The US has introduced new visa restrictions on China, which the Chinese Foreign Ministry has described as the result of political pressure and a Cold War mentality.
According to the American news agency, the spokesperson of the Foreign Office has confirmed that new restrictions have been introduced in the issuance of visas to all members of the Communist Party of China.
According to the new rules, members of the Communist Party of China and their families will be issued a maximum one-month visa for travel to the United States, which will allow them to visit the United States only once. Previously, the duration of this visa was up to ten years.
It is to be remembered that this decision has come out when two months are left for the resignation of US President Donald Trump. US President Donald Trump has taken a very tough stance on China after the trade agreements and the corona virus, after which the relations between these countries, which are recognized as the world’s two economic powers, have become extremely tense.
A spokesperson for the US State Department alleged that the Chinese Communist Party sent its agents to intimidate and spy on the activities of Chinese-American groups in the US and various groups working for human rights.
The spokesman says that the United States has given the Communist Party free access to institutions and business opportunities in the United States for years, while American citizens have never been treated equally in China.
However, the statement did not yet clarify how the ban would be applied, since the Communist Party of China has 9.2 million members who are not directly involved in political or state affairs.
Earlier, the US has closed the Chinese consulate in Houston, in response to which China also vacated the US consulate in its city of Shenzhen. Apart from this, several restrictions have been introduced by the US on students coming from China, while the largest number of foreign students studying in the US are from China.
Observers say that the policy of tension with China that was started by President Trump is likely that he will take the toughest measures against China before leaving office, due to which the newly elected president will face difficulties in the future. Will have to.
The spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said that the US said that this move is against its own interests. Such actions are the work of China-hating elements in America who have a Cold War mindset. This move is a step taken to exert political pressure.
