So what's to learn from this ?

Always bring with you some credit cards and some cash to please customs.

Also, don't store any important data on your electronic devices, store it online, and download it once you have reached your destination.

This should go into bitcoin travel to the usa 101.

"I was put into a small office when the five to six hours questioning began,did I have a credit card? How come I ony had $600? What the hell is bitcoin?"

So the real problem here is $600. Make sure you bring at least BTC 428 $6,000 when you visit U.S from China.
