Only an idiot would risk traveling to China at this point. You could be detained and held as a political bargaining chip.

I should have visited China back when it was opening up and relations were relatively friendly. But now that we have entered a new Cold War it's too late, I missed my chance.

About 150 million tourists (or shall we call them "idiots"?) travel to China without incident every year.

I don't know what, specially, is happening in the 200 cases described by the Politico article you linked to. Politico mentions one accusation of drug trafficking and another of spying.
