China suspended issuing visas in its embassies in South Korea and Japan on Tuesday after the countries announced a negative COVID-19 test would be required from all travelers coming from China.
China announced it would retaliate against all countries that mandated a negative COVID-19 test on travelers from China after the country saw an increase in positive COVID-19 cases. China ditched its"zero-COVID" policy after historic protests took place in the country last month.
“Our government’s step to strengthen anti-virus measures on passengers arriving from China is based on scientific and objective evidence," the ministry said in a statement to the Associated Press."We have provided information to the international community in a transparent manner and we have communicated with the Chinese side in advance.”
So far, only Seoul and Tokyo have announced a pause in visa operations, but at least eight other countries in North America, Europe, and Asia are requiring negative tests on passengers from China, including the United States.
