As I have coworkers travelling to China tomorrow, I'd like to find something on the State Dept website but seem unable to find anything current.

Do you or anyone have the official announcement from State?

Anyone traveling to China should make a point to register with the consulate when they get to China.

This will get into the notification system whereby Consulate Wardens assigned to each city will be able to get information to U.S. citizens living in China.

In the event something happens or a notice like this goes out, it will get to you. If local assistance is needed, the consulate warden will know where to find you.

Also very important, anyone traveling to China needs overseas medical insurance and evacuation insurance. Your U.S. policy will not cover you overseas in most instances.

There are many Western run medical care facilities in China. You should know where those are. If you become sick or injured, they can help you get the care you need.

Always carry a minimun of US $1,000 cash when in China. I see too many people carrying what amounts to less than $50. Stupid. If you need an emergency cab ride, you better have cash.

FReepmail me if you need more information. Let me know what city your co-workers are going to and I will get you the consulate contact information and western medical facitily contact information in that city.
