In the context of recent events, heightened tensions between the United States and China are influencing travel policy and perception. After the United States imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese goods and China retaliated with tariffs of up to 125%, the Chinese government responded by issuing travel advisories for its citizens about the safety and advisability of visiting the United States. China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism explicitly urged citizens to “fully assess the risks of traveling” to the U.S., referencing both the deteriorating trade relationship and concerns about the security situation in America. The Chinese Ministry of Education has issued a similar caution to students considering study in the United States, especially following new state laws impacting academic partnerships between U.S. and Chinese institutions.
For those traveling to China, several other safety and health considerations are necessary. The Government of Canada’s travel advisory echoes the call for a high degree of caution due to the risk of severe penalties for even non-violent acts, the possibility of being subject to exit bans, and environmental hazards. The typhoon and monsoon season from April to October brings increased risk of severe weather, flooding, and landslides, especially in southern and eastern China and regions near the Yangtze River. During extreme weather, travel can be disrupted, and visitors may need to adjust plans at short notice based on local authorities’ instructions. Air pollution is another significant concern, with cities maintaining alert systems that may lead to temporary closures of schools and public events. Travelers should monitor pollution levels, limit outdoor activities as necessary, and follow official advice during severe air quality episodes.
Recent years have seen strict public health responses due to COVID-19. While China has largely contained the outbreak, travelers are still subject to health monitoring and may need to register on local apps or provide testing certificates if coming from high-risk areas. Quarantine measures may also apply depending on the traveler’s origin.
China Airlines advises that from March 1, 2025, power banks and spare lithium batteries cannot be used or charged during flights, and travelers should be cautious of scams through phone or email communications.
Despite these risks, most visits occur without serious incident, although mundane threats such as traffic accidents, pre-existing health issues, and occasional outbreaks of communicable diseases remain. Enhanced infrastructure and emergency preparedness have improved responses to natural disasters, but awareness and preparation are necessary, especially for those planning to travel during peak typhoon or pollution seasons.
In summary, anyone considering travel to China in April 2025 should stay informed on rapidly changing advisories, respect all local laws scrupulously, monitor environmental warnings, and be prepared for possible disruptions or scrutiny. Travel remains viable but calls for caution, flexibility, and attentiveness to developments both within China and in the broader international context.
