AMERICAN TRAVELLERS AND EXPAT GUANGZHOU TERROR ALERT The second terror alert in a year has been issued. For those of you who haven't heard the news:  The United States Government has received unconfirmed information of a possible terrorist threat against U.S. interests in China, especially in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. This threat also may 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 China are advised to be aware of their surroundings and remain alert to possible threats. Americans living or traveling in China are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy or their nearest U.S. Consulate through the State Department's travel registration website, https:// travelregistration.state.gov/. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy or Consulate to contact them in case of emergency. U.S. citizens may contact the U.S. Embassy or Consulate directly to register in case they experience difficulties registering online. U.S. citizens planning to travel to China should consult the Department of State's country-specific Public Announcements, Travel Warnings, Consular Information Sheets, the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement and other information, available at http://travel.state.gov/. Up-to-date information on security conditions can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 in the U.S. and for callers outside the U.S. and Canada a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. I think we are relatively safe. I am loathe to make fun, but, I am personally more concerned about riding in a Guangzhou cab, but it is something to consider. In light of the recent suicides at Gitmo' and the Zarqawi score anything is possible.
