Donald Trump News: While the whole world is currently busy discussing the US tariff war, the Trump government has issued a secret order to do not have a romantic or personal relations with local Chinese citizens in American missions in China. However, this order will not apply to American personnel stationed outside China. Those who already have relations with Chinese citizens will have to apply for exemption from this ban. According to government orders, an employee of the US government may also have to abolish any such relationship or resign from his post.
The Trump administration has not announced this policy, but American employees were informed in January. This is a reflection of increasing tension between the US and China. Currently, there is a competition between China and the US to increase its influence in trade, technology and the world. The US government has taken this precautionary measure to prevent spying activities from gaining momentum under these circumstances.
Similar restrictions were imposed in areas controlled by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Now this new ban is being seen as a significant change. During the Cold War, the US government had implemented strict rules on embassy employees to prevent sensitive information from getting into the hands of enemies through espionage and personal relations. These rules were relaxed after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. But the current ban indicates that the US government believes that in recent years the risk of getting sensitive information by Chinese authorities has increased manifold.
In January, US Ambassador Nicolas Burns issued these orders before leaving for China. This ban applies to diplomats, their families and security sanctioned contractors. The ban will apply to the embassy in Beijing and the consulates in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Sheenang, Wuhan and Hong Kong. Thus, no romantic relations between American employees and local Chinese citizens will be able to develop. The Chinese government is ready to take advantage of any human relationship to get secret information.
