The United States is enforcing new Covid restrictions on Chinese arrivals, after Beijing announced it would reopen its borders next month.
The United States says this is due to a lack of transparency around the virus in China, as cases rise.
Beijing has said that Covid regulations are presented on a “scientific” basis.
India is also stepping up measures for Chinese arrivals, but this was announced before Beijing announced its strict border policy.
Passport programs for Chinese citizens wishing to travel abroad will resume from Jan. 8, the country’s immigration government said.
Travel sites reported an increase in traffic, which left some countries worried about the possible spread of Covid.
“The foreign network is increasingly involved in the ongoing covid-19 outbreaks in China and the lack of transparent knowledge, adding knowledge about viral genomic sequences,” U. S. officials said in a quote via news agencies.
He said China believes that all countries’ Covid responses deserve to be “science-based and proportionate,” and deserve “no blanket people-to-people exchanges. “
M. Wang called for “joint efforts to make certain cross-border journeys, maintain the stability of global trade supply chains, and promote economic recovery and growth. “
The U. K. and Germany have said they are closely following the scenario, but lately do not contemplate new restrictions for Chinese travelers.
A Downing Street spokesman said the number of cases in Britain remained “relatively low”.
Meanwhile, a German Health Ministry official said “there is no indication that a more harmful [Covid] mutation has developed. “
The actual number of cases and deaths in China is unknown, as the government has stopped releasing mandatory information. Reports suggest hospitals are being hit and other elderly people are dying.
Last week, Beijing reported 4,000 new covid infections every day and few deaths.
Before the rest of the rules, other people were strongly discouraged from traveling abroad. The sale of corporate travel and packages abroad has been banned, according to marketing response company Dragon Trail International.
Less than half an hour after Monday’s announcement of the reopening of China’s borders, knowledge of the Trip. com site, quoted in Chinese media, showed that searches for popular destinations increased tenfold compared to last year.
Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and South Korea were the top destinations.
Separately on Wednesday, Hong Kong leader John Lee announced that his city will almost without delay remove the last of its Covid regulations, with the exception of wearing face masks, which will remain mandatory.
“The city has achieved a higher vaccination rate that creates an epidemic barrier,” Mr. Lee said at a news conference.
The United States still asks travelers to provide evidence that they are fully vaccinated against covid upon entering the country.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website also recommends travel to the U. S. The U. S. government to get tested for Covid beforehand and have your result convenient, but that’s not a legal requirement.
In their statement, the identified EE. UU. no added that they were “following the science and recommendation of public fitness experts” and “consulting with partners. “
China’s easing of measures, the latest component of the country’s questionable zero-covid policy, follows weeks of unrest that saw others take to the streets in occasional protests against President Xi Jinping and his government.
