Beijing has sharply criticized the introduction of a corona test obligation for travelers from China in several EU countries and a number of other countries and has threatened “countermeasures”. The procedure lacks “a scientific basis”, some practices are “unacceptable”, it said on Tuesday.
China is currently experiencing the highest rise in corona infections in the world and hospitals are overcrowded in many places. In early December, Beijing radically backed away from its strict zero-Covid policy. Since then, the corona restrictions have been relaxed considerably.
Is there a unified strategy for the EU?
Several countries, including the US and also European countries such as France, Spain, Italy and Great Britain, have already ordered a corona test for travelers from China. The EU states want to discuss a common strategy on Wednesday.
China threatens countermeasures
China could “take countermeasures based on the principle of reciprocity,” the foreign ministry spokeswoman said on Tuesday, referring to restrictions that have already been decided.
