After China's "Foreign Relations Law" and the revised "Anti-Espionage Law" took effect on July 1, 2023, the US government immediately classified China as a Level 3 travel alert area, advising US citizens to "reconsider going there," only second to the highest level of "do not travel," in order to avoid the risk of arbitrary law enforcement, exit bans, and wrongful detention by Chinese authorities.
The content of the travel alert issued by the US points out that the Chinese government "arbitrarily enforces local laws, including issuing exit bans to US and other foreign citizens without executing fair and transparent procedures according to the law." "US citizens traveling or residing in China may be detained and unable to access US consular services or information related to alleged crimes."
