Beijing threatens response to ‘unacceptable’ Covid measures imposed on Chinese travelers Jan. 3, 2023, 7:42 AM EST By Associated Press The Chinese government blasted Covid-19 testing requirements imposed on passengers from China and threatened countermeasures against countries involved, which include the U.S. and several European nations. “We believe that the entry restrictions adopted by some countries targeting China lack scientific basis, and some excessive practices are even more unacceptable,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a daily briefing Tuesday. “We are firmly opposed to attempts to manipulate the Covid measures for political purposes and will take countermeasures based on the principle of reciprocity,” she said. The comments were China’s sharpest to date on the issue. Australia and Canada this week joined a growing list of countries requiring travelers from China to take a Covid-19 test prior to boarding their flight, as China battles a nationwide outbreak of the coronavirus after abruptly easing restrictions that were in place for much of the pandemic. Other countries including the U.S., U.K., India, Japan and several European nations have announced tougher Covid-19 measures on travelers from China amid concerns over a lack of data on infections in China and fears of the possibility that new variants may emerge. French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne defended the tests. Starting Wednesday, anyone flying from China to France will have to present a negative virus test taken within the previous 48 hours and be subject to random testing on arrival. “We are in our role, my government is in its role, protecting the French,” Borne said Tuesday on France-Info radio. The U.K. will require that passengers from China take a Covid test before boarding the plane from Thursday. Transport Secretary Mark Harper said the requirement is for “collecting information” because Beijing isn’t sharing coronavirus data. Health officials will test a sample of passengers when they arrive in the U.K., but no quarantine is required for those who test positive, he said. “The policy for arrivals from China is primarily about collecting information that the Chinese government is not sharing with the international community,” Harper told the LBC radio station on Tuesday. Sweden’s Public Health Agency said Tuesday that it had urged the government to require travelers from China to present a recent negative Covid-19 test. The statement from the agency comes as Sweden, which has taken over EU’s rotating presidency, has called a meeting of the E.U.’s crisis management mechanism for Wednesday in Brussels, where travel restrictions will be discussed with the aim of agreeing on a common line. The Swedish government “is preparing to be able to introduce travel restrictions. At the same time, we are conducting a dialogue with our European colleagues to get the same rules as possible in the E.U.,” Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer said in a statement. Chinese health officials said last week that they had submitted data to GISAID, a global platform for sharing coronavirus data. The versions of the virus fueling infections in China “closely resemble” those that have been seen in different parts of the world between July and December, GISAID said Monday. Dr. Gagandeep Kang, who studies viruses in the Christian Medical College of Vellore in India, said that the information from China, albeit limited, seemed to suggest that “the pattern was holding” and that there wasn’t any sign of a worrisome variant emerging. Mao, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said that health authorities had recently held a video conference with the WHO to exchange views on the current Covid situation, medical treatment, vaccination and other technical issues, and agreed to continue technical exchanges to help end the pandemic as soon as possible. A senior Hong Kong official also criticized the steps taken by some other countries. Some countries have applied the requirements to passengers from Hong Kong and Macao, both semiautonomous Chinese territories, as well as mainland China. Hong Kong Chief Secretary Eric Chan said in a Facebook post that the government had written to various consulates on Monday to express its concerns over the “unnecessary and inappropriate” rules. Some Canadian experts have questioned the effectiveness of the testing. Kerry Bowman, assistant professor at the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine, said that people can test positive long after entering the country. The requirement is “not based on science at this point,” he said after Canada announced measures last weekend. China, which for most of the pandemic adopted a “zero-Covid” strategy that imposed harsh restrictions aimed at stamping out the virus, abruptly eased those measures in December. Chinese authorities previously said that from Jan. 8, overseas travelers would no longer need to quarantine upon arriving in China, paving the way for Chinese residents to travel. dukenyc125 发表于 2023-01-03 11:39
不要侮辱猪了,猪的智商比狗还高呢
谁说没披露了,中国一直在检测并上报给世界卫生组织好吧
这不是刚开放么,深度怀疑开放是为了反制
我也是,擦了好几遍眼镜
哈哈😆
这就叫精准防控
这很难理解吗?还能找出第二个对美国入境有限制的国家吗?这是最基本的对等,现在拿10年b2签证的中国人还能来美国旅游和探亲就偷着乐吧。
看来你不看新闻
因为也实在找不出第二个像中国一样的国家了。
re….xhs上一堆人说不去,😂
中国认为所以国家是高风险地区,限制入境。 美国不过是抄了作业,也限制高风险地区。 怎么厉害国又不高兴人家抄作业防范千里投毒吗
不是没有正常人,是一个傻子要全国14亿人跟着狂奔
所以呢, 我觉得欧美可能都摸不着头脑。对方这一钯到底是鲁哪里呢?
主要是中国信息不透明,都三年了还来当初武汉那一套,谁不怕?
对等疫区根本说不通。既然对等,你中国反对别人找你要阴性证明,那你也别找别人要阴性证明呀。只许自己要,不许别人要,就是流氓。
我就问,那一句看出来了“中国将进行反制报复”。。
中国一直要求48小时核酸,从来没变过,这算不算是对等。
回国已经千难万难了,不要标题党,行不行
但应该是有用的,别的国家都比较讲道理,感觉会取消这些限制。
这是又找到自恨新角度了?世界健康卫生仍以西方为主导,凭什么全部上报任其栽赃陷害?你以为其他国家就透明了?你以为美国冬季的住院紧张真都是流感导致的?你以为XBB真不会成为气候?为什么现在好多学校一开学有规定戴口罩了?在这个相互不信任和不公正的时代,谁也不谁的猫腻少。看看CDC这一路又瞒又骗最终导致病亡一百万的骚操作就知道了。
问题是别的国家对美国没有任何要求啊 美国怎么能对一个对自己没有要求的国家提要求呢? 只有中国对美国有要求啊 美国在中国疫情严重的时候对等一下我觉得合情合理吧?
re
因为关于疫情这件事全世界只有中国跟其他国家反着来啊。难道让美国也顺便限制加拿大入境吗,之前北美疫情严重的时候,美加边境确实关了很久啊。现在人家其他国家都一样了啊,还限制什么啊。
中国政府是因为这个要报复的吗? 脑子没用扔了吧.
论栽赃大国第二没人敢称第一
就是呀,还强国呢, 穷的连签证费都要再收割一遍
这话就太假了,这三年回去的中国公民可真不少呢
你回去了吗?
好多以前每年都全家回国的这三年都没回
你党当然可以选择不上报啊,但不想遵守规则就别呼天喊地怪别人不跟你玩,有点骨气嘛,过去三年中国用严厉得多的方式对待别国甚至自己的公民,别国也没这么怨声载道过。日增千万的速度,官方厚颜无耻闭着眼睛说瞎话说就几千,全世界都看着这个政府满口谎话完全没信用,你说其他国家也这样,问题是别人不这么想啊,其他国家政府做得再差还是比你党有credit啊。
建议美国终止10年签证入境,甚至绿卡入境,我保证,第二天中国对美国的10年签证就恢复了,还可能再加3年有效期。。
这么比喻, 猪和驴很受伤, 他俩善良多了
我错了,一想起那些口号,什么“快速过峰”,应阳尽阳,什么明知山有虎,偏向虎山行,确实连猪都不如,脑子里应该装的都是猪粪。
宠坏的小孩还有天真纯洁的一面呢。明明是个没脸没皮的无赖。
哪个数据库?
包博士和手下的狗官们把几十年来国家的信誉败了个精光
我看了半天,你的发言很客观,讲的都是事实!
这世界上总有人自恨。
我们中国政府在数据方面,是最开放的了。
比如一如既往的发布每天的疫情通报,你看哪国政府做到了?
美国死亡了一百万,中国三年多才死亡了5258新冠病例,有零有整,精确到个位数,让人无法不相信。
对了,神奇的四川仍然是每天一例死亡病例。

还是领导人民亩产万斤的那个党啊
这么说来火葬场的工作效率是真的太低了。
美国也没有针对中国啊,只是对疫情集中爆发国家的管控罢了。懂么?
记性差点的,逻辑差点的,脑子不就被洗了嘛。觉得列强亡我之心不死。
居然Miss了这个!
对,对你们这种五毛就是充满戾气,骂的咒的就是你们这帮贱货,so what
引用了再骂一遍,祝华人论坛上所有统一口径用“求仁得仁”四字的五毛不得好死
这个政府作出什么奇葩low穿地心的事都不会奇怪,将他们道理讲逻辑才是纯傻
看上去你是拥护X党的,你都不敢相信是吧?我党就这么不要脸。
当时是川普太过分
