BEIJING — China suspended visas Tuesday for South Koreans to come to the country for tourism or business in apparent retaliation for COVID-19 testing requirements on Chinese travelers. A brief notice posted online by the Chinese Embassy in Seoul said the ban would apply until South Korea lifted its “discriminatory measures on entrance by China” to the country.
No other details were given, although China has threated to retaliate against countries that require travelers from China to show a negative test result for COVID-19 taken within the previous 48 hours.Beijing has been accused by the World Health Organization of withholding data on the state of the outbreak in China, and around a dozen countries have followed the U.S. in requiring negative tests for travelers coming from China.
China abruptly reversed its strict pandemic containment requirements last month in response to what it says was the changing nature of the outbreak. That came after three years of lockdowns, quarantines and mass testing that prompted protests on the street in Beijing and other major cities not seen in three decades.and consumer activity might revive as early as the first quarter of this year.
Even a child can see this is the reciprocal (or say revenge) instead of science based policy. Childish CCP.
SK has taken very excessive behavior towards Chinese tourists, they have given Chinese a yellow card and let many cameras film them. That's what Little Korea does
How dare the South Koreans want to keep their citizens safe?
Typical Chinese 'wolf warrior' bullying tactics🤣
Why would anyone want to go to China right now? Is it some giant South Korean vaccine test?
China, please keep your germ carriers home. The civilized world doesn’t want you
What Koreans do to tourists from China.
Other reports a different story
Pathetic China

If you are neutral, then you should check out what discriminatory Koreans treated Chinese entering the country a few days ago. Of course, if you discriminate against Chinese, I won't say anything, because discrimination against China is the usual style of whites and their allies

Good on South Korea.
cat screech sound
It's their country.
Wow, COVID restrictions imposed on a populous for non-health related purposes… why does that sound familiar?
Why did Biden tell us “Covid is over” ?
Why should anyone allow CCP propagandists into their country. Everyone alllowed to leave the CCP is a spy and should be treated as such.
