The United States has implemented a new policy prohibiting government personnel stationed in China—including their family members and contractors with security clearances—from engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens.
The move is driven by national security concerns, particularly the risk of espionage and influence operations by Chinese intelligence services. Officials are typically briefed on such risks before deployment, with past cases highlighting how foreign agents have used personal relationships to extract sensitive information. The policy aims to reduce vulnerabilities and protect classified information.
This decision reflects growing tensions and mistrust between the US and China.
