China broadens travel curbs to encompass family of top AI talent
Government agencies have recently begun to share the wider restrictions with affected people, which include prominent startup founders as well as the heads of strategically important companies in AI-related fields, people familiar with the matter said. Direct relatives such as spouses and children of certain AI and chip executives, whose work is considered paramount to state security, are now required to obtain approval from Beijing before going abroad even for short trips, the people said. That marks a broadening of existing curbs on the freedom of movement of China's most influential tech talent - a category that encompasses entrepreneurs, researchers and executives.
