US Bans Its Staff In China From Romantic Relationships With Chinese Citizens by BlackViper(op): 3:10am On Apr 04, 2025
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.

The policy was announced to American government staff located in China in January, but hasn't been announced publicly.

Two people with knowledge of the new policy told the Associated Press that it was implemented after several members of Congress reached out to Burns and voiced worries that there wasn't a policy in place that restricted such relationships with Chinese citizens.

Individuals who violate the policy will be forced to leave China.

The policy doesn't apply to U.S. employees located outside of China.

The Chinese government employs a similar policy for overseas personnel, barring them from having sexual or romantic relationships with foreign citizens.

Nice move
Re: US Bans Its Staff In China From Romantic Relationships With Chinese Citizens by JoeyNaza:
China has posters all over major cities that advise normal women (not government staff ooh) to beware of or ignore friendly foreign men.

This move by US is just normal policy because espionage is a dirty game.

To avoid leaking state secret.

You can't avoid Chinese-American population. You can only control govt employees, not private citizens.

Mark Zuckerberg's wife is chinese i think. One of the founder of Nvidia is Taiwanese(still China)

Israelites can't marry non-israelites!

…and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.…Deuteronomy 7:2-4

I can see why comments here are vastly irrational, many rush down to comment without reading just a paragraph of the post outside headlines.
