just as effective as a self defense mechanism, that you wouldn't get in trouble for using?
Yes - I understand that China is a "Fairly Safe" place. However, I would still like to know what my options are.

If you want to carry something then you need to be creative. You could carry one of the tactical pens out there . Smith and Wesson has a pen for $30 which is made of6076 T6 aircraft aluminum. There is a screw on cap with a pointed end (but not sharpened so it is hard to think of as “a weapon”) I f you want to go cheaper get a G2 pen which goes for about a dollar. A navy this is what a Nave interagator carried at Guantanamo Bay. Since it has a legitimate purpose then no one will take it away. I was reading on leathermans web and they had a list of multi-tools that are legal. Asia has a long history of unconventional weapons. For example a Tom fa (sp) which is a club with a handle on the side was actually used fir harvesting grain.
