One has to be careful when flying. Your flight's origin or destination might not be in China, and may not even be through Chinese airspace, but if there is an in-flight emergency, an airport in China might be the closest landing spot.

Occasionally, they'll "stage" an in-flight emergency, forcing a landing in China and arrest you.

The US invented it.
