Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the United States of America - Washington, DC
As US-China trade tensions continue, on Tuesday the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a travel warning regarding harassment of Chinese visitors by US law enforcement, including intrusive interviews and interrogations. And on the same day, the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a travel alert for frequent shootings, robberies and thefts in the USA.
Meanwhile, people in China are complaining about being denied US visas.
Inbound travel to the USA from China was down by more than 5% year-on-year in 2018.
How will this play out - in 2019, and in the long term? Stay tuned.
