ETS Security Overview – China

China remains a one-party state under the Communist Party of China (CPC), which exerts strict control over politics, the media, and civil society. Information is heavily regulated, with state-approved media dominating the narrative and foreign or independent reporting tightly restricted. The internet is also heavily censored, with many international websites and social media platforms blocked. This overarching political environment creates a high level of state oversight for both citizens and visitors, with particular attention paid to foreign organizations operating in China. Sensitive regions such as Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong remain areas of concern, where unrest, ethnic tensions, or heightened security measures are more likely. In Xinjiang specifically, terrorism threats linked to separatist groups have prompted airport-style security measures and pervasive state monitoring.

Crime in China is generally considered low risk compared to many other countries, with serious violence against foreign visitors being rare. However, petty crimes such as pickpocketing, bag-snatching, and scams are common in crowded areas, tourist sites, and on public transportation. Travelers are advised to remain alert in these environments, avoid obvious displays of wealth, and use official or pre-arranged transportation whenever possible. Outside major cities, police presence and emergency services may be less reliable, underscoring the importance of careful planning in rural areas.

The threat of terrorism is most pronounced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where groups such as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement have been linked to past attacks. This has resulted in a significant security presence throughout the region, with frequent checks and monitoring of movement. Tibet and Hong Kong can also experience unrest, sometimes leading to sudden security crackdowns or restrictions on public gatherings. Travelers and organizations should be prepared for disruptions in these areas and maintain flexible evacuation or contingency plans.

Natural disasters pose one of the most consistent risks to travelers and businesses in China. The country is prone to typhoons, flooding, earthquakes, and landslides, particularly in rural or mountainous areas where infrastructure is less resilient. Typhoon season runs from May to November, affecting southern and coastal provinces most severely. Earthquake risk is also significant across large parts of the country, and seasonal flooding has long been a recurring hazard. Such events can cause widespread disruption to travel, communications, and local services, making contingency planning and insurance coverage essential for both short-term travel and long-term operations.

As part of our service all clients have free access to our ExploreSecure® eLearning Travel Security training pre-departure

FAQ’s for Secure Travel to China

Is it safe to travel in Beijing?2024-08-30T06:45:04-04:00

Beijing is generally considered safe as long as you take the necessary precautions.  As with most cities there are crime and safety risks, but with secure transportation and a robust travel risk management plan, visits to the region can be conducted safely.

What is the Biggest Danger to Travelers in China?2024-08-30T06:44:55-04:00

The biggest danger to travelers in China is road traffic collisions.  According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), China is among the worst countries in the world for fatalities related to traffic incidents.  The cause of many incidents is down to poor driving standards and a lack of awareness when on challenging roads.

Consider booking secure transport when moving through China.  Having an experienced local security driver and safe vehicle to navigate through challenging situations will significantly improve your safety. Visit www.execsecure.com for a quick and easy booking process.

Are armored vehicles utilized in China?2024-08-30T06:44:44-04:00

Yes, armored vehicles can be used in China, but are rarely requested as the risk level is low.  Usually a low profile sedan or SUV accompanied with a security driver is requested for airport transfers and movements for meetings and corporation events.

Can security be armed in China?2024-03-29T02:14:07-04:00

No, private security in China cannot be legally armed.  It is important to consider the risks before your travel and ensure you have the right security measures in place.  Often, business travel will be conducted with a security driver and safe vehicle in China.

Is China safe for business travel?2024-08-30T06:44:33-04:00

Yes, business travel in China can be conducted safely but ensure you throughly research the region before travel. Crime levels are relatively low, however pickpocketing and theft do happen, especially in the major cities including Beijing. Sexual harassment against female visitors when traveling on the metro is common. This has resulted in female-only carriages in some locations in China.  However, be aware that the threat is likely to still exist.

Business travel clients in China usually request a security driver and appropriate vehicle to facilitate their movements.
