US warns citizens traveling to China to exercise caution
State department travel advisory cautions ‘arbitrary enforcement of local laws’ following detention of two Canadians in China
The US state department has renewed its warning for US citizens traveling in China to exercise increased caution due to “arbitrary enforcement of local laws” amid heightened diplomatic tensions over the arrest in Canada of a Chinese technology company executive.
The updated travel advisory maintains the warning at “Level 2” but also warns about extra security checks and increased police presence in the Xinjiang Uighur and Tibet Autonomous Regions.
