The US State Department is urging American to reconsider travel to China.
It cites ‘arbitrary law enforcement’ and the ‘risk of wrongful detentions.’
“China arbitrarily enforces local laws, including issuing exit bans on US citizens without fair and transparent process,” the advisory said.
It didn’t mention any specific cases although a US citizen was jailed to life on spying charges recently.
It also says US citizens detained could be denied access to US consular services.
The US also issued similar travel advisories for Hong Kong and Macau.
It comes as China slapped restrictions on the export of materials required to make semiconductors.
