Taiwan Warns of Growing Risks for Taiwanese Youth Traveling to China
Taiwan has warned of increasing risks for young Taiwanese traveling to China, highlighting potential scams, political influence efforts, and detention threats.

Luo also warned of criminal networks using deceptive tactics and China's expanding national security measures posing additional dangers.
