I think it’s time for the US government to issue travel advisories stating it is dangerous for US citizens and passport holders to visit China or Chinese territories.

Also, do like Japan and offer tax credits or outright financial assistance for moving offices and production out of China and back to the US or friendly territory.

Already done on June 5th - from the State Department web site:

Exercise increased caution in the PRC due to arbitrary enforcement of local laws for purposes other than maintaining law and order, including the use of exit bans.

Country Summary: The PRC government has asserted broad authority to prohibit U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries from leaving the PRC by using “exit bans,” sometimes keeping them in the PRC for years. The PRC government uses exit bans:

• to compel individuals to participate in PRC government investigations,

• to pressure family members to return to the PRC from abroad, and

• to aid PRC authorities in resolving civil disputes in favor of PRC national parties.

In most cases, U.S. citizens only become aware of their exit ban when they attempt to depart the PRC, and there is no reliable mechanism or legal process to find out how long the ban might continue or to contest it.

U.S. citizens may be detained without access to U.S. consular services or information about their alleged crime. U.S. citizens may be subjected to prolonged interrogations and extended detention for reasons related to “state security.” Security personnel may detain and/or deport U.S. citizens for sending private electronic messages critical of the PRC government.
