Yeah. Avoid travelling there if you can. Push back if work tries to send you there.

  Things can always happen at borders, some borders more than others but more than say traveling within a country in general. It's a risk equation but maybe not totally irrational to not travel internationally either personally or for work. It's not a risk equation I would solve that way in general but I could understand if people did, especially if they were of a nationality/ethnicity/profession/celebrity/etc. they felt put them at particular risk. I'm in the US and I'm not in a big hurry to get a new Chinese or Russian visa.

    Indeed, many Americans probably feel unsafe visiting Russia or China in the same way that a lot of citizens of the modern world are feeling increasingly unsafe visiting the U.S. The U.S. is quickly devolving into one of those Travel Advisory countries.

      I’m not sure with China it’s so much feeling unsafe for me as the visa is a headache, it’s an unpredictable geopolitical situation, and I’ve been there a few times though of course always more to do. Russia has always been a bit sketchy in various ways although I did take one trip there. Of course, I’ve known someone turned back from the UK too and I’m sure it’s happened in every country for various reasons.

        This seems like downplaying the situation. No-one is checking your phone on the way to Germany, France or even Slovakia.
