China has imposed exit bans on a US government employee and a Wells Fargo banker, preventing them from leaving the country and citing legal or criminal investigations.
The US State Department has confirmed the cases and is actively engaging with Chinese officials to resolve the situation. These actions have heightened concerns among Western businesses about the risks of operating in China, as exit bans are increasingly seen as tools for diplomatic leverage or legal pressure. The incidents come amid already strained US-China relations and have prompted companies like Wells Fargo to suspend business travel to China.
The use of exit bans is raising alarm about the safety of foreign nationals and the stability of international business operations in China.
