China Warns Citizens Against US Travel Amid Rising Tariffs and Security Concerns

China Issues Travel Advisory for the US

The Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism has issued a travel risk alert, advising Chinese citizens to reconsider plans to visit the United States. The warning highlights the escalating tensions in China-US economic relations and concerns over the security situation within the US.

Increased Tariffs Escalate Tensions

In a swift response to the US's imposition of new import duties on Chinese goods, China has raised its tariffs on American products from 34% to a staggering 84%. This move comes as US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods, now at 104%, take effect today.

Travelers urged to exercise caution: The ministry's advisory stresses the importance of thoroughly assessing the risks before making any travel decisions to the US.
