China issued a warning Tuesday to its citizens cautioning against travel to the United States for work, school or leisure due to alleged harassment from police officers and a rise in violence.
According to the South China Morning Post, the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a new safety warning for Chinese travelers and companies in the U.S. due to law enforcement in America using methods such as “entry and exit checks, and on-site interviews to harass Chinese citizens.”

In addition, China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued an official alert to travelers considering a trip to the U.S., citing shootings, robberies and theft that have occurred frequently.
The Ministry of Education also said Monday the U.S. recently placed restrictions on some Chinese student visas.
