You get an entirely different impression.

Of the 15 most populous cities in America, the number of murders actually fell in 11 of those 15 during the first 9 months of this year compared to the same period last year.
Here's my foolproof strategy for dealing with hotels that don't want to take foreigners: I don't.
Step 1:
Go on Ctrip, search for hotels and check the box for "Accept Foreign Guests" filter.
Step 2:
Book a hotel.

3. You can also call ahead and confirm.
I've still been able to book places that weren't tagged as "Accepts Foreign Guests" by calling. Sometimes they just skip that setting in Ctrip.
As long as it doesn't explicitly say: "only for locals".

This has been the case for many years. I wouldn't assess whether it's changing for better or worse with anecdotes.
I maintain the same position I've had every time this came up before on Twitter: unless you're brand new to China, you should know and be able to plan around it.

Mom's bhakti is having a reconfiguration crisis.
"They have arrested #ShahFaesal. Pakistan agents are in IAS also these days."

@Shehla_Rashid I think mom expects the "tukde tukde gang" from TV to be like Dawood Gang, Chhota Rajan gang, etc. (perils of being a bambaiiya?)
Mom, anyone who disagrees with govt is tukde-tukde gang.
"But they arrest tukde-tukde gang"
Me: Welcome to new India. Hope you enjoy your flight.

@Shehla_Rashid She be like "but what if they arrest you?"
I be like same as what happens to anyone who gets arrested. Life will get disrupted.
"What about me?"
You can find some nice RSS ashram for old people.
"What about kid?"
Raghu will take him to the new Switzerland - Tamil Nadu :p

This is now a "you're not agreeing with me enough in the way I want" arguments, and it's non-falsifiable. If the GOP majority works with a Dem president to get deficits down, they love deficits. If they run deficits, they love deficits. Well, okay. /1
My point is that under Trump they're no longer even *nominally* opposed to deficits, and that *is* new. Yes, I get it @JoshuaMound, politics is full of hypocrites who hate any spending but the spending they like. Duh. /2
@JoshuaMound But you give way too much credit to this as a clever strategy (yes, #eyeroll I saw the link) and not enough to the reality that there were Republicans who did care about deficits more than as a device. Not everything has always been about owning the libs. /2
