US may ease warnings for Americans visiting China

Official notes concerns that advice may have curbed academic, other exchanges

- 

The US is considering easing advisories against its citizens travelling to China, Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said on April 9, acknowledging concerns that the warnings may have curtailed exchanges between Americans and Chinese people.

Communication channels between Washington and Beijing had largely normalised after months of heightened tensions, Mr Campbell told an event hosted by the non-profit National Committee on US-China Relations.

But he warned that Chinese support for Russia's war in Ukraine put stabilising ties at risk.
