I see you've never been to China. If you'd like to see video of people
practicing their religion in China, I have lots -- there are Confusian and
Budhist temples all over China. I've also shot at some truly impressive
(and very, very old) mosques. There are many Christian churches in China,
as well, but I have less interest in shooting them.
As for military bases, I wouldn't have ocassion to go near any, though I've
frequently shot video of soliders and policeman all over the country.
Usually, they smile and wave, unless they're marching in formation.
As for massive environmental damage, pollution is, almost certainly, the
biggest challenge facing China right now -- China is about where the west
was at the beginning of the industrial revolution and, just like the west,
they'll work they way out of most of it (unless they wind up with
administrations like the current one in the U.S. that refuses to acknowledge
that there is a problem and will sell the right to pollute to the highest
bidder).
As for "never returning," I've been visiting China regularly, more or less
yearly, since 1995. Because my wife is Chinese, I go all over the place --
I don't feel constrained to just stay in the touristy areas, and we have
family and friends throughout the country. I've shot lots of photos and
video there (you can see some at www.travelersvideo.com) and never had the
slightest trouble.
I'd recommend that you visit some time -- clearly, you have a very mistaken
impression of the country.
