China resumes issuing ordinary visas to Japanese nationals - Embassy

Beijing, Jan 29 (UNI) China has resumed issuing ordinary visas to Japanese citizens after halting the procedure earlier in January, the Chinese Embassy in Japan said on Sunday.
"Beginning today, the Chinese embassy and consulates in Japan will resume issuing ordinary visas for Japanese citizens traveling to China," the statement read.
China stopped issuing ordinary visas to Japanese citizens on January 10 in connection with Tokyo's "discriminatory" requirement for Chinese travelers to submit negative PCR tests. In particular, on December 30, Japan announced stricter quarantine measures for those arriving from China.
