Big news today. ALL the publications that carry this story tell you that the United States has banned relationships between her citizens and Chinese citizens in that country. Trump has been back in office for two and a half months and the titles of the articles, all of them, lead you to believe that this was the Trump Administration. Au contraire! This ban was put in place by the former Ambassador Nicholas Burns right before he left office. That doesn’t make the ban wrong or bad. No. Just would have liked a little clarity. Thank you.
Here is the Newsweek article and intro: US Bans Sex Between Personnel and Chinese Citizens in China: Report
The U.S. government has enacted a sweeping ban on romantic or sexual relationships between American government personnel and Chinese citizens in China, an unprecedented move not seen publicly since the Cold War, The Associated Press reported.
Four individuals with direct knowledge of the new rules confirmed to the AP that the policy took effect in January, shortly before U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Burns left his post in Beijing. It applies to all American diplomatic staff, family members, and contractors with security clearances stationed at U.S. facilities in mainland China and Hong Kong.
