China suspends issuance of ordinary visas for Japanese citizens to China

On the evening of January 10, the Chinese embassy in Japan issued an announcement stating that starting from now on, the Chinese embassy and consulates in Japan will suspend the issuance of ordinary visas for Japanese citizens to China. Please be notified when it will be restored. Japan’s entry restriction measures against China require passengers from China to provide a nucleic acid test report within 72 hours, and to conduct a more accurate nucleic acid test after landing. If they are positive, they will be quarantined, but the quarantine is free. Earlier, the Chinese embassy in South Korea announced on the 10th that from now on, the Chinese embassy and consulates in South Korea will suspend the issuance of short-term visas for Korean citizens to China. | Related reading (First Finance and Economics)

For passengers entering from China, the Japanese Prime Minister has also spoken twice before, upgrading from the need for qualitative antigen testing to PCR testing and quantitative antigen testing with higher accuracy.

Perhaps some of the landing inspection and isolation measures required by Japan are indeed out of concern about a new round of epidemic outbreaks, but just like when the Shanghai epidemic broke out before, many places set up special Shanghai passages for landing inspections, too strict isolation measures are contrary to It is not conducive to the scientific understanding of the virus, and it is not conducive to the exchange of cultural and economic activities.

Except for countries such as Japan, South Korea, and India, there are indeed international concerns about the current situation of the epidemic in China. Part of it comes from the epidemic itself, and the other part focuses on the impact of the peak of the epidemic on China’s economic recovery, the impetus of the world economy, and the recovery of the supply chain. The recovery of China’s future consumption demand will also have a certain impact on the current energy structure. Generally speaking, reaching the peak earlier is beneficial to China’s economic recovery, and the world still welcomes China’s opening up. Whether Japan and South Korea’s defensive posture has practical difficulties, is out of date, or whether it takes into account a certain consensus reached in multilateral relations is not known. As for China’s own recovery and governance, I saw a sentence yesterday and thought it was very appropriate: There is not much outsiders can do to help
