China Enforces New Travel Restrictions Over Technology and Security Concerns
China has implemented new exit and entry regulations allowing authorities to restrict travel for citizens deemed threats to national industrial or technological security. These rules, effective September 15, target violations of export controls and technology import-export laws, with travel bans ranging from six months to three years. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council warned its citizens of potential risks under these rules, urging caution but maintaining the current travel alert level. The measures reflect China's efforts to protect sensitive technology and state secrets amid growing international competition.
