Tokyo:

China will “droop the issuance” of visas to Japanese residents from Tuesday, its embassy in Tokyo mentioned, in an obvious response to Japan’s restrictions on Chinese language travellers over a surge in Covid instances.

Beijing earlier on Tuesday suspended issuing short-term visas to South Koreans in an identical tit-for-tat response to Seoul’s imposition of journey restrictions on Chinese language guests.
