(UTV|COLOMBO) – China has warned its citizens to “fully assess the risks” of travelling to the US given recent “shootings”, as tensions between the superpowers rise.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism warned of threats such as robbery and gun violence, state media said.
China’s foreign ministry also said US law enforcement agencies have been “harassing” its citizens with interrogation.
It comes amid a power struggle between the China and the US over trade.
The US reignited the trade war with tariff hikes in May, and broadened the conflict by blacklisting Chinese tech giant Huawei.
