The Chinese government on Tuesday threatened to impose „countermeasures“ after the United States required travelers from China to provide a negative coronavirus test to enter the country.
„We believe that the entry restrictions adopted by some countries targeting China lack scientific basis, and some excessive practices are even more unacceptable,“ said Mao Ning, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mao added that testing requirements are „for political purposes“ and the Chinese Communist Party will respond „based on the principle of reciprocity.“
The United Kingdom and a majority of countries in the European Union are joining the United States in requiring negative COVID tests for travelers from China.
