I have just returned from 6 months in China and the comment about hotels is certainly true. I have been caught out with not pre-booking a hotel, but got around it by having a local friend book me in under her I D card. I found the hotel every bit as good as higher rated hotels so have stayed there several times now when I visit this friend's city.
Another particular problem that I feel could have been included in this article, is that of internet scams, particularly relating to women either chasing a husband or looking for money.
The comment in the article about "if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't" certainly applies here. If you want to play along with them, because it may be novel, or interesting, then ok, but be prepared to pull out when you feel threatened.
