China suspends visas for South Koreans in virus retaliation

China has suspended visas for South Koreans. The embassy sais on Tuesday that visas for business, tourism, medical treatment, transit and general private affairs are suspended for South Koreans.

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.

Foreign ministry says South Korea’s strengthened quarantine is ‘based on scientific and objective grounds’
