The Mainland Affairs Council in Taiwan recently raised the travel alert to China to 'orange alert' due to recent security concerns, including cases of Taiwanese individuals being illegally detained in China. The council recommends avoiding non-essential travel to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. The move has sparked discussions on cross-strait relations and potential risks for travelers, with the public expressing caution and considering the implications of traveling to China amidst heightened tensions. The United States had previously raised its travel alert for China to 'reconsider travel' last year. Travel industry representatives and the opposition party have responded to the council's alert, highlighting concerns over deteriorating cross-strait relations and the impact on travel businesses and political dialogue.
