Today a prominent Chinese executive was arrested in Canada at the request of the US, apparently for attempting to avoid restrictions on sales to Iran. It happened right after a meeting between President Trump and Secretary Xi which just makes it look like the US is playing China somehow.
I don't know how often senior execs are arrested on politically hot charges like this but I'd bet on rarely. One possible response would be arresting an American executive or entrepreneur, possibly on questionable charges. China does have a history of detaining people when it finds that useful.
I'm probably overreacting but I've always figured an angry government or population is more of a threat to the everyday guy than terrorism. This event did set off all my "uh oh, if I were in the country I'd call my travel people quick" alerts.
If you are familiar with the situation

What is the view on the street over there?
-
Do you think counter arrests would be a likely response or will they go with something else?
