Scholars interviewees analyzed that China first launched countermeasures to South Korea.Send a warning.However, scholars believe that a more rational and mature foreign policy should be as dilute as possible, not to complicate the problem with countermeasures.
The Chinese Embassy in Korea announced on Tuesday at noon (January 10) on Tuesday (January 10) that South Korean citizens went to China for a short -term visa in China.This is the first counter -control measure taken by China after the recent restrictions on Chinese passengers' entry restrictions on Chinese passengers.The Chinese Embassy in Japan also announced the same night that it has suspended the review of Japanese citizens to China.
The analysis of scholars interviewees analyzed that China first launched countermeasures to South Korea. On the one hand, it was dissatisfied with South Korea's strict epidemic prevention measures adopted by South Korea's Chinese and Chinese passengers, and on the other hand, it also issued warnings to other countries.However, scholars believe that a more rational and mature foreign policy should be as dilute as possible, not to complicate the problem with countermeasures.
According to the news released by the Chinese embassy in Korea, China suspended visa issued to South Korea, including visa, business, tourism, medical treatment, transit, and general private affairs. The embassy stated that this measure was "based on domestic instructions"And emphasized that it will be adjusted to the cancellation of the discriminatory inbound restrictions on China in South Korea.
According to the Yonhap News Agency, South Korea regrets the decision in China that day.South Korean foreign officials said that China explained to the South Korean side before taking measures that South Korea has conveyed its position to China through diplomatic channels.
Tighten the entry measures according to Korean science and objective
Ren Yan, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea, said at a regular press conference that the Korean government's basis for strengthening the inbound prevention measures from China is scientific and objective.Communicate this position to the Chinese side.
South Korea also announced on Tuesday afternoon that all flights from Hong Kong and Macau can only land at Incheon International Airport, Seoul.
Chinese officials announced on December 26 last year that it will be greatly loosened by the border epidemic prevention measures from January 8 this year, but the large -scale outbreak of China's domestic epidemic has caused concerns about many countries and regions.Since late December, the United States, Japan, Italy, India and other countries have successively introduced corresponding control measures for Chinese tourists.
However, compared with most other countries, South Korea's measures are more stringent. It requires passengers to detect before and landing crown diseases, forced the isolation of Chinese passengers in Chengyang, and a short -term visa for suspension of issuing to South Korea.Some Chinese travelers who went to South Korea also complained on the Internet, saying that Korean border inspections required all Chinese passengers to wear uniform yellow chest cards and go to the airport to receive nucleic acid testing separately, making them feel like "yellow cards" like making mistakes.
Li Mingjiang, an associate professor at the Rajerinan International Research Institute of Nanyang University of Technology in Singapore, said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that from the perspective of China, it may be considered that the restrictions on South Korea may be "one -size -fits -all" and an over -reaction.At the same time, China adopts countermeasures to signals to other countries to avoid upgrading and control measures of these countries.
Zhu Feng, dean of the School of International Relations of Nanjing University, told this newspaper that the actions of restricting visas in China not only involved South Korea, but also Japan.The first is to protest against relevant countries; the second is that China is also worried that after the entry of the country is completely open, a large number of overseas cases have poured in, which may cause the second wave of epidemic peaks in China.China announced on the same day of suspending the issuance of short -term South Korea's visa, and it also announced the suspension of the trial of a normal visa to the Japanese citizen to go to China.The Kyodo News Agency earlier quoted tourists that China said that China had previously informed the travel agency.After receiving the notice, a travel agency in Tokyo inquired about the website of the China Visa Service Center and found that almost all types of Chinese visas have been unable to apply.
Li Mingjiang believes that "the possibility is very small" for whether China will expand countermeasures to more countries.He said that the situation in China is slowing down, and other countries have no reason to further upgrade the control and control, and these controls are also double -edged swords, and both sides are damaged.
Li Mingjiang also added. Most countries are relatively moderate, and it is understandable to a certain extent. "From the perspective of relatively balanced foreign policy, it is not necessary to adopt countermeasures in China."
Zhu Feng believes that whether China will expand the scope of countermeasures in the future mainly depends on the situation of the epidemic situation in other countries and the severe degree of restrictions on Chinese tourists.
