The last warning was retracted but this one just showed up and is a bit more troubling than the last.

Warden Message
November 13, 2005
The United States Government has received credible information that a
terrorist threat may exist against official U.S. Government facilities in
Guangzhou. This threat also may exist for places where Americans are known to congregate or visit, including clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools or outdoor recreation events.
American citizens in south China are advised to be aware of their
surroundings and remain alert to possible threats. Americans living or
traveling in China are encouraged to register with the U.S. Consulate
General in Guangzhou or their nearest Embassy or Consulate through the State Department's travel registration website,
<https://travelregistration.state.gov/>. By registering, American citizens
make it easier for the Consulate to contact them in case of emergency.
On the way to work this morning I noticed an extra barricade (nothing of any import) and a doubled police presence around the front of the building housing the US consulate visa section here. It looks nice but wouldn't stop a bloody moped from crashing the front doors. And all the other foreigners are giving me hell now as their consulates are warning them too about this "American threat". Its the hate bandwagon, jump on soon before its full!
