I’m going by active travel advisories from US department of state.


Fascinating. Really surprised to see they have it as "reconsider travel". Reading the explanation it makes some amount of sense. I can't say that the issues they state don't happen, it's just they are so rare I never really considered them in day to day life there as a foreigner and still after decades don't know anyone who has been affected by them outside of very publicised cases.

I'd say for the vast majority of people not directly involved in tense parts of international relations its very safe. You have much more to worry about if you are a Chinese national resident in the US, which is what most of the warnings seem to allude to.
