The police in China are a mixture of annoying, useless and respectfully polite.
I regularly get pulled over on my e-bike for driving outside the bike lane, until I point out the many cars illegally parked IN the bike lane which give me no option. If they start asking for my I.D. or e-bike registration I just say, "I don't understand" (in broken Chinese) until they give up and wave me on! They are too polite/lazy to persist.

Last week I was told to "be in my house" all Friday morning so that the Foreign Affairs police could check my passport and registration. I waited. They failed to show up. No text, no explanation. No surprise.
