With new exit ban law in China, should Canadians rethink visiting?

New travel restrictions for citizens and foreigners came into effect in China on Tuesday, including potential exit bans for those who run afoul of Chinese regulations.

“The law provides for a host of conditions under which authorities could restrict your ability to leave the country,” Henry Gao, a law professor at Singapore Management University, told CTV’s Your Morning on Tuesday.

“After this law comes into effect, China is becoming ‘Hotel California’ – you can try to check out, but you might never be able to leave.”


I doubt visiting Canada will be safe for Canadians soon given Carney’s ChiCom security MOU.
