What is the China Travel Risk Self-Check?

A free online tool from Artisan Business Group that helps you gauge, before you book, whether anything in your profile could affect your ability to enter or leave China under China's 2026 rules. It takes two to three minutes, is anonymous, and ends with a downloadable report.

Is the China Travel Risk Self-Check free and anonymous?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no ID required to get your result. You only share contact details if you choose to book a consultation.

Who should use the China Travel Risk Self-Check?

It is built for foreign nationals traveling to China, and also covers green-card holders, dual nationals, and Chinese citizens living overseas.

What are China's new 2026 entry and exit rules?

State Council Order No. 841 (effective September 15, 2026) updates when foreign nationals can be refused entry and when Chinese citizens can be restricted from leaving. Two related measures — the Ethnic Unity Law and new police cybersecurity inspection rules — can also affect a traveler's profile.

Can a foreign national be banned from entering China?

Yes. Entry can be refused for reasons such as false information in an application, prior border-control penalties, or being subject to Chinese countermeasures or sanctions listings.

Can you be prevented from leaving China?

It is possible. People with unresolved civil, criminal, or tax matters, and in some cases those in sensitive fields, can face exit restrictions. The tool flags factors worth reviewing before you travel.

What should I do if my result is elevated or high?

Consider a professional review before you book. You can request a consultation with Brian Su directly from your results.

Legal basis: State Council Order No. 841 (Exit-Entry Administration Regulations, eff. Sept 15 2026); Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress (eff. July 1 2026); MPS Order No. 176 (Police Cyberspace Security Supervision, eff. Oct 1 2026).

About This Tool

China's exit and entry rules are being significantly updated in 2026 under State Council Order No. 841 (effective September 15, 2026), alongside two related measures: the Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress (effective July 1, 2026) and new police cybersecurity inspection regulations (MPS Order No. 176, effective October 1, 2026). Together, these rules expand the grounds on which travelers can be refused entry to China — or prevented from leaving. This free China travel risk check helps you understand whether your profile could be affected.

Who It's For

This China entry/exit risk assessment is built primarily for foreign nationals worldwide who are considering travel to or from China — including business travelers, academics, journalists, tech and semiconductor workers, NGO and human-rights workers, and content creators. It also covers green-card holders, dual nationals, and Chinese citizens living overseas who may face different rules under the 2026 regulations.

How It Works

1Answer a few questions — takes 2–3 minutes, fully anonymous, no sign-up required.
2Get a clear risk level — Low, Moderate, Elevated, or High — with plain-language context about the specific 2026 rules that apply to your situation.
3Download a personal report — a professionally formatted PDF summarizing your factors, risk level, and recommended next steps. Optionally, book a consultation with Brian Su.

What It Checks

›Government, military, or state-affiliated roles
›Public commentary on politically sensitive topics concerning China
›Business or legal matters in mainland China (disputes, debts, investigations)
›Cyber and data compliance exposure under MPS Order No. 176
›Sanctions and countermeasures listings (U.S. and Chinese)
›Dual nationality and Chinese citizenship status
