China
Executive Summary
Crime in China is relatively LOW, however, petty crime does exist in urban areas. Kidnap is more common in China, however foreigners are seldom targeted. Despite demonstrations being illegal in China, civil unrest occurs and can threaten traveller security. All demonstrations should be avoided. War risk presents a threat to travellers, especially those who are from conflicting nations such as Vietnam and Japan. All travellers should avoid embassies of conflicting nations during active skirmishes. Espionage remains a significant threat for travellers to China, especially those there on business.

Risk Mitigation
The risk to business travellers in China can be mitigated significantly by adopting appropriate security measures. While no single security measure can reduce the risk, best practice is to assume a layered approach. A layered approach involves;
-
physical security measures
-
threat awareness
-
situational alertness
Prior to departure you should have a sound knowledge of the local threats, understand how to implement mitigation procedures and understand the current environment on the ground. For comprehensive threat analysis, mitigation recommendations, an overview of the local environment and security request a travel itinerary assessment.
