China has imposed exit bans on at least two American citizens—a U.S. government employee and a Wells Fargo banker—preventing them from leaving the country.
Chinese authorities claim the banker, Chenyue Mao, is involved in a criminal case, while the government employee was reportedly questioned about his military background. These actions come amid already strained U.S.-China relations and have prompted Wells Fargo to suspend all business travel to China. The use of exit bans is raising alarm among Western businesses, fueling concerns about the risks of operating in China and the potential for diplomatic leverage.
The U.S. State Department has expressed concern, warning that such measures could further damage bilateral relations.
