China Tightens Exit Restrictions on National Security Grounds
Since Tuesday, new rules allow Chinese authorities to prevent a citizen from leaving the country if deemed a threat to national, industrial or technological security, according to RFI.
China has tightened conditions for leaving its territory since Tuesday, September 15, reports RFI. New rules now allow authorities to prevent a citizen from traveling abroad if suspected of threatening the country's national security.
According to the same source, these provisions also extend to cases where foreign travel would be perceived as a risk to China's industrial or technological security.
According to RFI, this crackdown is aimed notably at preventing the exodus of talent and expertise deemed strategic by Chinese authorities.
The text cited by RFI does not detail the precise implementation procedures for the new restrictions or the categories of people or professional sectors specifically affected.
