At a recent briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian announced that the Chinese mainland will impose reciprocal visa restrictions on U.S. personnel deemed disruptive on Xizang-related issues.
Lin explained that these measures are a response to what he described as the U.S. abuse of visa restrictions on Chinese officials regarding Xizang, an area considered an internal matter of the Chinese mainland.
He emphasized, "Xizang is open. The Chinese mainland welcomes foreign friends to visit, travel and do business in Xizang," while firmly opposing any interference in Xizang under the guise of human rights, religion or culture.
This move highlights evolving diplomatic tensions and reinforces a call for adherence to international norms. Stay tuned for more updates! 😊
