SHANGHAI - Authorities in southern China have detained an American pilot who works for FedEx, in the latest in a series of difficulties for American travellers and companies in China.

The Air Line Pilots Association International, the union representing most American pilots, declined to discuss the case, as did Hohn's lawyer. The State Department issued a travel advisory for China in January, warning Americans, particularly those with dual Chinese-American citizenship, that they may not be allowed to leave China if they go there.

Zimmerman said that China does not have a bail system as it is generally understood in the West. China relies more on severe travel restrictions on people who are released from detention but remain under investigation. China has strict laws not just against the possession of weapons but also against the possession of ammunition.
