Crime is everywhere where there are Caucasians, Black people, Latinos, and Muslims of various kinds.
You forgot to add Russians. There is a lot of crime in Thailand related to the Russian mafia (I see mostly murders and kidnappings in the news). I don't know about the first three categories, but Muslims are different; Malaysia, Dubai, and Singapore didn't seem criminal to me (Singapore is not a Muslim country, but there are a lot of Muslims living there).

China
I wouldn't recommend it, unless you meant Hong Kong or Macau.

Taiwan
I want to go there myself, but there are visa issues.

"There's a lot of crime in Thailand related to the Russian mafia" - Yes, abroad, Russians sometimes cause trouble. But in Russia, as a rule, Russians are more likely to help (give food, money, let you stay overnight) than beat you up and rob you. But those same mountain people might just stab you on the street. So, Russians don't bother me. I don't see them as a threat.
"Malaysia, Dubai, and Singapore didn't seem criminal to me" - But try dressing in a style that doesn't match local tastes and smoking near a mosque... You'll soon see your own intestines. If there's anything left to see.
And I troll people in Orthodox churches and haven't been punched in the face even once!
"I wouldn't advise it, unless you meant Hong Kong or Macau." - I recently talked to a guy whose son lives in China and who visits him there quite often. I got the impression that it's safe everywhere in China, except for areas where Muslim diasporas have settled (there's plenty of that there too).

Based on his posts, the reason is clear.

They are more likely to help, but they can also easily beat you up and rob you.

People come there to worship. Sometimes even righteous people, but most often, of course, sinners who are tormented by their conscience, who think that maybe they will be forgiven... Such behavior is not welcome among these people, especially in a church.

Recently, I was talking to a guy whose son lives in China and who visits him there quite often. I got the impression that it is safe everywhere in China, with the exception of areas where Muslim diasporas have settled (there are plenty of them there).
Maybe he has nothing to compare it to except Russia.
In general, I looked at various rankings on the internet, and the safest city in Russia is considered to be... Grozny - the capital of Chechnya. :eek:

"Malaysia, Dubai, and Singapore didn't seem criminogenic to me" - But try dressing there in a style that doesn't match local tastes.
What do you mean? Without a hijab or something? Because my friends and I are planning a trip to Malaysia to go to an aqua park, and we've already picked out hijabs to match our swimsuits :(

I don't smoke and I have no intention of ruining my health for dubious experiments.
However, I can also tell you what will happen if you smoke in Singapore, not just near a mosque, but, for example, in a park.
Hopefully, the amount of the fine is clearly visible.

I believe that physically, it's safe. But still, I wouldn't recommend it.

I also heard in one stream that a guy, who, by the way, holds a rather high-ranking position, was fined $1000 in Singapore for littering. But for him, $1000 is nothing...

Yes. I don't think that will happen now.

I can tell you what the penalty for smoking in Singapore will be, not just near a mosque, but, for example, in a park.

What a load of nonsense. Any car in the background will emit more pollutants in a minute of idling than, for example, I will in an hour.

What a load of nonsense. Any car in the background will produce more pollution in a minute of engine operation than, for example, I do in an hour.
:D And do you know how much these cars cost?

Well, for example, I find it much more unpleasant when someone walks in front of me and smokes than when I walk near the roadway.

In short, I couldn't find any recent data, so I'll post some from four years ago (they don't seem to have changed much). Briefly, you'll have to pay approximately two and a half times the price of a personal car (the price itself plus 150% in taxes) plus the cost of the COE (Certificate of Entitlement).
Car buyers in Singapore must pay an excise duty and registration fee of 150% of the market value of the vehicle. They must also apply for a limited number of government permits, called COEs (Certificate of Entitlement – a permit program to reduce the number of private cars in the country), which allow them to use the car for 10 years. The cost of such a permit can cover the purchase of a new Porsche Boxster in the USA or a C-Class Mercedes in Hong Kong, where air pollution has reached record levels.

The Singapore Ministry of Transport has reduced the number of permits issued, holding auctions twice a month, bringing the price of the so-called open-category COE (for vehicles of any size) to 93,990 Singapore dollars (data from November 2012). After the COE expires, the vehicle owner must apply for a new 10-year permit, export the car, or scrap it. The number of COE quotas can be found on the website of the Singapore Ministry of Transport.

Data shows that air pollution levels in Singapore over the past five years have been 88% lower than the permissible pollution level set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. During the same period, air pollution levels in Hong Kong exceeded the permissible level by 12%.
