Sharjah24 – AFP: China has suspended the issuing of short-term visas to South Koreans in response to Seoul imposing travel restrictions on Chinese travellers over Covid concerns, Beijing's embassy in Seoul said Tuesday.

"Chinese embassies and consulates in Korea will suspend the issuance of short-term visas for Korean citizens," the embassy said, adding the measures would be "adjusted again in line with South Korea's removal of the discriminatory entry restrictions on China."
