Warden Message (November 10, 2005)

November 9 Threat Message Retracted

The Chinese Ministry of Public Security informed the U.S. Embassy in Beijing on November 10 that Chinese security authorities have determined that the source of a reported threat against four and five star hotels in China is not credible. The United States Government is not aware of any other information of any threat against hotels in China, including Hong Kong. Our warden message(s) of November 9 and 10 on threats to hotels are therefore retracted.

Americans living or traveling in Hong Kong are encouraged to register with the U.S. Consulate General through the State Department's travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the Consulate by calling 2841-2211. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Consulate to contact them in case of emergency. U.S. citizens planning to travel to Hong Kong should consult the Department of State's country-specific Public Announcements, Travel Warnings, Consular Information Sheets, the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement and other information, available at http://travel.state.gov. Up-to-date information on security conditions can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 in the U.S. and for callers outside the U.S. and Canada a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.
