China visas suspended for South Korea, Japan

China visas were suspended for South Korea and Japan citizens in a retaliatory move.

Visas were stopped over ‘discriminatory’ travel restrictions imposed by the two countries.

Japan travel agents were notified that visas for Japanese travellers were suspended.

China visas will only be reinstated if curbs are reversed.

South Korea and Japan are among countries to have imposed travel restrictions such as pre-travel Covid tests.
