China warns citizens against travelling to US

India TV News  

In an unusual move, China on Tuesday issued a travel alert for its citizens visiting the US, warning them of harassment and public security issues in the country as bilateral ties touched a new low amid a spiralling trade war. China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Tuesday issued the travel alert for Chinese tourists travelling to the United States which could hit the American travel industry badly. Last year, the number of Chinese tourists visiting the US fell for the first time in 15 years, after more than a decade of rapid growth, amid the trade friction between the two countries. Defending the travel alert, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a media briefing here that "China made this decision in response to current circumstances". Asked whether the measure which could hit US travel industry is part of the escalating trade war between the two countries, Geng said, "Chinese people travelling to US encountered various difficulties during the entry and after entry.
