Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council has officially raised the travel warning for visits to China, Hong Kong, and Macau from 'yellow' to 'orange,' advising citizens to avoid non-essential travel. This decision comes due to increased enforcement of national security laws in these regions, leading to cases of Taiwanese nationals facing illegal detention, interrogation, and other threats in China. The warning level progression in Taiwan ranges from gray ('exercise caution') to red ('evacuate immediately'), with orange indicating 'avoid non-essential travel.' This change has raised concerns among travel industry professionals, with criticisms on its impact and necessity expressed by various parties.
