國務院將中國旅遊警示中的風險指標由「O」調整為「D」,以反映美國公民在當地遭不當拘留的嚴重風險。
美國國務院更新對中國的旅遊警示,新增「D」指標以警示美國公民在中國面臨「不當拘留」的風險。此舉與學者敏辛及地震學家陳友林遭中方拘留有關,儘管整體警示等級維持在第2級,但國務院強調了特定風險的嚴重性。

美國國務院針對中國的旅遊警示此前標註為「O」風險指標,代表未涵蓋的其他潛在風險。今年9月,國務院已針對限制出境等情況加強警告。
美國新聞網站Semafor取得的一份最新規劃顯示,美國國務院正在更新對中國的旅遊警示,調升美國公民在當地遭「不當拘留」(wrongful detention)的風險等級。
報導指出,國務院採取這項措施之際,美國今年稍早已將2名遭中國關押的美國公民列為「不當拘留」個案。儘管美中2國元首似乎交流熱絡,但雙方從台灣海峽、貿易到人工智慧(AI)等領域,仍存在深刻分歧。
知情人士向Semafor透露,國務院此次調整,與2名美國公民敏辛(Min Zin)及陳友林(Youlin Chen)持續遭中方拘留有關。敏辛為緬甸問題學者,今年6月在雲南遭拘留,並被控危害中國國家安全;陳友林則是地震學家,2024年在北京國際機場被捕,並遭控間諜罪。
調整後的中國整體旅遊警示仍維持在第2級,即敦促美國公民前往中國時「應提高警覺」(Exercise Increased Caution),但國務院此次特別新增代表不當拘留風險的「D」指標。在此之前,中國旅遊警示標註的是「O」風險指標,代表當地存在國務院特定風險類別「未涵蓋的其他潛在風險」。
國務院發言人在發給Semafor的聲明中表示:「美國國務院已認定,美國人在中國面臨遭到不當拘留的嚴重風險。『D』風險指標意味著國務院認定美國公民有遭該國政府不當拘留的風險。」
一群跨黨派聯邦參議員上個月才提出一項決議案,引述上述2名遭拘留公民的案例,敦促國務院在旅遊警示中加註不當拘留指標。該發言人指出,不當拘留的認定取決於多項因素,包括當事人是否具備美國公民身分,或與美國有所關聯。
至於新增不當拘留指標後,為何整體旅遊警示仍維持在第2級?發言人解釋,新增指標是為了「標示不當拘留的特定風險」,而「整體旅遊警示等級則反映了對安全與治安環境的廣泛評估」。
這是國務院對中國旅遊警示的最新一次更新。今年9月初,國務院才針對不當拘留、「任意執行當地法律」,以及動用「限制出境」(exit bans)等情況,加強警告措辭。
