In one of them you are literally a prisoner. In the other you still have options.
More like: "I would like to see my mother again, but she is not allowed in the country. Therefore, I will go to her instead, or we will meet in Canada or some other country we are both allowed in. That is quite inconvenient."
- peterwwillis 7y agoThey literally aren't prisoners in China, they just can't leave the country. They're free to do as they please in-country. You could easily say that's just an inconvenience too. But that means some people can't go back to their lives in the US, just like some people blocked by the US travel ban can't continue their lives as before. There are multiple ways that both exit and entry bans affect people in significant ways, and both for political reasons.
