The U.S. State Department updated its travel alert levels for China and Hong Kong on Monday (14th), stating that in view of the new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic and arbitrary law enforcement, it is recommended that citizens "reconsider" (Reconsider Travel) travel.
The U.S. State Department updated its travel warning for Hong Kong in June this year and maintained it at level 2 of "Exercise increased caution". This time it has been raised to level 3 "Reconsideration".
The warning mentions that since the implementation of the "Hong Kong National Security Law", the Chinese government unilaterally and arbitrarily exercises police and national security powers in Hong Kong, which covers non-Hong Kong residents or organizations outside Hong Kong who have publicly criticized China. Americans are at increased risk of arrest, detention, deportation, and prosecution.
Mainland China has been lowered from the original level 4 "Do Not Travel" (Do Not Travel) to level 3. The U.S. State Department said that the Chinese epidemic has improved and the level has been lowered, but the Chinese government will arbitrarily enforce the law, thereby making citizens of the United States and other countries Cannot leave the country or be detained.
