Ottawa has updated its travel advisory for China, suggesting Canadians exercise a high degree of caution “due to the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws.” This comes after China revoked the jail sentence conviction of Robert Lloyd Schellenberg and said it would instead seek the death penalty. Schellenberg is accused of smuggling drugs. “We are constantly evaluating our travel advice for Canadians traveling to China, as we do for all countries around the world,” Global Affairs Canada said in a statement. “All Canadians who are considering travel to China should carefully review the Government of Canada’s complete Travel Advice and Advisory.”
