IN DEFENSE OF
Japan and South Korea defended their public health restrictions on travelers from China on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023, a day after China stopped issuing new visas in both countries in apparent retaliation. South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin said he finds it 'significantly regrettable' that China stopped issuing short-term visas to South Koreans and called for China to align its pandemic steps with 'scientific and objective facts.' Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno criticized China for 'one-sidedly' restricting visa issuances to Japanese nationals 'because of a reason that is not related to Covid-19 measures.' China’s Foreign Ministry threatened countermeasures last week against countries that had announced new virus testing requirements for travelers from China following a surge in Covid-19 infections there. It remained unclear whether China would expand the visa suspensions to others that have imposed stricter virus testing on passengers from China.
