United States imposes visa curbs on members of Chinese Communist Party due to “malign influence”
The US Government has had a new immigration policy of restriction CCP members and their families from traveling to the United States. It reduces the maximum validity length of the B1/B2 non-immigrant business and tourist visas from 10 years to one month. The State Department said the measure was aimed at protecting the nation from the part’s malign influence,”, adding CCP works to "influence Americans through propaganda, economic coercion, and other nefarious activities", also stating that the CCP "sends agents to the United States to unabashedly monitor, threaten, and report on Chinese nationals and Chinese-American groups."
China’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying called it “an escalated form of political oppression towards China” and that American officials should “stop regarding everyone as spies”.
The new immigration policy “will not mean much” until a COVID-related ban on Chinese travelers is lifted.
