Safety and Security
Terrorism
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. You can find more information about this threat in our General Advice to Australian Travellers.
[U]On 13 November 2005, the United States Consulate in Guangzhou issued a warden message stating "The United States Government has received credible information that a terrorist threat may exist against official US Government facilities in Guangzhou. This threat may also exist for places where Americans are known to congregate or visit, including clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools or outdoor recreation events. American citizens in south China are advised to be aware of their surroundings and remain alert to possible threats."
[/U]Westerners frequenting the areas mentioned in the US warden message, including Australians, could be caught up in any attacks.
Crime
[U]Petty crime directed at foreigners, particularly pickpocketing, purse snatching and theft of laptops and mobile phones continues to increase. Resisting can lead to violence or injury. Foreigners have been assaulted and robbed, particularly in popular expatriate bar areas of Beijing, Shanghai and other major cities.
There has been an increase in crime, including robbery and attacks on tourists, in Shenzhen in Guangdong province. When travelling to Shenzhen, you should keep photocopies of your passport and other documents identifying you and some cash separate from other personal belongings.
[/U]Local Travel
Travellers are permitted to travel only in areas open to foreigners. Travel near military installations and near some border areas within China is restricted.
[U]Visits to Tibet, and many remote areas not normally open to foreigners, require a permit. Generally only travellers in organised tour groups are permitted to travel to the Tibetan region of China.[/U]
Tibet, Qinghai, parts of Xinjiang, and western Sichuan are situated at altitudes over 3000 metres. Travellers in these areas may suffer from altitude sickness.
[U]Travel and living conditions vary greatly between city areas and less developed rural areas. You may have trouble finding essential goods and services such as banking and telephones in rural areas.
Poor quality roads and aggressive driving can make road travel in China dangerous.
If travelling by taxi, you should ensure you have sufficient small notes. Reports of taxi drivers using counterfeit notes to make change are increasing.
Tour operators, public buses and ferries might not meet the safety standards you would expect in Australia, particularly in rural areas of the country.
[/U]Natural Disasters
China is in an active seismic zone and is subject to earthquakes. The rainy season occurs between April and October. Severe rainstorms can cause flooding which may interrupt essential services. Typhoons can occur along the southern and eastern coasts. You should monitor weather reports if travelling in affected areas
Information on natural disasters can be obtained from the Humanitarian Early Warning Service. If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities.
Money and Valuables
Before you go, organise a variety of ways of accessing your money overseas, such as credit cards, travellers' cheques and cash. Check with your bank whether your ATM card will work overseas.
Make two photocopies of valuables such as your passport, tickets, visas and travellers' cheques. Keep one copy with you in a separate place to the original and leave another copy with someone at home.
While travelling, don't carry too much cash and remember that expensive watches, jewellery and cameras may be tempting targets for thieves.
As a sensible precaution against luggage tampering, including theft, lock your luggage. Information on luggage safety is available from The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
Since 1 July 2005, Australians have been required to pay an additional fee to have their passport replaced. In some cases, the Government may also restrict the length of validity or type of replacement passports.
For Parents
If you are planning on placing your children in schools or child care facilities overseas we encourage you to research the standards of security, care and staff training within those establishments. You should exercise the same precautions you would take before placing children into schools or child care facilities in Australia.
Ideas on how to select child care providers are available from the smartraveller Children's Issues page, Child Wise and the National Childcare Accreditation Council.
Local Laws
When you are in China, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.
Information on what Australian consular officers can and cannot do to help Australians in trouble overseas is available from the Consular Services Charter.
[U]There are strictly enforced laws which prohibit demonstrations, unless they have prior approval from the government. If arrested, you could be jailed or deported.[/U]
Penalties for drug offences are severe and include the death penalty.
Serious crimes may attract the death penalty.
Failure to maintain a valid visa could result in a fine of 500 RMB per day and detention. If you intend to work in China, you should review your conditions carefully and ensure that all visa requirements are met. Employment in China usually requires a 'Z-class' visa and a Chinese residence permit.
[U]All foreigners are required to register their place of residence with the local Public Security Bureau within 24 hours of arrival. Foreigners staying with family or friends in a private home must comply with this requirement. Failure to do so could result in fines and detention. If you are staying at a hotel, this is done as part of the normal check-in process.
[/U]You should carry evidence of your identity at all times and present it upon demand of police authorities. Your passport or a Chinese residence card is an acceptable form of identity.
[U]F#alu#ng#ong activities are banned in China. F#alun#g#ong related demonstrations and activities contravene Chinese laws. If you participate, you could be arrested, imprisoned and/or deported.[/U]
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 17 years imprisonment for Australians who engage in sexual activity with children under 16 while outside of Australia.
Information for Dual Nationals
The Chinese government does not recognise dual nationality and will not allow consular access by the Australian Embassy or Consulate to Australians detained by Chinese authorities if they have entered China on a Chinese passport, a Hong Kong or Macau identity card or any non-Australian foreign passport. Consular access is, however, allowed to those who have entered on Australian passports. Therefore, if you are an Australian/Chinese dual national, you should travel on your Australian passport, obtain a visa for China and present yourself as Australian at all times.
Our Travel Information for Dual Nationals brochure provides further information for dual nationals.
Entry and Exit Requirements
Visa conditions change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of China for the most up to date information.
If travelling to China, your passport must be valid for at least six months after the duration of your intended stay and you must also be able to provide evidence of a return or onward ticket. A visa is required for all travellers to China whether for tourism, business, employment or study purposes. You should ensure that you obtain the appropriate visa for the purpose of your visit. It is very difficult to obtain a visa at Chinese border entry points.
Hong Kong and Macau are Special Administrative Regions with separate visa and entry administration. Travellers who exit mainland China to visit those destinations may require a new Chinese visa in order to re-enter mainland China. Some travel permits, issued in Hong Kong or at Hong Kong-Macau-Chinese mainland border crossings, are valid for limited travel to designated areas only such as Shenzhen, Zhuhai or other areas in Guangdong Province. It is illegal to use these permits to travel to other parts of China.
As a preventative measure against SARS, local quarantine measures on entry into China include completion of a health and quarantine declaration form and may include a body temperature check. In some cases, an additional medical examination may be required.
Health Issues
Avian Influenza: The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has confirmed cases of avian influenza in birds in a number of countries throughout the world. For a list of these countries, visit the OIE website. For information on our advice to Australians on how to reduce the risk of infection and on Australian Government precautions see our travel bulletin on avian influenza.
There have been human cases of avian influenza in China. The Department of Health and Ageing advises Australians who reside in China for an extended period to consider, as a precautionary measure, having access to influenza antiviral medicine for treatment. Long term residents are at a greater risk of exposure to avian influenza over time. Medical advice should be sought before antiviral medicines are commenced. Australians intending to travel to China for shorter periods are at much lower risk of infection but should discuss the risk of avian influenza with their doctor as part of their routine pre-travel health checks.
If the avian influenza virus mutates to a form where efficient human-to-human transmission occurs, it may spread quickly and local authorities could move quickly to impose restrictions on travel. Australian travellers and long-term residents in China should be prepared to take personal responsibility for their own safety and well-being, including deciding when to leave an affected area and ensuring they have appropriate contingency plans in place. Australians in China should monitor the travel advice and bulletin for updated information and advice, and ensure that their travel documents, including passports and visas for any non-Australian family members, are up to date in case they need to depart at short notice.
In September 2005 the Australian Government decided as a precautionary measure to hold a limited supply of the antiviral medicine oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and protective face masks at its missions in China. The antivirals would primarily be used to protect emergency staff providing consular and other essential services in the event of a widespread outbreak of avian influenza amongst humans. Australian missions will not be in a position to provide influenza antiviral medicines to Australians in affected areas and it is the responsibility of individual Australians to secure their own supply of such medicines (such as Tamiflu or Relenza) if required.
Streptococcus suis: The Ministry of Health in China has confirmed a number of human deaths and numerous cases of infection by Streptococcus suis, a species of bacterium often found where pigs are raised. Virtually all cases have occurred in Sichuan province in adult male farmers. Information reported to the World Health Organisation suggests that close contact with diseased or dead pigs is the principal source of human infection. To date, Chinese health authorities have found no evidence of human-to-human transmission.
Japanese Encephalitis: Japanese Encephalitis (also known as Encephalitis B), a mosquito-borne disease, is endemic in rural areas of Southern China from June to August. If you intend to visit rural areas, you should consult your doctor or a travel clinic for information on vaccinations prior to departure.
[U]HIV/AIDS: HIV/AIDS is a significant concern in China. There is a risk of exposure to unsafe blood and blood products in regional China.[/U] Travellers may need to specifically request the use of sterilised equipment. Additional charges may be incurred for the use of new syringes in hospitals or clinics.
The standard of medical care and range of familiar medicines available in China is often limited, particularly outside of major cities. [U]Hospitals and doctors often require cash payment, prior to providing medical services, including for emergency care. Medical evacuation from China is very expensive.
[/U]A health declaration card must be completed upon arrival in China. HIV-positive status is grounds for refusal of entry or deportation. Individuals applying for permanent residence, or intending to stay or study for longer than one year, must produce an HIV/AIDS test certificate on arrival (approved by a Chinese Embassy or Consulate abroad) or undergo a test within 20 days of arrival.
Quarantine requirements vary throughout the provinces and municipalities in China. The nearest Embassy or Consulate of the People's Republic of China can provide detailed information.
Your doctor or travel clinic is the best source of information about immunisations and disease outbreaks overseas. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our 'Travelling Well' brochure also provides useful tips for staying healthy while travelling overseas.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel.
