My company gives burner phones and laptops for employees and salespeople traveling to countries with agressive borders. USA is on the list, together with Israel, Iran and a few others I can't remember now.

- buyucu 2y agoChina is not on the list. We never had any difficulty or problem in the Chinese border.
- fragmede 2y agofascinating! Where are you from? I'm in the US and for employees going into China, best practice has been to issue them burner phones and laptops for the trip for decades at this point.
- aftbit 2y agoOh interesting. They were on our list (US company). In fact, our official guidance suggested not bringing work hardware to China at all.
- AstralStorm 2y agoThat's mostly not due to their border security services but industrial espionage, theft and maybe special security.
- stackedinserter 2y agoWhat kind of business is this, if US border is danger but Chinese is not?
- buyucu 2y agoI've been to Shanghai multiple times. Every time the border check was quick, efficient and uneventful. Unlike JFK where it's a 2h wait almost every time wiht 'random' extra security.
- stackedinserter 2y agoIt doesn't answer my question.
- rurban 2y agoChina and Turkey were previously on our list. Also Turkmenistan and a lot of African countries. China not anymore. You can now easily travel there without visa. Turkey is still too aggressive and risky, but at least you don't have to wait 6 hrs at their border anymore.
