To add my 0.2p's worth, China is somewhere I've always fancied going, but can't seem to get past it's Government's issues with Tibet / the Dalai Lama. I'm sure the people are fantastically welcoming, and I've been fascinated by its culture for years.
I read a book by a journalist travelling across China on Route 312. He went to Tibet and most of the locals welcomed all the investment by China. They have hard lives and see progress creating opportunities for their kids so they won't have as hard a life. It's easy to overlook this when you start looking at situations through the lens of ideology.
