State Department warns Americans against traveling to China over 'risk of wrongful detentions'

The U.S. State Department has issued a fresh travel warning advising Americans against heading to China over selective enforcement of local laws and the "risk of wrongful detentions."

The warning comes nearly two months after China sentenced a 78-year-old U.S. citizen to life in prison over spying charges.

"The People’s Republic of China (PRC) government arbitrarily enforces local laws, including issuing exit bans on U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries, without fair and transparent process under the law," the State Department says.

I went to Shanghai and Zhangjiagang in early 2001 for ten days on a business trip.

I’m glad I did, because I have no intention of ever going back. I would have liked to have seen the Great Wall and Beijing, but not that badly. It’s not worth it.

I wonder why they have not warned Americans to stay the hell out of Washington DC for the same reason.

No. Have you been to Shanghai? 😏

I even managed to avoid using those holes in the floor while working the better part of nine years in the Middle East.

Eat any dog?

No, but it was on the menu at a few of the restaurants we went to, as were other disgusting things. Our Chinese counterparts (fellow employees of the global, U.S.-headquartered corporation we worked for) told us with straight faces that they understood westerners couldn’t eat things like that because our digestive systems weren’t used to it.

LOL - my longtime BFF from our high school days arrived in Paris yesterday. She said it’s quiet where she is - not far from Luxembourg Station. She hasn’t ventured out to any other parts of town, though.
