Depends on the contaminants.
If the contaminants are human waste in the water, it would not affect the fruit.
But certain chemicals such as industrial wastes, it would send you straight to the hospital.
If the locals are eating them, then why not?

Though it's still warm in southern China, it's not the watermelon season. However, I have no problem eating watermelon bought in HK but not sure about Guangzhou.

I ate plenty of watermelon in HK and all sort of places in China and never had a problem.
