Australians have been warned they may be at risk of arbitrary detention if they ignore government warnings and travel to China.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade changed its advice on Tuesday, although the Level 4"do not travel" alert remains in place.

"Authorities have detained foreigners because they're 'endangering national security'. Australians may also be at risk of arbitrary detention. Do not travel to China."The Canadian government issued a similar warning about travelling to China last year after a Canadian drug suspect was sentenced to death.

China accuses UK of 'gross interference' over citizen offer to Hong KongersBeijing has accused the UK of a 'gross interference' by offering Hong Kong residents a route to citizenship over the national security law. Well, China shouldn't break internationally signed and registered treaties then others wouldn't react to that... Does China think we are in the 1950s or something? Really 😳 How about China's gross interference of the World by not fessing up about coronavirus. And Hitler complained when the allies moved in to halt the extermination of the Jews.
