China tightens control of overseas travel in sweeping new law

China's new law aims to tighten control over overseas travel, focusing on securing state secrets, advanced technology, and highly skilled workers. This move reflects President Xi Jinping's broader strategy to protect national interests amid growing international scrutiny and competition. The implications extend to potential impacts on Chinese nationals traveling abroad and the country's global economic and technological strategies. For those in these fields, the new regulations could mean stricter scrutiny and limitations on movement.
