Covid-19: China Suspends The Issuance Of Visas To Japanese Citizens

China embassy in Tokyo has announced that it will begin to“suspend the issuance” of visas to Japanese citizens as from Tuesday in an apparent response to Japan’s restrictions on Chinese travellers over a surge in Covid cases.

Beijing earlier on Tuesday suspended issuing short-term visas to South Koreans in a similar tit-for-tat reaction to Seoul’s imposition of travel restrictions on Chinese visitors.
