Xinjiang Uighur: Asian Destinations and Affairs Canada

xinjiang uighur: However, there are some places that may seem attractive to travellers, such as Venezuela or Haiti, but which have been shaken by popular uprisings or political instability, according to CTV. In the case of the 'Pearl of the Antilles', the phrase 'avoiding all non-essential travel' is added. Predictably, North Korea, Iraq, Syria and many states at war or under the yoke of repressive regimes include this advisory. At a less alarming level, there are nearly a hundred countries in the world where Global Affairs Canada recommends 'exercising great caution'. Many European, South American or Asian destinations are found on this list. Ottawa also warns of certain practices observed in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region. In the case of China, Canadian travellers are advised to be careful because of the 'risk of arbitrary application of local laws'. A mention that is reminiscent of the detention of two Canadians, ex-diplomat Michael Kovrig and entrepreneur Michael Spavor, arrested in December 2018 in what appears to be retaliatory measures in response to the Canadian arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou on a US extradition warrant.
