Advice:
Use a combination of two locks, a U lock and a chain lock. The U lock through one wheel to the frame while the chain lock to the other end of the bike and through a solid object/ground anchor. [...]
U can find all sizes of Xena alarm 110dB disk locks on Jiaoji road at the big shop close from Jiaotong rd, they don't come cheap but they're just dope, especially if u live near enough from ur bike to hear the 110dB alarm.

Regarding ur advice, damn right, regarding ur link, excellent read, tips about gated garages and clutch lever are awesome.

I would add for China:

1: Get a GPS, and regular alarm too, real cheap here..

2: Don't park ur bike where some guys can just raise it up into a truck, then all locks are worthless, park it so there's a physical barrier between ur bike and the street.

3: Don't put any lock (chain, braided cable, U-lock) at ground level, like everyone does here in China, attached drawing to explain why if u do, lock quality don't matter, u still should lock it to the environment though..

4: For home, if u can, feel like it, and have a little garden at least, the ultimate protection against thieves is and has always been a big black dog..
