The Chinese regime on June 4 issued a travel advisory for the United States, one day after it warned students hoping to study in the country about U.S. visa delays, in its latest salvo against Washington in an escalating trade dispute.

China’s Ministry of Culture issued a safety warning to Chinese tourists, citing frequent shootings, robberies, and thefts in the United States. The advisory, however, didn’t provide any statistics or further information.
