South Africa is rapidly turning into a full feudal warzone. My younger cousin used to own a Chinese restaurant there but the growing lawlessness made him pull out of there in 2016. He wanted to leave much earlier but he had been having some trouble getting a Chinese visa for his Irish wife so they could go back to Shanghai together. She is from rural Ireland, then moved to South Africa with her family. The PRC Embassy was hesitant at first, thinking he was just trying to get a "amorous pass" just to get her into China. But he argued with them and showed them that she is actually his wife and they are legitimately married, so they relented. I told him to apply to come to the USA while all of this was going on but he wanted to go back to the flat on Jingqiao Road in Pudong that my aunt owns. (12th floor. Awesome view of the massive Pudong and Puxi skyline to the east and the sprawl of the Shanghai-Huangpu Power Station to the west with it's LED lit cooling towers and high voltage trunks branching off. From west to east runs the Pudong Maglev, with trains skimming past at 300 miles per hour every hour) They are in Shanghai and been there ever since. He says that the gangs in South Africa had been outright murdering people for nothing but amusement and he feared for his white wife far more than for himself. Never was a gun person but after a few incidents he witnessed, he illegally got his hands on a QBZ-95, a Chinese battle rifle which he was thoroughly surprised to find in SA, and he knew how to operate that thing intimately because he had always went to the Shanghai Municipal range to rent guns to shoot for fun before moving to SA to start his business. In China, just like South Korea, licensed gun owners are only allowed to keep their guns at a regional shooting range or police station and can only be accessed by going to the premises and checking it out of storage. But in Johannesburg, he had the QBZ fully charged and ready to go at any time, concealed in a fold-out table compartment. The 5.8x42mm PLA cartridge was designed to bridge the gap between 5.56 and 7.62 and 30 rounds in the mag was nothing to frown at if he had ever needed it.
