Uncle Gherk's advice for these situations, which is worth exactly what you paid for it:
Don't make trouble, and if someone else makes it, do whatever is necessary to exit the situation without trouble. If this means paying your fee and not being serviced, do it. Then publicize it and never return. Whatever you've paid for a session, it isn't worth being arrested for, being beaten up for, being harassed for, or being scared for. Feel free to say "no", but if a dispute arises, settle it in a way that will allow you to exit completely unscathed, without encountering forces beyond your control. Chalk it up to experience, and move on.
Above all, avoid situations that are likely to lead to trouble, such as going with touts off the street in unsafe cities (Shanghai, for example).
