美国将“不当拘押”警示加入赴华旅行建议
US adds ‘wrongful detention’ warning for Americans travelling to China
美国国务院已在中国旅行建议中新增“不当拘押”(D)风险标识,提醒赴中国大陆的美国人警惕依据中国法律被任意拘押。该建议仍维持 Level 2“提高警惕”级别,并指出当地法律任意执行、缺乏公平透明法律程序的出境禁令及不当拘押风险。
The US State Department has added a “wrongful detention” warning to its travel advisory for China, alerting Americans to the risk of being detained arbitrarily under Chinese law.
On Monday, the official China travel advisory added the “D” risk indicator for wrongful detention, while maintaining the country’s overall advisory level at Level 2, or “Exercise Increased Caution”.
The advisory urges Americans travelling to mainland China to exercise caution due to the “arbitrary enforcement of local laws, the use of exit bans without a fair and transparent process under the law, and the risk of wrongful detention”.
The move comes as Washington and Beijing seek to maintain an improving bilateral relationship following a warm welcome for Chinese President Xi Jinping by US President Donald Trump during the September visit to Washington. The two leaders are expected to meet twice more this year.
