China has imposed exit bans on a US government employee and a Wells Fargo banker, preventing them from leaving the country and citing legal or criminal investigations.
The US State Department has confirmed the cases and is actively engaging with Chinese officials to resolve the situation. These actions have heightened concerns among foreign businesses and governments about the risks of operating in China, especially as exit bans are increasingly seen as tools for diplomatic leverage or pressure. Wells Fargo has responded by suspending all business travel to China, and the incidents have further strained already tense US-China relations.
The use of exit bans is drawing international scrutiny and could impact foreign investment and business confidence in China.
