I'm curious what Chinese subways look like in the poorest cities. Hell, I wonder what it looks like in Xinjiang since they had terror attacks in the past and everyone in the west is claiming it's 1984 Holocaust 2 over there now
My aunt went to 乌鲁木齐 last year and said it's a regular metal detector, and you put luggage or large bags through a scanner like a pre-9/11 airport or a regular US high school. In Wuhan where I've been the most, your bags go through a scanner that's either automated or just manned by someone not paying attention.
