China's Embassy in Washington has issued a security advisory to Chinese nationals traveling to the United States, the latest such warning as trade tensions escalate between the two countries.

"Public security in the United States is not good. Cases of shootings, robberies, and theft are frequent," the embassy said in the alert published Thursday to its website.
