In a tightening grip on civil society, Chinese authorities have implemented a policy that requires teachers and other public-sector employees to surrender their passports. Under the guise of "personal travel abroad management," this measure is part of President Xi Jinping's broader efforts to control who can travel internationally and for what purposes. According to reports, the move is linked to China's strategy of curbing corruption and limiting the influence of foreign ideas on its citizens, especially those involved in shaping young minds.
