🇺🇸❌🇨🇳❗️ — Crackdown on "Yellow Fever"? US bans romantic and sexual relationships with Chinese citizens for government employees in China, reports Fox News

➡️ The U.S. government banned employees and personnel in China from having romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens.

➡️ According to the Associated Press, four sources said that former U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Burns put the policy into place before leaving his post.

➡️ A watered-down version of the new policy was tested in summer 2024, which banned U.S. government employees in China from having "romantic and sexual relations" with Chinese citizens who were employed as support staff and guards at five consulates in China as well as the U.S. embassy.

➡️ Burns expanded that policy to cover all Chinese citizens just days before President Trump took office.
