Reading this trend
What moves the Safe Trip Score
China’s 7-day change is -2 points. Day-to-day moves under 3 points are noise: small advisory rewordings, individual events expiring out of the lookback window, score normalisation. Moves of 3 to 7 points reflect a real event, typically a new ministry advisory or a moderate-severity disaster / outbreak. Moves above 7 points are usually a level change on a major advisory or a high-severity acute event; check the events feed above to identify the driver. The current tone reads as heightened risk.
When a drop should change your plans
A score drop alone is not a cancellation signal; the cause is. If the drop traces to an outbreak in a region you are not visiting, the country-level score moved but your itinerary’s risk did not. If it traces to a foreign-ministry advisory upgrading the specific region you are visiting, that is the actionable signal. The Methodology page documents the weighting, and the Field Manual guides cover the cancel-push-alter decision tree per hazard category. For watchlisted countries, Safe Trip Pro pushes a notification when the score drops by your chosen threshold; the default is 5 points.

Frequently asked about China
What does the Safe Trip Score for China mean?
China's overall score is 63/100 (heightened risk). The score is calibrated on a 0 to 100 scale where 100 means very low risk and 0 means extreme risk. It blends six sub-scores (disease, conflict, disaster, crime, civil unrest, infrastructure) plus a 20% blend of major foreign-ministry advisories. See the Methodology page for the full weighting.
Why did China's score change?
Day-to-day moves under 3 points are noise. Moves of 3 to 7 points reflect a real event, typically a ministry advisory rewording or a moderate-severity disaster / outbreak. Moves above 7 points are usually a level change on a major advisory or a high-severity acute event. The events feed above identifies the driver.
How often does the China Safe Trip Score update?
The score recomputes once per day after the morning ingestion sweep. Live event feeds (USGS earthquakes, GDACS disasters, WAQI air quality) update hourly. Foreign-ministry advisories are checked daily. The status page shows the freshness of every feed.
