Tibet row: US imposes visa restrictions on China
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The United States imposed visa restrictions on Chinese officials responsible for allowing foreigners into Tibet, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
Rubio said the additional visa restrictions are being introduced because the Chinese Communist Party "has refused to afford U.S. diplomats, journalists, and other international observers access to the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and other Tibetan areas of China," although Chinese diplomats and journalists have, according to him, broad access to the United States.
"This lack of reciprocity is unacceptable," Rubio said in a statement.
He called on China's leadership to eliminate the difference in approaches and allow diplomats' access to the specified areas of China.
The secretary of state did not indicate against whom exactly the restrictions were imposed. Traditionally, the Department of State does not make this public, insisting on the internal nature of information about visas.
