The US has banned government personnel based in China from having romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens, the Associated Press reported citing people familiar with the matter.
The policy was put into effect by departing US Ambassador Nicholas Burns in January shortly before he left China, and applies also to family members and contractors with security clearances, the news service said Thursday, citing four people with direct knowledge of the matter whom it didn’t identify.
