China Travel Warning

[MMDown Under]

Govt warns Australians could face arbitrary detention in China.

Sounds serious!  Not a way to make friends!  Lucky we can't travel overseas at present.

Dupe.

Scary thought.

There are a number of places around the World that are now off my travel radar- Egypt, Turkey and now Hong Kong. Of course there are also a myriad of other places that were never ever on our radar . We have been lucky to get to see some that we would no longer worry about - eg fortunate to see the divers of Acapulco and the Forbidden City of Beijing.

My biggest disappointment in Acapulco was not going to see the divers and not going on a ship's tour where passengers saw John Wayne.  We chose to go to local entertainment where everyone was having a ball, except us because we didn't know the language.  Lesson learnt that sometimes it pays to go on the expensive ship's tour!

Despite this, I loved Acapulco and sat on deck soaking up the atmosphere until 4 am, when the ship left port.

I see the US has given it citizens the same warning yesterday.

 

A interesting thing I read is the Chinese Communist Party May be suing members  of The Australian-China think tank  personally for defamation in Australian court’s over claims of human rights violations.

And also a similar thing in Germany.
 

 I’ll see if I can find a link.
