A recently established policy by the US government prohibits American government personnel, along with their families and contractors, from engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens. Initiated by departing Ambassador Nicholas Burns in January, this directive marks a significant shift, moving from previous limited restrictions to a blanket non-fraternization policy. The decision arose from concerns expressed by members of Congress about inadequate prior limits. Notably, the policy affects US missions in mainland China and implies increasingly cautious diplomatic relations with China, reminiscent of Cold War norms.
