The Government of China has branded as «unacceptable» the measures adopted by some countries to control the arrival of travelers arriving from the Asian giant, claiming that there are no scientific arguments to justify the restrictions approved by governments such as that of Spain.
«We are firmly opposed to manipulating pandemic prevention and control measures to achieve political objectives,» said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning in a media appearance reported by the official press.
Beijing thus reserves the right to retaliate, in accordance with the «principle of reciprocity» governing international relations. The spokeswoman did not go into further details on these possible retaliations.
Several countries – mainly in Asia but also the United States and some European countries – have begun to require a negative test for coronavirus or a complete vaccination schedule to allow entry of travelers from China, where there has been an explosion of contagions in recent weeks after the lifting of most of the restrictions.
