The Chinese embassy in Tokyo announced that it has temporarily suspended the issuance of visas to Japanese visitors to China from the 10th.


The reason for the suspension of visa issuance has not been clarified, but it is believed to be a countermeasure against the strengthening of border measures by the Japanese government.

The Chinese embassy in Tokyo announced on its website that it has temporarily suspended issuing visas to Japanese visitors to China from the 10th.



The reason for the temporary suspension of visa issuance has not been clarified, but Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a press conference on the 10th, ``A few countries should consider scientific facts and their own infection status. However, it has imposed discriminatory immigration restrictions on China, and we will firmly oppose it and take equal measures."



In response to the infection status of the new corona in China, the Japanese government started temporary border measures from the 30th of last month, and from the 8th, people entering the country on direct flights from mainland China will be tested negative within 72 hours before departure. We are strengthening measures such as requesting submission of proof.



In addition to this, from the 12th of this month, the government will require not only mainland China but also people entering the country on direct flights from Macau to submit negative test results within 72 hours before departure. Sometimes we are going to implement PCR tests and more.
