Sounds believable that countries do these alerts for sometimes political reasons, but China is actually keeping people from leaving the country for unspecified reasons and is seizing people, even their own citizens.
- grecy 8y agoPlenty of countries do bad things to their own citizens that have absolutely no impact on foreign tourists who visit. I'm not saying it's OK, but it's hardly a reason to warn people not to go there.
- kyrra 8y agohttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/us/politics/china-canada-huawei.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/us/politics/china-canada-... China has been holding 3 Canadian's, likely in retaliation to the CFO of Huawei being held. So it may seem warranted here?
- acct1771 8y agoThe reason why those seizures are happening is why this "escalatory" bulletin is newsworthy. This is another bullet point in an escalation trend we've been seeing between the West and China, mostly surrounding infrastructure and political pressure/flurries of arrests and high profile detainments, in both regions.
- echevil 8y agoChina is issuing the same warning to Chinese citizens traveling to US
- EpicEng 8y agoAnd which Chinese citizens are we holding hostage in retaliation for an exec being jailed?
- taobility 8y agoChina's warning is related with US randomly violence, gun shooting, robbery etc (if you understand Chinese: http://www.china-embassy.org/chn/lszj/zytz/t1597786.htm http://www.china-embassy.org/chn/lszj/zytz/t1597786.htm). US and China are very different countries, like in China, the downtown of metropolis is very safe at night, but in US is totally different. And also, gun shooting in US is really normal, but extremely rare in China.
- fspeech 8y agoThis reads like an faq for people coming to US. First item reminds people to buy travel/health insurance. Second item warns against going out alone in late night. Etc. I didn't see anything political in it.
- taobility 8y agoBut VOA think that's not normal, and it's a political signal. Do you believe? https://www.voachinese.com/a/news-us-china-travel-20180703/4464757.html https://www.voachinese.com/a/news-us-china-travel-20180703/4...
