Hey everyone! In today's global news, China announced that it will take decisive reciprocal measures after the U.S. imposed visa restrictions on officials linked to southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. This move has sparked a heated debate online, highlighting tensions over interference in China's internal matters.
During a regular news briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that the U.S. action constitutes gross interference in Xizang affairs and is a serious breach of international law. Guo made it clear that China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this measure.
Guo also emphasized that Xizang remains open to all. The region welcomed 320,000 visitors in 2024, proving that tourism continues to thrive. However, given its unique geographic and climate conditions, local authorities enforce lawful measures to protect visiting nationals and ensure everyone plays by the rules. 🛫🌍
Furthermore, the spokesperson condemned unwarranted criticisms of the region's human rights, religious, and cultural developments, and warned against meddling in its domestic affairs. China urges the U.S. to honor its commitments on Xizang-related issues and to stop supporting forces aimed at promoting Xizang independence.
This unfolding drama is a reminder of the complex dance in international diplomacy. Stay tuned for more updates on global trends and cultural exchanges! 🚀
